ex-Souf Efriken vents..... it's true!

An old friend, and sometimes visitor to this blog, Solomonster, posted a very interesting view of life in Souf Efrika, as seen from the point of view of someone who emigrated from here 18 months ago.
I have copied (sans permission) and pasted it here for everyone else to read, as some of you may not read the comments posted, and others might be new to the site, and might not want to read the old stuff. However, this comment deserves front page, as it closely describes what is going on in our country, and also how ex-Souf Efrikans percieve life to be like here.
Thanx mate, hope you dont mind the plagiarism:-

Ehhhh - the peeano - I em sure only the whyte keys wehk coz the bleck wahns nevva wehk!
Ridiculous. People starving in the streets, and they waste money on that.
As for the...er...achievements in the last ten years, let's reflect:
- 1 in 3 people HIV positive: entire health system at risk of collapse due to burden of AIDS-related illness. Health minister curing AIDS with Beetroot and claiming aliens are manipulating other governments (would explain Dubya’s warmongering but I’d rather not go there…)
- Cape Town & Johannesburg vying for first & second place as "Murder Capital of the World" along with places like Caracas and Lagos
- White females have a one in two chance of being raped - for me with a wife and two daughters, statistically our family stands a good chance of having to go through that.
- Basic infrastructure breaking down: not enough police vehicles to respond to rampant crime, fire trucks without fuel, etc.
- Crime levels so bad the government place a moratorium on the publishing of crime statistics (let's hear it for a free press) because they know that if the people knew what was going on, they would probably revolt
- Residents living behind 8' walls with electric fencing, rabid dogs, burglar bars, armed response contracted companies monitoring home security systems
- Driving a BMW or Mercedes is taking your life into your own hands, making you a carjacking target
- 6-month old and younger babies being raped by men in the belief that it will cure them of HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases
- 2% of the working population pay tax – the rest are either shirking this responsibility or are not earning income
- Government clamping down on Gun licenses like crazy – yet for $40 you can rent an AK-47 Assault rifle from your nearest convenience shack in a township. Heck, they’ll even throw in the first 40-round Magazine free if you take it for two Bank robberies or more. How many banks are robbed with a licensed firearm in South Africa? Wake up guys....
- Corruption going all the way to the top, the Deputy President (now ex) up for bribery and rape, the former no doubt as a scapegoat to stop the investigation being taken one rung higher to the State President.
- Exactly what is happening to this Blog owner: Skilled people who are top performers are sidelined to make room for incompetents based on skin colour – calling it “Affirmative Action” to redress “Past Incongruities” means the few skilled people holding the economy together will get the shits and leave.
The previously disenfranchised masses are slowly coming to the conclusion that with D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y comes R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y. They were promised heaven and earth pre 1994 elections, expecting all the wealth to somehow be siphoned off the whities and given to them. You have equal rights now, which includes the right to pay for your electricity and water just like the oppressive whities.
In summary, South Africa had the "Haves" and the "Have Nots". Now the "Haves" are either "Have mores" or are "Have left" (me) and the "Have Nots" are "Have less" – it’ll just take them a while to figure out they’ve been hoodwinked. Perhaps another “African Election” is pending.
Congratulations, Mbeki. Time to dust off the fiddle, Rome is smoldering.
Written from my home office in Brisbane where I can go for a walk in the streets or along the beachfront with my wife after sunset without my Glock 9mm.
Thanks for the vent.
