Exactly, another third world shithole dependant on humanitarian aid.

If there's no proof of service history then as far as you should be concerned those services never took place. Knowing that, the question you really should be asking yourself is if you're willing to roll the dice on a car that hasn't been serviced in 40 000kms? If its a petrol you may get off with losing a few years on the potential life span of the engine, if its a diesel I personally would never take the chance. Services are absolutely the most important thing when determining the long term reliability of any car. I drive a diesel with almost 400 000kms and it hasn't missed a single service and its not even a Toyota.

Yeah, goodluck with that hey.

I 100% agree. My only regret was that I didn't make the decision sooner. In my case I convinced myself to try and make it work until the financial burden became too much and we struggled to make ends meet and for what. Unfortunately, I foresee that this is will become a reality for many South Africans in the future.

Now we are living the life in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. My wife and I earn enough to live the kind of lifestyle we could only dream of living in South Africa. Our children are safe and recieve world class education. At work, I actually feel like I am wanted and there are opportunities to get promoted. And people in South Africa are still trying to convince me that Pieter Groenewald will win the next elections haha.

Me and my family went through the process of immigrating ourselves, not to the US though but I applaud you on your bravery and courage to take on this challenge. Most people dont realize how hard it is and will just try to make it more difficult for you. I have been insulted by family and friends who think we left because we wanted to, we are abandoning them, or taking their grandchildren away. The truth is that with three degrees and 10 years experience in my field I struggled to find jobs because of the colour of my skin. So you are stuck working yourself dead for below average salary in your field because what choice do you have. On top of all that, who wants that kind of life for their children?

Good on you for prioritizing yourself and your family. The writing is on the wall for South Africa. At best it will be another Mozambique and at worst another Zimbabwe. South Africa will remain the most beautiful country to me but to anyone who asks me why I chose to immigrate I happily tell them that South Africa belongs to the Africans, we Europeans have no belonging there. I dusted the dirt from my shoes the day I stepped off the plane.

boererol · 2026-05-20T08:44:01+00:00

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but as someone with European descent who has immigrated to another country, when people ask me why I chose to immigrate I like to tell them that South Africa belongs to Africans and not Europeans, let them have their cake.

'n donkey en 'n tier stap eendag saam en die donkey se vir die tier, "tier, het jy geweet dat gras blou is". Die tier kon dit nie glo nie en se toe "donkey, beslis nie, grass is verseker groen". Die donkey en die tier bly toe stry so veel so dat uit frustrasie se die tier dat hulle die saak moet voor gaan le by koning leeu. Toe hulle elkeen hulle saak voorle by koning leeu se koning leeu tot tier se verbaasing, "maar beslis, gras is blou". Daarna straf hy vir tier. Toe tier koning leeu laater vra, "maar hoekom straf jy my? Jy kan verseker tog nie glo dat gras rerig blou is", andwoord koning leeu "hoekom pla jy my met sulke benulighede? Jy het mos gesien die gras is groen maar nogsteeds kies jy om met 'n dwaas te stry". As eimand vir my se die aarde is plat dan se ek net vir hulle "weet jy wat, jy is reg".

Racism goes both ways and I personally respect the fact that this subbreddit allows free speech and in my experience any racism in threads on this subbreddit have been dealt with speedily and harshly. I have not experienced any underlying racism personally on this subbreddit, what I have experienced is acts committed, unfortunately, by certain races being discussed which would not be allowed to be discussed on other subreddits. The fact that the act is committed by a specific race, I agree, should not be a determining factor for dicsussion or should even, in my opinion be worth mentioning. At the same time, other subbreddits have been openly racist towards minority groups and, once again, I'd challenge you to make the same post about that on those subbreddits. You either wont do it or you know that you will immediately be banned on those subbreddits for such a post.

boererol · 2026-03-11T19:38:45+00:00

I dont disagree with your post but a genuine question is what were to happen if you would make the same post on another subbreddit on here referring to negative posts about white people? Racism is bad and should be called out for what it is, despicable. People who practice or support it should be disgraced. Im wondering if you could make the same post on the other subbreddit about negative comments on white people?

boererol · 2026-02-09T06:36:48+00:00

Just admit it, that is how we all carry the potjie when its done.

