Do people tell the truth about South Africa or not? So many
stories surface through social media, and international channels about the
good, the bad and the horror of South Africa. The present government believes
it is all a bunch of fibs. According to the government, it is all wrong.
Facts are facts, and the truth is just that – the truth. Is
there a pleasant way to describe the murder, rape or corruption, no, it is just
what it is. When a farmer and his family are cruelly tortured, and murdered
should the writer refrain from disclosing details and dance to the tune of the
government. When corruption affects the poor and the homeless, must the author
hide the facts or tell the story of misrepresentation only. When children as
young as six months are brutally raped and killed, does the writer even need to
report such facts.
Perhaps if everybody painted a sunshine picture and reported
on the blue skies, the rolling landscapes, the white sandy beaches and the
prosperity of the country, South Africa would appear to be a haven for
investors and tourists. Perhaps the good news story President Zuma boasts about
is real or is it.
President Zuma had a good story to tell on service deliveries during his state of the nation speech, and the public have a story of desperation to tell. The escalation of service delivery protests has spiraled more than five times more than between 2004 and 2009. People are desperate for change. Innocent people have died during protests for fundamental human rights. The access to water and the infrastructure falling apart is a constant headache for struggling people. Is there a good story to tell?The members welcomed his tough talk on corruption and crime, but again it only talk. No action and no discipline, the corruption continues to spiral out of control.
Zuma had a good story to tell on the economy of the country, but the people of South Africa tell a different story, a story of frustration. Unemployment is not a statistic; it is a cold, harsh reality and reality for too many South Africans. The labor policies set up with the ANC's coalition partners are crippling the economy.
The stories
written are real and truthful, however despairing they might be. The horror of
farm murders, the ongoing white genocide, the murders, crime, rapes, corruption
and desperation. It is all true. Photos, videos and stories by South African
citizens tell a story of truth, no matter how horrific it might appear. The
government tells another story.
South
Africa is a majestically ever-changing land of opportunities, diverse cultures
and breathtakingly beautiful, scenic landscapes. South Africa is an egalitarian
rainbow nation with the most-official languages in the world dominated by the
communication and conflict among the different ethnic groups.
Exploring the mysterious
and gorgeous exotic locations around South Africa is an exhilarating
experience. A firm favorite is the Mpumalanga region known as the land of the
big five game reserves. The king of the jungle, the lions, the elephants,
tigers, leopards and a variety of other animals reveal the power and bold
beauty for all to enjoy. The wildlife
and birds capture the essence of divinity.
It is known as a paradise, and there are few places in the world to contest the astonishing
beauty of this region. Breathtaking panoramic passes, rolling hills, fabulous
valleys, rivers, enchanting waterfalls, and evergreen forests are unique. Characteristically
this is an idyllic location to experience. Indulge the appeal under the
sizzling sky surrounded by the beautiful scenery truly a setting in paradise.
Yes, indeed South Africa is a beautiful country,
unfortunately going to ruin with the ongoing crime, murders, rape, corruption,
and not to forget drug haven. Perhaps the most-unpleasant reality over the last
ten years is the escalation of farm murders and the drive to kill white people.
The statistics reveal an increase in these crimes and sadly, little or most of
the time nothing is done to stop the cruelty.
South Africa, beautiful, yes but tormented by crime.
The South African history is remarkable, and the country is
a colorful destination, with intensely fascinating places to discover. South
Africa is a never ending pleasure of beauty, color and fantastic weather. The unique,
beautiful locations and diverse cultures remain entertaining. Through the
turbulent history of uniting, its entire people to live in a country peacefully
and strive to become a first-class country. We hope.
Expats bashing South Africa a problem?
Apparently expats bashing the country from abroad are all wrong and it’s causing damage to the reputation of the country. We are just supposed to lie and tell everyone that it’s hunky-dory back home and that if anyone wants to visit then they don’t have to worry about the crime and violence.This is according to ANC Minister Collin Chabane, who was shocked to hear a taxi driver in Dubai tell him that SA is a “very bad country”.So, the brave Mr Chabane decided to accompany Brand South Africa to Australia – on another all-paid luxurious field trip and flying first-class no doubt – to lecture expats that they have just imagined all the problems and that the country was going great!Yeah, we all left for no reason at all. We uprooted our families, got rid of our beloved pets, left family and friends behind, just so that we could bash the country from abroad. No other reason….As you may have deduced by now, I didn’t attend one of these uplifting events held in Australia where the ANC and the other idiots came to tell us how great it is back home. To tell us what we’re missing out on. They picked Melbourne and Sydney to hold their little Kumbaya events – not Perth, which is home to the most expats here in Australia. Queensland is next, yet they decided that Melbourne and Sydney were the places to be.Farking nutjob gravy-train stooges.Well, sorry Mr Chabane, but this expat will continue to tell the truth. My auditors asked why I had left South Africa and I told all 5 of them that I left because South Africa is now run by corrupt racist politicians, that there was no future for my sons, and that the crime is out of control. JUST LIKE THAT. No covering the truth. No putting it in flowery terms. No double-speak. Just the truth about why I took my family and left my homeland. That’s why I put my family through the trauma of leaving all that they knew and loved – not because nothing was wrong and it was all in my imagination….South Africa Today – South Africa NewsRead more on -
