I have lived in RSA for 10 years and it is the pure grace of God that is keeping me from losing my Mind! Yes it is beautiful - but is beauty really enough? Intense Xenophobia & Racism have made it such that I CANNOT consider living in so many cities in RSA and amongst certain races. I am not welcome to seek paid employment (it is said to be a tacit law). I am not welcome to interact with the people (another law), every day I am invited to depart the RSA and this is communicated by making living here TOTALLY worthless! The very essence of existing (living) has been STRIPPED entirely from my existence - EVERY day I am presented with a NEW problem - VERY basic things! I am now in the process of going back to my home country - without gaining a DAMN thing from my stay in the RSA. I will advice that you look before you leap. If the South Africans don't like you - its gonna be HELL. Don't be fooled by infrastructure - you MUST live among humans, who will care for you as a human being....

I am now in the process of going back to my home country – without gaining a DAMN thing from my stay in the RSA. I will advice that you look before you leap. If the South Africans don’t like you – its gonna be HELL. Don’t be fooled by infrastructure – you MUST live among humans, who will care for you as a human being….