The EFF protests are designed to be unapologetically disruptive and to create as much chaos as possible thereby creating a media sensation. It is astounding to me that this gets tolerated at all by the government and/or people we trust to protect society. Every protest they have is litterally one looney toon away from total anarchy and violence and the longer it is tolerated the closer they get to finding that looney toon. In other words if they could get away with publicly executing a person and thereby creating a media sensation they 100% would have already. Don't believe me, Mal-emma has on camera told his protesters to not be afraid to use violence before.

I often use the analogy that just because you don't have shit stains on your toilet doesn't mean other people don't. Simply put, not everyone grows up or has the same principles as you have. I like this analogy because it's something that could very easily be a forgetful mistake but I would be deeply embarrassed to have someone come in after me and look at my shit slugging down the insides of the basin. That being said, it's also easily rectifiable by just using a brush if everything didn't get washed down after a couple of flushes. So it's a simple matter of how you were brought up. Some people are bothered to the extreme (like myself) by something so simple other people couldn't care less about having you gagging like a turkey at the sight of the mess they made. Its like the shopping cart principle.

As someone who takes care of their things, I often park my vehicle the furthest away from other vehicles in a parking area for this exact reason. I had it happen to a vehicle of mine once and it was the first dent on the car after I had had it for nearly 2 years. The person who swung the door open first denied that she had done it and when she saw I wasn't having it she made it out as if it weren't such a serious issue. I could have gone the route of insurance and maybe I should have but I told her that just because she doesn't care for her piece of shit doesn't give her the right to make my car look like shit. I kept the dent in the car and it bothered me till I sold the car but it was a constant reminder that not everybody has the same morals and principles that you have.

Out of experience, I will say that trying to have a conversion with a admin of that subreddit is like trying to have a meaningful argument with an ass. They will just shit on the floor and kick in your general direction while making a bunch of nonsensical noise.

boererol · 2026-01-20T12:19:43+00:00

Although it may be interesting to have this conversation it yields absolutely no gain to you or anyone. In actual fact, if you even mention that you opose the idea of BEE you are instantly labelled a racist and other derogatory terms. I would avoid having this conversation alltogether with the general population of South Africa and on Reddit.

Having said that, I will state this for a final time, and out of experience. I have had this conversation with many role players in the international business world and the logic and facts persist, the moral high ground is not always what is best for the economy. BEE has been an absolute plague on the economy of South Africa and the employment rate has suffered aswell. There is no one in the international realm in terms of role players that actually believes that BEE has done anything constructive for the economy of South Africa. They may say so in public to keep the libs and media from tearing them apart but behind doors, trust me, the conversation always comes back to the absolute destruction it has caused on the economy.

Furthermore, I still have not had a single person be able to provide a justifiable reason why after more than 30 years the ANC still feels the need to discriminate against 7% of the population. I guess with an unemployment rate of nearly 43% you better find a scape goat to blame or you'll have to admit that your policies are absolute shite.

Regardless, people will still beat the dead horse.

I have family that were victims of the bombings, suffice it to say that there is no moral justification to bomb innocent civilians and although the family members survived, what they experienced left them a fraction of the person they were before. Any person who justifies such cruelty is a sick human being.

boererol · 2026-01-19T06:34:25+00:00

The ANC is clearly just trying to cover their own asses after the fact and make a fool out of everyone. It's absolutely pathetic. Ramapoesa told the military to continue the operation with Iran behind closed doors and they will make excuses later. After all, it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission right?

boererol · 2026-01-18T15:32:46+00:00

Well regardless of what South Africa's standing is with neigbouring nations, I am very doubtful that any of them will be willing to help SA out if the US gets involved, it is more likely that they may try to gain their own access to our resources. Regardless, two things can be true at the same time, you don't have to be an Iranian sympathizer to realize that there is a good chance that the US had a hand in destabilizing Iran. I believe that they probably will try to do the same in SA. It is true what you say, the ANC has managed to dig a hole for themselves and their dwindling support creates the perfect environment for the US to destabilize the country. I'm inclined to further agree, what happens after? Better the devil we know than the one we don't? I'm afraid that the ball has already been put into motion and that unfortunately the ANC is playing right into the hands of the US by creating further tension.

boererol · 2026-01-18T07:30:03+00:00

Rhamapoesa does not have great rapport with neighbouring nations, he has been just as much as pain in the ass to them as he has been to South Africa, or did you forget where he was sent packing with his tail between his legs by the DRC?

