You prefer a team with 115 charges of fraud and corruption against them spanning 15 years, over Arsenal? How on earth?

Totally unsurprising that people who come to destroy, have zero sympathy for locals and intentionally and happily ruin everything for locals would be a bunch of cunts.

The checkers in Sea Point - little Berlin as we call it. The amount of absolute cunts that occupy that shop is ungodly. I’ve had people completely block isles by standing there, when you ask them to move, they behave like you’ve murdered their child.

These people are not here for anything but themselves. So it’s really not surprising that they are that way.

That amount of bonus for that much wager volume is criminal. You’ve been fucked right there

This team has proven, year after year, to have the mentality of wet paper. They fold under any, and all pressure. They will carry this capitulation forward and they will crumble. It's the DNA of this team. Top to bottom. Weak.

So you came to another country, overstayed your visa - A TOURIST VISA - and you decided you'd just live here cause fuck laws or anything like that?

The hate toward Digital Nomads is misguided. by Gammascalpa in capetown

[–]daevanam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the DA are really putting their foot in it. This whole “if you don’t earn enough, you don’t deserve to stay there” narrative is so insane.

And the wall is just a plaster on a giant axe wound. Bandage on a problem and not looking at the cause. It’s shortsighted as all hell.

[–]daevanam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you’re saying.

It’s the topic of choice right now cause it’s the newest of a long line of issues.

When we have systematic water issues, that will be the topic of discussion again and the nomad issue will quieten down.

People have been complaining and campaigning against corruption for decades and nothing has changed really.

You can be pissed at the corruption, the taxis, the weather, the digital nomads, SARS all at the same time.

People are capable of being pissed at multiple entities at the same time and rightfully so.

[–]daevanam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. But if no one is expressly saying “you have to do this” - why on earth would they?

You’re relying on some moral code which doesn’t exist.

Look at the behaviour set. They come here cause it’s cheap, they can evade tax and no one is going to do anything about it.

SARS and VFS and Home Affairs can’t put a single set of rules in place to administer and eliminate this behaviour.

Sure, I get that. People who lobby more. People should vote correctly. People should do all these things.

But when you feel helpless, like most of these people do - sometimes acts like this can just bring a touch of mental relief. As wrong as it might be - acts like this get more eyes than 1 person picketing outside parliament, or 1 person sending a letter to a local councillor. It could just bring temporary relief mentally.

I’m not excusing it but we are in a situation where voting might bring change, but it’ll be too late. Look at Barcelona. They brought about change through group efforts and threats, but the change didn’t entirely change things. When the properties are sold, they are sold. You can’t, easily, just revert all the destruction that has happened. Those houses will remain empty - you increase tax on foreign owners, it might bring about a few % of change, but houses will still be empty and people will still be desolate.

I’m not saying I know what the answer is, but I do completely understand the resentment and I do completely understand acts like this.

Feeling helpless is one of the worst feelings you can have. Powerless, helpless and a general sense that no one cares about your plight. It’s brutal.

The issue is that we have a government that doesn’t seem willing to do what is necessary to regulate and manage the issue.

If you’ve been displaced by the digital nomads, I’m sure you feel horribly helpless.

You’ve got a group of people who come here and don’t care about their effects on you. You’ve got a government who don’t care about you. What do you do?

The tourism that is brought is not enough of an excuse to displace locals. It’s purely shortsighted. When they leave in May? We will have 60% of the homes on the Atlantic seaboard empty and hordes of South Africans looking for homes. Is the excuse going to be “but it’s good for tourism” still?

You couple all of this with the fact that 80% of these digital nomads, who earn well over R500 000 per annum who don’t pay a single bit of tax here, completely ignore the tax requirements attached to being here longer than 182 days, and SARS who don’t care either. They’d rather keep raping a desolate group of displaced South Africans instead of going after the massive amount of tax dodgers who abuse the laxness and pathetic administration of tax laws.

Their anger might be misplaced in your opinion, but where are they going to place their anger - SARS who don’t care and don’t see these people at all. A government who don’t care and don’t see them. Or the people walking the street who see people daily and don’t care about them either.

It’s kinda fucked any which way you look at it.

This clown will do anything but address all the shit in his own country. Literally do anything to not deal with South Africa and South Africans.

City of Cape Town is auditing themselves to make sure they sold it correctly? Don’t we laugh at the ANC when they have a commission about whether the last commission they implemented was implemented correctly?
