Also to make the move over smooth, R10 mil would also help from the things they stole. Then I'm gone. R10 mil is not that much considering 25 years of theft.
Japan for me though. I like how people live there. Thats if they are willing to accept me.

Same, I love the culture. Also the fact that 6k pays for internet and food and a nice apartment

Hoërskool Hendrik Verwoerd is no more

The renaming of Hoërskool Hendrik Verwoerd in Pretoria is not about hate, but about the restoration of dignity, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has said at the official unveiling of what is now Rietondale High School.

"We don't hate HF Verwoerd, we don't hate the name of this particular school, we are only here to restore and reclaim our dignity," Lesufi said.

Initially, even the people of the time weren't fond of the flag. Government promised to replace it but never did (maybe they meant the subtle changes of the colour blue).

I have no idea how you see that as orange, I've always seen it as red. Calibrate your screen or have your eyes checked.

My eyes are fine. I do colour blindness and vision tests annually. Also do the more extensive eye test every few years. I use a phone to access MyBB, very seldom anything else.

The problem is that the ANC and it's supporters know that the only card they can really play is the "we were victimized one". Truth is, they are useless at everything. And they know it. If Apartheid never happened....do you honestly think they would be better at anything?

Strugglers have to struggle.
 
Well Im a mid40 yr old white ashole from the old times and I hate the oranje blanje blou for a different reason. Every time I see that flag it reminds me of that old verkrampte government who sold my people and their future generations out in so may ways while they had disney land times and are now rotting in their graves.

So, fukk that flag and its supporters. You are not helping this country at all