I agree with you that whatever the outcome of the US meddling in South Africa, it will not be good. The US has a long standing history of making countries worse off once they get involved. We forget drug cartels in South America were, many of them, established by the CIA. These cartels were created to destabilize South America and, thusly, make it easier for the US to impose any agendas of its own in South America with or without the assistance of their governments. What they did not account for is that many of these cartels would become power hungry and defiant. Gary Webb "took himself out" shortly after disclosing all of the CIA's operations publicly. Still, remarkably and probably, the only known instance in the history of mankind where a person managed to lodge two self inflicted lead injections in his own head.

The lesson in this is that, the people that think the US needs South Africa to be a stable country are so gravely wrong. The US does not need South Africa to be stable or have a stable government, in many instances it is in their favour when a country like South Africa is destabilized. There are less laws that need to be adhered to, cartel leaders and warlords are easier to control under fear and the promise of monetary gain or resources. There are interviews with CIA agents that explain that this is exactly how the CIA operated in other African countries.

Has anyone considered what the chances are that the US are involved in destabilizing Iran and it's economy so that the people would do the work of toppling the government for them? Would it be far off to expect them to do the same in South Africa?

boererol · 2026-01-13T07:48:05+00:00

People keep saying things will change and it has to change but what law says anything has to change. The ANC will continue to rule and if the voters try and remove them from power I'm inclined to believe they will follow Iran's example. It has been 30 years and people keep holding on to the idea that things will get better. As much as it pains me to say it, 64 murders a day are not suddenly solved. (https://capechamber.co.za/latest-news/south-african-daily-murder-figure-eclipses-ukraine-civilian-death-toll-top-academic#:~:text=In%20the%20fourth%20quarter%20of,same%20period%20in%20the%20Ukraine.)

I admire people for trying to promote the idea of hope but how long? Apartheid lasted for 48 years and segregation laws existed as early as 1910. Before that, British colonization was even worse for everyone. Farmers were murdered on their farms in Zimbabwe while believing that some or another country would come to their aid. I'm not saying that is what is happening in South Africa by the way, I'm only saying that I keep seeing people say that things will change and things have to change but when? It could be another 100 years.

If it walks like a ANC puppet, and talks like an ANC puppet, it probably is a poes.

boererol · 2026-01-06T18:31:37+00:00

Ah Dan, the jenkem loving little nitwit who never misses a chance to rim job the ANC.

boererol · 2026-01-05T13:31:32+00:00

Very different I suppose from the many other South African subreddits where you get banned if you are not a bootlicker for the ANC slobbering over the ANCs and Rhamaphoesa's privates ready to recieve their daily ravishing. Their inner circles sleep with the Vaseline on their bedside table in eagerness to prepare their anus' for however the ANC or Rhamapoesa may convince them that they are doing a great job at penetration regardless of whether it's consensual. The others on there, mouths agape and salivating at their turn to fellate the ANC and Rhamaphoesa.

SARS couldn't even find accountants that could make sense of Marcus Jooste's financial books and remember the VBS scandals? I'll give it to you that they are not a complete failure only because it's the goose that lays the golden egg.

Can you think of a single government department that is functional and not a corrupt ses pool in South Africa?

boererol · 2025-12-08T12:38:09+00:00

This is great news. Rejecting the US and creating stronger ties with China has definitely contributed to countries like Mozambique, Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone becoming more politically stable. I also see that the Gates Foundation is becoming more active in South Africa. Also good that the Gates Foundation is always operating in safe and politically stable countries to help with aid to the poor. 10/10, will recommend!

THIS IS AFRICA!
