See how the urban murder rates collected in the mortuaries correspond very similarly to the police statistics.

Interpol get their data from the SAPS and include attempted murders in the total, while the MRC and NIMSS are in agreement with the official murder figures.

[The statistics I provided were gleaned from a few, credible sources, all of which were in general agreement. Note that even if the official figures—which were the ones I went with, by the way—are correct, this still makes SA the most violent country outside a war zone. The official stats are horrendous. I then fortified the case with the experience of a typical, middle-class family, living in the well-to-do suburbs. What you bring to the table are nothing but ASSERTIONS; no sourcing, and no links to credible sources. You also shed darkness with your acronyms. No ones knows what they mean. There are some links to the BBC, which lauds savagery in all forms, in my column about Oprah’s Academy. Follow them to get a glimpse about rape in SA.—ILANA]

Long live the ANC. We will take from white cockaroaches…. It is our right…

😀

Being a native, born and bred South African, raised in Kingdom of Kwa Zulu Natal and in the Cape these last 17 years since communism was suposed to have collapsed in 1989, having lived in the past apartheid regime and the new regime the only tangible benefit to blacks and non whites is freedom of expression, movement and freedom of speech. This does not put food on the table or money in the bank .

What a lot of the white brothers and sisters above are not saying is that there is a constitution – which mysteriously only applies to non whites . Take employment – central to any successful family and economy. Today, SA companies bend over backwards to employ blacks only – but the constitution says there shall be no discrimination – surely a contradiction here !! The main criterion for employment is suitability, experience and enthusiasm for the type of work.

What SA lacks is politics of principle and politicians of principle – it’s not about lining your pockets till the ship of state collapses then engaging in a civil war for the remaining spoils, or a sense of entitlement to the trappings and wealth of a rock star. Those protagonists are precisely the communists thast Frans above fought against who he correctly asserts are in power today.

Todays ANC politicians in RSA are “career or cheque book” politicians with no thought of what comes after them. Their only thought is payday – not what they are supposed to do to have earned that pay.

There is an astounding culture of dishonesty which is growing in numbers by the hour. This cannot be good – especially since we rely heavily on foreign investment. Investors want a return and bottomless pits do not feature in investors plans.

Hitherto the ANC government, walking the streets, going to the parks or shops or just driving your car was a safe and pleasant occasion. You cannot do that today . Black, white or any member of the human race. I agree with a post above that forced mixing of cultures, religions etc. may well be a recipe for disaster, but would that not explain how prior to 1976 , there was relative calm and far lower unemployment in this country?

At least black brothers who left the hostels in Glebe(Umlazi) and Kwa Mashu in those days had a much better chance of arriving home at night to feed their offspring! Same with indians, coloureds and whites – when they left for work in the morning – the chances of returning home at night were excellent.

Sorry my friends, this ANC government has been hijacked by communists and incompetent wannabe rock stars. If this tendency is not arrested and turned around by voting for principled politicians in 2009 – Thabo Mbeki will go down in history as just another black african leader who caused a thriving economy and the best developed infrastructure on the continent, to disappear like the morning mist in the rising African sun.

[A superb post. We hope you become a regular on this humble (but humming) forum. How about running for office in SA?–ILANA]

Well anyway Frans, welcome to you and your family in your new home. I hope it continues to work out well.

I’m not even mentioning the poor elderly people murdered daily and the farmers far away from anything. Please help me giving me words of comfort to come to terms with this murderous country I once loved with passion. I promise myself day after day not to read newspapers in SA on the Internet but time after time find myself reading them only to become so depressed with what I read about a country I once offered to defend with my own life on the borders–I defended it from the same people who are running the government at present.

What has happened to our world? It’s Christmas and we should all be joyful and happy, but I find it difficult to comprehend. Make no mistake; I’m glad I’m not there anymore, and I take huge comfort in the fact that despite not having all the money in the world, I took my last pennies, packed up, left with my wonderful wife and wonderful two children (now young adults who are doing extremely well in their careers) to offer them a new, better, brighter future in a strange country we now call home which was not an easy thing to do. We cried together many times. The emotional impact was huge and especially with Christmas it becomes even harder as we do not have any family in our new country. We moved 11 years ago. I’m so angry about all this that if it was in my power to do I would have taken the Soccer World Cup hosting rights away from South Africa as a measure to show the present government enough is enough.

Looking back at the international isolation imposed on the “Old” South Africa due to a certain and unacceptable political system, and comparing this what is going on today–then today is worse than the past by light years and the world just does not care. This makes me believe that Africa is doomed–certainly for its white population.

The other sad part is that when the remaining whites and their Zulu allies try to stand and defend themself, the West will most likley step in and help the ANC kill us off.

Thank Reagan for stabbing us in the back and Jimmy Carter for destroying Zimbabwe and creating one of the most evil dictators in history. We really can’t afford to wait to see how the US goverment “helps” us out next.
