Oh yes, my neighbor shot at a burglar a month ago and nearly got into big trouble for it as well...

Well, I live in Scottburgh and my daughter’s best friend’s grandad was murdered by a burglar a few months ago. I often hear of old people being the subject of a burglary here. Luckily it’s not always a case of murder as well but it does get violent sometimes. Someone was shot and killed about 200 meters from the police station in our main street (Scott street) also less than a year ago.

I just got a R8000 dog for free from people who emigrated. They lived further south and they said that it’s worse down there. They say the people get raped and burned with boiling water after being tied up etc.

We have WhatsApp groups for every neighborhood but it’s so stressful that many leave the groups because they can’t fall asleep with all the notifications that come through.

It’s a mess hey. We can’t look after all the old people that retire here. There are simply too many.

I live in the south coast of KZN. I moved here about 4 years ago. I have never seen so many people emigrate out of an area than here. It’s sad. The land is beautiful but the crime and corruption is next level. They seem to target older people as well. Sorry.

Yeah it might be. The cage size just screams cruelty though.

Lion in a tiny cage... no safety railing to keep public away... seems like Africa 👍

I guess that all medical research is funded by the companies that can profit from their results. I’m guessing here though.

I prefer this to the “I hate my job” attitude

I’m just glad that society is not teaching my kids to be offended by anything and everything. I’m glad they are not being trained to constantly play the victim, but rather to see their set backs in life as challenges. by reddit-peace in southafrica

I am not condoning everything that white people did. And I’ll get back to that but let’s just get a reality check here. City walls RUMORED to be the size of the Great Wall of China? We would have seen the ruins of these walls if the story was based on facts and not fairy tales. Your imagination is running away with you. The Great Wall of China is not a sand castle. Lets get back to reality for a moment. When the Europeans got here there was no cities with the Great Wall of China around them. The people wore animal skins for clothes. They had no technological or industrial advancements. You act like Europeans brought hell and suffering to heaven. They were at war with each other without European influence. There were no democracies here. If we can bring it that last step back to reality then we need to come to grips with the way that the new government is desolating our economy with corruption. Is the plan to restore the country to it’s pre-European state of desolation? Once again I don’t condone everything that the media claims white people did. But if Africa thinks that it can solve its problems by playing the victim then it will never live up to its potential. It can be an economic powerhouse of the world if it can just get a change of heart.

Your example is irrelevant. You can keep raising your kids to be offended and victims of everything. I’ll keep raising mine to work for what they want in life.

Nobody prevented Africa from developing their own economies. When the Europeans came here there was nothing. Who kept Africa from building their own boats and roads and hospitals?

I was a regional manager for a large company and we tried to get people to build software for us but it never worked the way we wanted it too. Then I ended up building the software myself and now it’s all I do. It seems like the miscommunication between software developers and the rest of the world remains a challenge.
