""" There are over 25,000 murders every year in South Africa, a rape occurs every minute and break-ins are a fact of life in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and other urban areas of a country where the contrast between the "haves" and "have nots" is terrifying."""

We briefly discussed the sad situation in S.A., but reading this stuff is pretty scary. And, I can understand the fear and frustration of many of your countrymen who are powerless to effect any positive change. It again begs the question about the strong Rand. In my opinion, I wouldn't invest a penny there, regardless of the interest rate.

Rapes happen everywhere I know, this one happens to have been in South Africa.

The future for Whites in South Africa seem utterly bleak to me.
