Why not emmigrate instead of moaning and being just negative?

Obviously I will follow the news here, I have family here and believe it or not I care about what happens here.

Actually I AM going but I dont need to justify it to you or anyone else for that matter. ;)
I was and still would like to buy a business. Is that a crime? Have you ever heard of a business owner living abroad? :rolleyes:
As I stated, if you bothered to read, my skills assessment was approved 2 days ago.
Something that was expected to take months.

I don't really follow your goings here,so no,i didn't know.

Thanks for letting me know.That's good news,congrats...its good news for me too.:)

Like lion_fish? Still bitchin' and moanin' from abroad? :D

Very seldom though.
Well I agree, if you leave, you must try and forget about this place, it is the reason you left in the fist place.

Have you ever lived abroad for a long period of time?

As pointed out, not everyone can leave. It's not like there are that many options available, countries aren't exactly lining up to accept new citizens. So what's left to do? Just shutup and take it in the bum. Sly21c, you are the spirit of South Africa. Don't make waves, and just hope everything gets better by itself. That's worked out great so far.

This topic has been discussed over and over again. I'm planning to stay, it's my country too. If I don't like something, I have the RIGHT to voice my opinion. If you deem it negetive, well I don't give a ****.

To those that think I should move, here's my question to you. If you think these posts are negetive, why don't YOU go read other forums.

As an SA passport holder, ratepayer, taxpayer, and employer I am entitled to highlight crime, corruption, mismanagement and non-delivery . . . in fact I would go so far as to say it is my duty to do so.

These aren't soft issues. They're life and death and social stability matters. If the citizens of SA are bullied or brow beaten into keeping quiet (or leaving) how will they ever be solved?
