  1. Don’t know whether I should laugh or cry when I hear a racist complaining about racism. Wish they would admit that all race groups are being negatively affected by the high crime rate and that we as a nation should be protesting against it. They complain about the white murders being kept quiet but fail to see that >40 murders a day are not being reported. It’s not because of racism but because murders have become so common place that it’s just not newsworthy anymore.

    • A well thought out comment cricketlover, thank you.

      South Africans have become like the dog that runs after the bus – when the dog catches it he doesn’t know what to do with it!

      i.e. We had the rainbow nation handed to us on a plate and, not knowing what to do with it, we proceeded to savage it.
