Watch: SABC journalist mugged on live TV

Just a typical day in Africa! It's the norm in South Africa!
 
What will the SABC do now going forward to protect their journalist. That was a bad intersection where they were standing... hopefully now the police will hunt for these thugs..
 
Not surprised gotten so numb to these things as they happen so often these days.

Glad all the SABC crew was safe and the journalist
 
He was not complaining, just making a statement.

Stop being a drama queen.
You think I am being a drama queen?

You obviously do not often read Seriously's posts. Apart from a record number of exclamation marks (oh, the drama!) the next most obvious thing about them is the constant negativity about South Africa (And thinly veiled racism)

If he hates the country that much... There are plenty of others to emigrate to.

To be honest, I cant blame him. It's time to face the facts. This place is going downhill fast. He might be negative, but probably because he cares about the country and is concerned about the future. He may have also been affected by crime, unemployment, etc. We dont know his . Not everyone has the luxury to just pack up and leave.

Give the guy a break.
 
I never expected such to happen to a news reporter :D Those muggers have guts... to mug someone while the camera is still rolling.

Scrolling down the YouTube comments was a big mistake - such ratchet comments everywhere :(

I'm not going to "give the guy a break".

Firstly: anyone with any meaningful skills or resourcefulness can pack up and leave. If they choose to stay (or feel they do not have the skills or resourcefulness to manage to leave) then they should STFU and deal with it.

I come from Zimbabwe. While I am no expert on collapsing economies, I have more experience than most of you. In Zim I have a few friends. They are living well, having realised that with the right attitude and some hard work, it is very possible to live a good, happy life in a ****hole. You don't see them complaining every day online about everything ZANU(PF) does - no, they see the possibilities and exploit them.

In South Africa, the similar opportunities exist. All it takes is the right attitude and hard work. You can live very well in this country if you can manage that.

But if you can't manage that - and all you can do is complain about the "cancer", then you are as bad as the people you condone for wanting everythng handed to them on a plate.

Bitching about your lot in life is not going to change anything. Only Seriously can change his life, and it seems he is unwilling to even try, preferring to deflect the blame for his misery onto the failures of the country.

You kidding right? So if I don't like the crime here I must leave. Your idea of 'if you don't like it leave' is BS. How about, reduce crime. The 'right attitude', whats that when you get mugged of highjacked? Smile and tell them to have a good day? FFS, why must people leave their lives behind because a bunch of criminal thugs get away with it as the majority of police force are incompetent and even when caught they aren't brought to book due to a failing justice system. That is governments fault, regardless of party in power. But you just think everyone who has a problem with the non-operational security should just leave. How about NO.

You want to stay here, but you think there are problems? Then change the country for the better. Do something.

Bitching on MyBB is going to achieve nothing, except to drag yourself down into a spiral of negativity.

You don't like it? Leave.

You don't want to leave? Make it better. Simple.
 
Why are we discussing this issue over several thread ... something is wrong in the country.../forum...

LOL you guys ruined your own country then simply jumped ship onto our boat when the brown stuff hit the fan.

That's a luxury we don't have.

Can't think of a better person NOT to take any advice from, unless of course you think we share your dream of being dead last in everything despite coming from fairly high standards.

So please don't lecture us when your own country is in such a mess. Why don't you go home & fix your own ****hole before you ruin ours with your ignorance as well?

#NoXenophobia of course
