It is incredibly frustrating, I agree and would love them to do the online check as of the 1st of April. Things certainly are looking bleak around the globe. As I was saying to Boer, my fellow South African, racial tensions are high here.
On Saturday the leader of the AWB (Boere) was murdered on his farm. We have been living well under democracy since 1994 and this is just the kind of thing that can break it down. The ruling party , the ANC, which is predominantly supported by black South Africans, has a Youth League president, Julius Malema, who has been singing "kill the Boer" at rallies. "Boer" is Afrikaans for farmer and basically represents the white Afrikaans community. This is clearly a form pf hate speech and he has been taken to court over it. Now that the leader of the Boers has been murdered, some people feel the need to take up arms.
Me and most people, I think, will avoid the whole issue and try and get on with our lives, but my concern is what racial violence might ensue because of it. I have 3 little girls to think of and I am worried! There is even a Facebook page set up by one of Malema's supporters that posts that white women and children should be raped and murdered!!! I know there is a lot of hype about it and I try to stay positive, but as I say, I think I'm entitled to be concerned.
Thanks for your kind words, Diafa, I hope to be a winner too! Everyone on this forum is so positive and supportive and you prove that no matter what culture or colour, we can work together as a team.
Please pray for my country.
