South Africa could be the greatest

Coulda sworn I commented already… Here’re mine.

“I live here, I love here”.

Perhaps not exactly what you were looking for.

6 words? there is no place like home.

It is easy for me to talk living somewhere else, but despite the issues in South Africa, there is no place like it anywhere else in the world. I will be back one day.

@Grey “And to all the people who say they will “fight” for their country, ermm how do you propose to do that, all you do is go to work and pay taxes which are used on stupid social grants and to line politicians pockets. ”

Being a law abiding, positive citizen IS fighting for your country. Speaking positively rather than spreading fear and negativity is fighting for your country.
My taxes also pay for great street maintenance, great park management, a whole bunch of services for the poor, etc etc etc. Are there crooks in government? Sure – but that’s a problem with politics, not specific to SA SADLY!!

Anyway, at least we aren’t living in constant fear of terrorist attacks. The irony is that that fear from an EXTERNAL evil has united americans and taken their patriotism to new heights.

Right now we have an opportunity to respond in one of two ways – give up, give in, slander the country, expect the worst, contribute to the worst OR stand up, fight for the good, reclaim the nation.

it is naive to believe the grass is greener elsewhere.
Yes we have problems – some massive ones in fact – but that does not, should not, can not define us. In my EVERY DAY life I am surrounded by the exquisite beauty of the Cape, the vibrancy and generosity and love of her people and the vibe that is SA.
Malema can not rob us of that. Criminals can not rob us of that. (have I been a victim of crime? too often – just ask outsurance!!) but the overwhelming, overriding spirit of this place is still GOOD.
Perhaps if the media used their heads a bit and ignored malema (instead of “creating” him – he is, after all, pretty much nothing without them) our country would be in a better place.
Wise up journos. You are being used as pawns.

Meanwhile, the rest of us can be what we want South Africa to be: non-racial, alive, inspired.

Grey. But that previous freedom came at the cost of millions of non-white South Africans. I would still choose the way South Africa is over Apartheid, with it’s police state and tanks in the townships. Would you prefer the police state days?

Sadly I am not a proud South African and I agree with Guy. I would love to add six positive words but at the mo, I only have negative ones. I suppose if I’d not experienced all the break-ins, threatening of my child and the wonderful experience of the bridge rock throwing, I’d feel different but I unfortunately don’t.
