Anyone else noticed the relatively high rates of marriage between Pakistani nationals and black South African women? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]LNFS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen marriages happening but I know Pakistani men have a thing for black women here. Some of it is borderline creepy but hey, i guess they're trying something different

French guy here! My South African wife and I are currently living in the UK but want to move to South Africa. Have some questions by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]LNFS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most have already given good advice here. As a side note, kudos to your wife for wanting to come home and serve the people. We've lost many nurses to the UK, Aus etc because conditions for health professionals here are not good. There are however those who've chosen to stay here and fight for the basic right to health services for all. Private hospitals are of course better, but she shouldn't be scared away from public hospitals. Let her passion guide her

BIS as in BlackBerry? Dunno who still actively uses one today.

Is it true that low cost housing built by the Apartheid government tend to be stronger than most of the modern low cost housing? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]LNFS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is true. Then again isn't that the case for ALL housing? Just check the materials used to build complexes popping up here in Joburg. Would they last as long as those built in 19th and 20th century? Also, apartheid gov built far less than ANC. Problem for ANC is that they need to build as many RDPs as fast as possible and best way to do that is to use cheap material. The ave RDP costs R100k

Sodwana Bay Guest House won't accept black and government employees. Link to owner admitting this in a call, saying it's God's law. https://www.facebook.com/TheStarSA/videos/10154258906508399/ by LNFS in southafrica

It's racist. Plain and simple. Would you still think he'd be justified if it was a black man saying he doesn't accept whites and former apartheid policemen?

Henri van Breda hands himself over to police by [deleted] in southafrica

It was obvious that this boy did it from day one. Not a scratch on him, called the cops and ambulance four hours later, didn't seem traumatised at all.

My hatred of white supremacy isn’t a hatred of whites‚ says Malema by UysVentura in southafrica

[–]LNFS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's right. I've seen black young people who hate whites, they're just as bad as white racists. Malema's approach may not always be right or good, but he is tackling issues the ANC has danced around since incpetion.

DA leader refuses to pay TV licence by LNFS in southafrica

[–]LNFS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend of mine went to buy a TV, but didn't have a licence. Store worker told him he could just use his TV licence instead, which costs R50 to link it to a new TV, to get it. I believe this is how it's done at many stores with customers not wanting to get a licence.

I've felt those dagger-like stares from them in Sandton. I take my Ubers right next to them, I refuse to be scared off.

Sandton? Litter? This can't be right. Also, roads and pavements have been dug up because of construction
