It's a very complicated situation. South Africa is in a difficult scenario and there should be a real sociaty as Mandela tried to.

The issue with the ANC government is its focus on wealth redistribution, give from the rich to the poor, based an a new reverse racist ethics code. There is zero focus on wealth creation, leading to a whole lotta whites definitely not even being able to do what a lot of Black South Africans keep saying for us to leave. i know tons of Whites who would be too glad to leave the constant threat of rape, murder and armed robbery. The whole situation is a joke.

I think the drinking and smoking is an escape for them in the same way black street kids sniff glue, i work in relief missions with both groups both situation are very sad, however the white population living in poverty receive a lot less state support than the black population in similar circumstances do .

@vtoodler she basically said that she's scared one day that she'll be stabbed to death by someone and that on multiple occasions she's thought of committing suicide (walking in front of a car is what she said to be exact).

@8deSPOOK Seriously Soutpiel ? I can assure you that I would give any man or woman a job to come and work in my garden or in my business- and I have offered jobs to poor white trash standing begging on the street corner - but they have all refused - they would rather beg than do a days work - only 5 metres away from them 3 blacks have already volunteered even said they would do it for half of what I offered the white guy – These lazy shits just want another hand out.

@janboer2007 I'm not an Afrikaner, but you're an embarrassment, to Afrikaners.

Not every one is as smart as your parents. You snooty fucking rockspider, it's not an embarrassment on them but people like you for not taking care of your own people you'll rather employ a kaffir to do menial labour, then your fellow Afrikaner.

That would be too much of an embarrassment, to have an Afrikaner mowing your lawn. Out of sight out of mind, ha ? Leave them to get stabbed at the green dam.

And sleep well
