Whoever the fuck u r to pen this shit bout my country and its people, go the fuck to where u com from…. And if i ever c u useless being again in my country, i will personally moer u back into the whole that gave u life

I don’t like the generalisations about South Africans. Complainers are everywhere. I for one am nothing like what Kay described and none of my friends are. No woman deserves to be raped, not in a million lifetimes!!! Please remember that most South Africans abroad have no place to call home anymore. They left for a reason and this is hard for them. This generation has to deal with this unfortunately.

I am considering leaving simply because I feel unsafe in my home. Just a week ago a guy a few houses away was shot for his cellphone. Not a single member of my family has not fallen victim to crime at some point. Criminals wonder the streets at night looking for security gaps. I was once held at knife point.

I and many like me struggle because its either tear yourself away of continue to live like this. It really is a beautiful country and thats why its so difficult. I am not trying to be negative. I just wish I could live in a safe and sound society. I have lived in England and its crappy. But a choice between crappy and life threatening is not all that hard to make.

I hope with all my heart SA changes for the good. I love this country and will miss it everyday. I might stay… Oh crap, I am back at square 1!

The South African attitude to women is heartbreaking. That the president is a polygamist rapist says it all really.

My husband’s best friend told me women deserve to be raped for going outside on their own at night.
(Yes he speaks to his best friends wife like that - typical South African man.)

The trains are incredibly dangerous, god help you if your car breaks down (especially if you’re a woman at night ‘cause then you know what you deserve).

Whenever I am in South Africa the news is full of child rape stories.

I challenge anyone to spend longer than 5 minutes with a White South African (who lives in South Africa) without the conversation turning to affirmative action and how unfair it is now blacks have rights.

On top of this London (the city of my birth) is full of South Africans complaining about how much they hate London, without the decency to leave, which at least is what the writer of this blog is doing.

All these statements are generalizations of course they don’t apply to every single South African but it does apply to far too many of them.

I also have the same problem as Maikel I have a valid IBAN that I keep being told in invalid, is there a secret to submitting it to be accepted?

Any ideas?
