Calling all South Africans abroad
Ironic how some people view themselves as political activists or supposed role models for the young,someone that encourages mass genocide and praises someone for murdering,starving and torturing his people for the sake of staying in power and not being overthrown.It is quite frightening how the youth look up to such dictators and how they view them as activists who stand up righteous and brave against oppressive regimes?How naive and stupid.
Many years later and many generations later and people are still going on about how certain cultural groups in South Africa were mistreated and denied their rights,all cultural groups suffered during Apartheid years not just one group in particular as the casualties were severe.
The black population is the predominant group in SA outnumbering all other ethnic groups 100 - 1,yet being the majority group in the country you would think that they would abandon dictators and strive for diplomacy and equality sadly enough after President Mandela retired all those bright ideas were shot to hell by the likes of Zuma,Mbeki and now Julius Malema.
Malema publicly stated that and I quote "Kill the boers",this idiot claims he is a savior and millions of his people believe him?I might not be in my country anymore but this truly gets scarier by the day since 98% of my family members are still there and murder rates in the country are at a record high.
How many people have to be wiped out by racists political dictators before they realize that revenge won't justify nor fix what happened during the apartheid years.
I welcome any of my fellow South Africans abroad to post their comments on this matter.

it's time to get the hell out off there.
I was also aware that when Mandela grabbed power that things were going to change.
I just wasn't aware of how far the wheels in motion had gone. It doesn't sound good.
Because of fears of safety whites are leaving S Africa, there is a concern that the current economic system in jeapardy.
From Newsweek:
Some 800,000 out of a total white population of 4 million have left since 1995, by one count. But they're hardly alone. Blacks, coloreds (as people of mixed race are known in South Africa) and Indians are also expressing the desire to leave. In the last 12 years, the number of blacks graduating in South Africa with advanced degrees has grown from 361,000 to 1.4 million a year. But in that time the number of those expressing high hopes to emigrate has doubled.
This wasn't supposed to happen. In many ways, the new South Africa has lived up to its promise of racial harmony and equitable development; its enlightened Constitution, progressive economic policies, and wealth of human and natural resources have all kept it relatively stable since apartheid was swept away in 1994. But that stability could be jeopardized if its human capital keeps leaving at the current rate.
