RE: Weekend-Engagement - My favorite weekend getaway on the planet, Australia / My country South Africa

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago (edited)

You are so right @dswigle Africa is a very dangerous place, only thing is once you have it in your blood it's a difficult thing to get out of. We are hoping for a new clean government after the elections, but they are so corrupt and rig the votes, also the uneducated and poverty ridden people get bribed with a T- shirt and a bag of mielie meal to vote for them, then are left to their own demise, it's so sad, with all that, we have such a beautiful country, thank you so much for stopping by.

Sort:  

There has been big talk of the last few elections being rigged here and the vast poverty of the immigrants they allowed in with no way to support themselves have been their ace in the hole. Nothing buys votes like poverty that is fed small things for big votes. :(

It is disgusting to watch this happening here.

Absolutely agree, the same thing happened here, if it is allowed it will only get worse unfortunately. Sadly, it's the children that suffer, our country has deteriorated so much in the 25 years the ANC has been in power, and we have China doing stuff in the dark too. We need a good clean up world wide I think. We just don't go out at night. When I went to Australia, my daughter kept on telling me to relax , i'm not in Africa, Lol! One builds a sort of inbuilt self protection , I don't even know how to explain it.
I loved Australia, I felt safe and free there. Thanks @dswigle for the chat. Go well and be safe.
