Crime in SA getting out of hand
Is it me or is crime in SA getting a little out of hand, I know its always been bad its just that it seems to be getting worse by the day. I am very proud of being a south african, but its hard to stay positive when crime is increasingly getting closer to home.
What brings you to this realization? (In your life)
In the space of a month my dad's car got stolen, my neighbors got burgled and a car was hi-jacked not more that 100m away from my house.Originally Posted by MrG
Crime, Lack of decent education system, zero opportunities all reason I have less that 20 days left in this country.
Where you going? Plus what steps have you taken to leave? (Planning period etc) You a citizen of another country?
UK. I chose to marry someone who's bloodlines haven't been tainted by spending a few generations here at the asshole of the world. My wife is first generation European, I am second generation European. Going Home.
Been planning the Exodus since I got back in 06. Been planning it with my wife since before we got married. Prep is mostly just saving and getting all the paperwork in place.
Maybe it's just that lately it's been closer to us but I do think there's been an increase lately. Friend of mine got robbed and a week later (this past Friday) another friend of mine was shot in a mugging.
Couscous; the food so nice they named it twice
It's really sad. Someone broke into our neighbor's wendy house sunday morning.
People get shot for a 50c. The beggers at malls and fast food joints are just starting to tickle my temper.
One day when someone tries to harm my family, I will unleash the beast. But nothing will happen to the person harming us. I will be going to jail. It's just how corrupt this country has become.
That's so true, someone breaks into your home, tries to harm your family, you protect your family, the intruder sues you for assault on your property.
How much is this costing you?
I'm also looking at following this route withing 5 years, but haven't really started anything yet.
I've got a buddy of mine who immigrated, cost him about R50000 for all the permits and paperwork and all that other nonsense. That's a bit steep, but then again he isn't 2nd generation European, which I am as well.
