It is not so much myself that I'm thinking about as my two lovely daughters and their children that I'm thinking of when thinking of leaving the country. Maybe I am just willing to suffer a bit on my luxury lifestyle and be able to offer them a descent living one day.
Second option will be to stay here and sell stones for ammo if I need to, but to send some money out of the country and either invest over seas or even buy some euros and put them under your pillow as the R is not growing as fast in value as the euro on this stage.
Just aother question to all you positive oke’s out there,
It is a fact that people is getting more, resources and land is getting less and less.
What do you think will happen if people is been put in a situation were every one have to start looking at a future for himself, his family and then his ethnic group? Exactly the same as what is happening with the foreigners in our country now or the farmers in Zim. The police can barely handle the situation now not to talk about a government that believe if they turn a blind eye and not admitting there is a problem, it will go away.
What do you think will happen when the people with all eleven official languages in this country is been put in a situation where they start turning on each other for survival and resources and who will you trust to defend your loved ones and will they then be able to save the day if they cant even defend the few foreigners in the country. And if it happens within a short time like over night or even two weeks, who will be able to mobilize and defend them selves or get someone to defend them selves. It might not happen in my live time, but what about in my children or grand children’s lives.
Now if you look at the news and think logically about the facts am I been pessimistic or just realistic..........
There is a very fine line between been pessimistic or realistic as is there a very fine line between been positive and living in denial, ask our government. Maybe if we also blame a mysteries third force when we screw up instead of admitting and correcting our mistakes, we might also get away with an excuse for now.
Coat, hat, door..................
I have two daughters and that is my main reason for going. Luckily I don`t have too many close friends or extended family so that bit is sorted. The finances will never change and as someone has said our wallets gets used to all the bumps etc. Everything that this country can chuck in my direction I can take.
Why a man came and hurt her although she had nothing to do with apartheid etc. I cant. I realize there is crime wherever you go but at least there is also justice in most other countries. I will be back, but only when my kids are old enough to make their own lives and decisions. 12 years is a very short time and in 12 years both will be old enough to do that, every year I stay in this country is one year of the twelve, but hey I haven't left yet have I
