World Cup 2010

South Africa violence and crime?

What are you opinions about the current situation in South Africa? Do you think that the FIFA World Cup 2010 should be held in South Africa and is a good idea? What do you think happen when Mandela dies? Who do you think will be the next president? What is like South Africa be in 10-20 years? Like Zimbabwe? Are you a South African living abroad? Would you ever consider back? South Africa is in a better or worse position since apartheid ended?

With all this World Cup hype a lot of pressure inadvertantly government be asked to address the issue with the way already out Control crime. Whether the strengthening of the police officers by an additional 30 000 (or is it 15 now 000 – as indicated by Selebi) will make a difference and I am not sure how the police support already short standard equipment, vehicles, and an efficient and honest judiciary, this. And this money will ever get it people really need? We have been in the papers how the money is filtered "seen" from the planning to the stage of conclusion. And who is to be had to compulsory The base of the financial deficits, after all have their piece of cake? The taxpayers? Many South Africans in the tourism industry have to earn a culture of money, which in Danger to others, and this money is usually started from unsuspecting tourists who were not adequately informed about the dangers of touring in South Africa. I do not feel that they are equal to the actions of the responsible persons – Government and tourism industry. Tourists should be warned of the visit of the dangers of South Africa and then should be able to refrain or the planning, taking appropriate measures to protect themselves during their stay, if not, I think it could go off to South Africa and to the rear of the economy (all markets are generally governed by the confidence of investors). When Mandela dies a few government People in the present feel that they are away with a little more, but if you look at the track record of the existing ministers, they already get away with quite a lot! I do not think This Uhuru "or" Night of Long Knives "as some are predicting dies after Mandela. I think it is the rantings of an extremist group of minorities such as you find in many countries around the world. Europeans assets and education are far too important to the ANC, they know where their bread. Zuma is butter is quite confident that he become president, the next – he has the full support of the ANCYL, and already recognized, he is very popular with the Communist Party and COSATU, and not to forget, even though he removed as Deputy President of South Africa Thabo he has retained his post as vice president of the ANC because of its strong support base there. I think he wants as many Europeans remain in SA as possible that he nor the pie to ensure its disk. However, would I do not trust this man has nothing to say (see: his meeting with Steve Hofmeyer and words that Afrikaans) – he has been in enough criminal acts involved, which with rape, Fraud and corruption and tax evasion now? I think that was the 1994 Zimbabwe, where SA are now, where the majority of Europeans were still there and land reforms were still be carried out. The Europeans were still in possession of most of the economy and country. But I think that it takes a little longer for South Africa Deteriorate because of the extensive infrastructure and commercial facilities already exist. So perhaps two decades before the crime, corruption and land reform has begun to paralyze the country. (As you know Africans are mostly small-scale farmers and non-commercial farmers.) This can not be, hear what you want but I'm just trying to send you my honest opinion. I am a South African living in south-east Spain Italy with my wife. You can not a price tag on the fact that we go outside to walk any time of day or night with peace of mind. We never think about serious crimes and rarely hear about it, we live again in a healthy, normal Society. Of course, all their problems, and we had to adapt our system to create a new culture, language, and, but it's nice, far from any debt — (out of His former beneficiary "), the punishment (for his earlier" beneficiary "- AA and BEE), crime and destructive policy, — it really is much healthier for the body and soul. Most of my family are still in South Africa, but I see myself not return, unless we sacrificed so much have, it would mean we have everything for nothing and also a life without all the above things much sweeter. It is good to refocus on the future and more energy in Africa have focused on the important things in life. Life in the South essentially freer for everyone, but better for the very few in politics Black and 'business as is the case with all African countries. Hope this helps, otherwise you'll find many more if you are an advanced search on "South Africa", Most of the questions that were asked to answer Forum, which earlier on. There are many of us South Africans here and chat away the "solution to the problems of the world. Cheers
