A man came into my shop this morning asking for a donation and in conversation he asked me if I had heard about the lady that was killed the other day...in his eyes he seemed to justify the killing as "oh well she was just another rich white lady, so what!"
I was shocked and horrified at the coldness and acceptance of such evil by the average local mindset and afraid for the future of this beautiful country of ours
Always good to see you.
Lets look at this from a different angle...
At least we don't get bored so easily in SA

Don't you fear
I wish! It will be a dream that would come true, for me...
And if I did! I would send it to you. For your country too!
Plus! The shopping & handling fees.
Have a nice weekend Luke.
But! I didn't charge you for it! Nor the shipping fees. Just the shopping fees....
