Get used to this. South Africa has gone from the jewel of Africa to a fourth world nation since the 80's. Don't expect tribal beasts to accept Western civilization and make it function. When does "equality" equal wholesale genocide with no publicity from the world. When blacks were not treated equal, the whole world came down on the government. Now when the whole country has decided to cleanse the last remaining group of people that brought it out of the stone age by murder and rape, not a peep. Oh well, just white people, not a crime nowadays. Welcome to a glimpse of America 2030.

I think you are in no position to judge SA until you have sat down over a beer or 2 and talked TO blacks about South Africa..... You will be surprised..
Just as everybody in Iraq is not El-Kaida... only a few blacks are anti-white...(non that I know)...
Do NOT believe the mainstream media... as circulation is money... they do NOT tell you about the blacks helping whites stuck on the side of the road..... they do NOT tell of the whites helping blacks to afford a roof over their heads... they do NOT tell of black and white having a barbecue together....
Sure there is crime... as there is ANYWHERE in the world...
What changed, and changes SA, is the mindset of most of the blacks AND whites in this country. Of course you still get racists in South Africa... just like you do in Australia, Europe and Americas....
One of the most popular singers in South Africa (Steve Hofmeyr) had a barbecue with Zuma, and was in fact surprised at the amount of tolerance and understanding he had for the white and other cultures in South Africa...
Do not judge another until you have walked 5 miles in his shoes....
South Africa IS getting better....
