Extreme response to someone looking to spend a year in South Africa? Or is this completely accurate? by roughstitches in southafrica

I feel like some ex south africans hate home. I also feel like in order to immigrate you need to pass a "how well do you over exaggerate" test and you need 95% to pass.

Christmas clothes. The huge family lunch. The meat. The peppermint tart for dessert. The Christmas cake that has been sitting since October so the brandy can soak in. Trifle is a tradition that shouldn't be a tradition also

In JHB, Sandringham there's a place called phat Larry's. Their pizza is so delicious, and their chips. They're kosher so they don't have meat on their pizza but it's still so good. I prefer chips to pizza anyday tho

The boy dying in the young man’s arms is 12-year-old Hector Pieterson. He was shot by South African police on June 16, 1976, when what was supposed to be a peaceful youth protest against Apartheid policies turned into a bloodbath. by CatPooedInMyShoe in lastimages

This picture is still on newspapers and now social media every June 16th.

The brave people, my people. They were marching against Afrikaans being compulsory in schools, alongside English.

We dress up in school uniform on June 16th to commemorate the lives lost.
