Howdy today julianhorack! I knew that there were big problems in Johannesburg but I didn't know that it had gotten to the point of street battles! wow. One of the blogs from a South African used to regularly talk about the situation so I'm been lucky to be able to stay informed.
Alot of people are leaving because they don't see how it can ever improve and that's a shame. Probably the people with money who the country needs most to stay, are leaving. Are you in a fairly stable part of the country?
In regards to my post, I had no idea that it would cause so much controversy! Something I try to avoid. lol. it was an accident.
