Anyone else been to South Africa or is anyone on here from South Africa?

I just got back from a 2 and a half week trip there and I can say with certainity it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Snowing mountain tops, animal parks, warm beachs, deserts and forests all short drives from each other. It is nothing like what you hear and the few bad things you hear in the news are very very minor in the grand scheme of things.

Feel free to check out my montage http://youtube.com/watch?v=81sK_VBGSNM&feature=channel_video_title

Any thoughts or comments on South Africa?

Well I can say that it is in the south and also in Africa. So that's something I would guess.

I dunno.. Canada has a very large south african immigrant population base, and it doesn't sound like a place i'd like to live.

It's the only country in the world that developed a capacity to build nuclear weapons, only to dismantle that capacity willingly.

What an imbecile F. W. de Klerk was. :(

If you knew anything you would know that blacks hold all the power there now, apartheid has almost reversed. You cant legally get a goverment job if youre white. Also 80-90% of the tax revenue that comes in is from white workers. Whites meanwhile make up 4M out of the 50M population of South Africa. If youre white the government can also legally confiscate your property and not pay you a cent for it. I dont like how whites are treated there.

I live in SA its a very beautiful country but it has some serious problems, its essentially two countries one very first world and the second very impoverished, most people ( tourists) only get to see the nice side first world side.
