[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 866914, member: 39190"] Cape Town is a paradise. At least the good parts. Of which there are plenty mind you. TBF to Steve Hofmeyr he isn't talking about the better urban parts of SA. Everything he talks about is interior rural SA. Two hugely different worlds. My father's uncle is a cow farmer (he'll tell you he farms with grass the cows take care of themselves) and I was shocked when visiting. He has a reinforced concrete deck above the ceiling not acting as the roof, merely for saftey, 5 camps you go through to get to the house, What really got me was they have thick steel burglarproofing concave and very narrow so that handgrenades can't get passed. Worst is they have been attacked three times. Automatic weapons, handgreandes, IE heavily armed, organized and planned attacks. This is Northern Free State. My father's cousin was attacked in his home by 9 men armed with axes and pangas. He flattened 4 (was a boxer and still hard AF) getting to his car. He had a cracked skull from being thrown with a brick, plenty of lacerations and deep cuts yet he was arrested for assault on the attackers he punched lights out and had to pay each R9000 or 2 years in jail. He just paid and wanted to get the thing over and done with. That is the SA Steve is talking about. As much as we defend SA, there are two very different SAs. [/QUOTE]
