If somebody is described as 'South African', I assume they're white. It's weird, but do you agree with that? It's strange, since 20 years after that song and Nelson Mandela, we have minimal awarenss of black SA people.

 

BTW - if you haven't already, read Tom Sharpe's slapstick novels about SA (think it was 1960s) - they're very funny and enlightening about the situation there.

 

Riotous Assembly?

 

Sharpe is my favourite writer, should re-read a couple tbf, used to get me through my Postman's nighshifts down the rail station many moons ago.

It's just like a matchday thread, loads of posters who have never lived in South Africa commenting on the country as if it were personal experience.

 

Go on then tell us all you've lived there and tell us all you know it all.;)

I've not lived there, just visited a number of times.

 

At risk of doing an Alpine Saint apprasial of our tactics I'll refrain from posting all I know ;-)

 

I just don't believe it is the violent / soon to be Zim Tinder-box many portray it as.

My in-laws lived in Germaston (sp) near Jo'burg for many years. Nt spoke to him about the politics of SA for a while due to me not being a violent person and him on occasion tested that to the extreme. The language that I an expect to hear when it comes up would make one's skin crawl. Lovely bloke! Hates football, what else can i say about the *******.

 

Incidentally they still have a gun back 'home' held by the local polie for safekeeping. Kept it 'just in case' they ever felt the urge to go back and, (I QUOTE) "shoot some *******" I am so looking forward to the WC, really I am, as I have since learnt to bait him to the point when everyone in stnchronised voices shouts "Dad!! SHUT UP!!!"

Things can soon change. If the government starts supporting land/mine seizures it will result in the whites leaving in their droves. If that ever happens the country will collapse.

Do the farmers really put landmines down for protection? I never knew that, now that IS scary. What would Princess Di have to say about that I wonder.

Agree, but they won't.

 

These are the same fears as when Mandala came into power, then when Mbeki took over and laterly when Mr Zuma assumed control.

 

16 Years on they are still treading the tightrope pretty well, the guys who are really in control (The economics guys behind the scenes) know that they can either keep on the plan of gradual re-distribution of wealth that will result in sustained economic growth of throw the towel in and return to the stone-age like they have done up the road.

 

If it does all go to rat-**** does anyone want to buy my house down there?

I don't share your confidence. This is Sub Saharan Africa we're talking about and nation states will always struggle due to tribalism.

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru

I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Tinbuktu

I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in Nepal

And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall

I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant b***tards

Who hate black people

 

I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait

I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late

I know a public swimming bath where they don't **** in the pool

I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school

I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers

Who smell like baboons

 

I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind

That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind

I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings

I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings

I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths

With no sense of humour - ha ha

 

I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire

At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire

I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies

I met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two willies

I've had a nice pot noodle but I've never had a poodle

And I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

Because we've never met one either

Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris. (farts)

 

Yes he's quite a nice South African

And he's hardly ever killed anyone

And he's not smelly at all.

That's why they put him prison.

 

One of the best Spitting Image moments

Bloody hell, a 250 stong sing song and someone threw a drink at the opposition (she later apologised). To put it into context there was more violence at St Mary's during the last derby.

 

Hardly the explosive civil war people were be expecting. However the markets are ****ting it, the rand lost nearly a whole 0.5% of its value against the pound since the weekend!

:( Africa. Where humanity started. The corruption, greed, immorality. It's saddening beyond all comprehension. God... HA? bless humanity. Vile. Despite our supposed intelligence, humanity is but a mere plague in the history of the universe. Our demise is long overdue.

Dune, you do know how big Sub-Saharan Africa is, don't you? I regularly travel between SA & UK. It takes 11 hours, and after 9 hours you're still flying over Africa, and then 2 hours to cross western Europe.

 

Do you believe that the British nation is doomed to failure because of what is happening in Greece? Or Chechnya or Bosnia?

 

And Chalet hit the nail on the head. This ET thing is a storm in a teacup. You lot on here are getting more het up about it than the average South African.
