| 1361800 | 2013-12-07 19:29:00 | are the black South Africans better off? Toward the end of 1979 I was in an interview in the Park Lane Hotel, London where I was shortlisted for the GM position of Air Botswana. The interview moved to focus on my personal attitudes and I remember asking one of the interviewers, Sir Seretse Khama, his own attitude towards apartheid. His answer was along the lines of, it was a necessary evil, and without it SA would implode. I thought at the time Sir Seretse was the High Commissioner, but after he died a few months later, it was only then I learned he was the President of Botswana. His marriage to a white woman had helped create the turmoil in Africa at the time that was white vs black, and his own very open views possibly influenced by an Oxford and Cambridge education. A very interesting man to say the least. Who knows what may have come about had he lived longer. I'm not sure that would bear thinking about. :2cents: No I didn't get the job. |

Saw this in a group some months ago ANC’s LIST OF ACHIEVEMENTS ... READS LIKE A FAIRY TALE • 19 years of ANC rule unemployment has gone up by 60% !! • South Africa is now the rape capital of the world. • After 19 years of ANC rule we have achieved the dubious distinction of being 140th on a world list of 144 countries for our education department. • We are officially the country where the most hijacks take place. • We are also on the top ten list for the most murders. • In 19 years the rand/dollar has gone from R3.41 to R10.00 • During ANC rule the petrol price has gone from R1.73 to R12.83 per liter. • In 19 years our defense force has gone from being the iron fist of Africa to a laughing stock that can’t defend Disneyland from an invasion of fluffy toys. • On the list of most corrupt governments they have given us a special place right at the top. • In 19 years we have ten times more people in squatter camps and 1000% more illegal immigrants. • In 19 years our roads, railways, military, police, municipal services, old age homes, hospitals and orphanages have literally fallen apart and are worth nothing anymore. • No other country on the planet has more convicted criminals in their parliament than us!! • 25% of all South African school girls are HIV+. • Our school girls had 100 000 abortions last year and those are only the legal ones!! |

That might have something to do with why their are so many South Africans now living in NZ |

That is pretty much how it was explained to me by Kiwi’s returning home. One, a Doctor who worked in one of their hospitals, tells a story of a Nurse whose behaviour raised attention as she ran backward and forwards to the Sterilising Room. Investigation revealed that she was cooking chooks in the Steriliser. :yuck: Still, it seems like the Natives over there enjoy Political Masochism. |

| 1361805 | 2013-12-09 06:41:00 | It's always a problem when a colonising power makes no attempt to get the locals up to speed with running a country. Look around, there are plenty of ex-colonies in the same boat. The first one I know of was the Romans in Britain - collapse of society for hundreds of years after the legions left. |

| 1361806 | 2013-12-09 18:28:00 | I see where the NZ taxpayer is sending a junket to the funeral, but Minto is moaning he has been missed out. Yep the Dick Head is still proud of contributing to the state South Africa is now in. But isn’t the whole event just oozing of hypocrisy, unbelievable. :groan: |
