What makes me :hatred: is that these morons who have run a once prosperous country into the ground with their corruption, greed and general apathy towards the public now say "there is no evidence" that they sold arms to Putin. Yeah right. :tongueout:
All this and now a mumps outbreak too :buggedout: :buggedout:

The South African government is a communicable disease in itself.

Indeed: when Bill Clinton visited here, Nelson Mandela told him that the SA government would not turn their backs on Russia or Cuba due to their support in the apartheid years.
I have noticed the deeper one looks into the life of Mandela, the less admirable he comes across, and frankly I am not sure he deserves his iconic standing. I also know no one is all good or all bad, and I don't doubt there are instances when he did good things.
This is the mall closest to me and the one I go to the most. :buggedout:

Trevor, by complete coincidence, I've been listening to two albums from S.A. jazz musicians this week (Bokani Dyer, Mthunzi Mvubu). So your cultural scene is thriving, at least.
Elements of your country's present might be my country's future, Trevor.

F you, ANC government: you couldn't set up a orgy in a whorehouse.
Not to mention you have to do Christmas in 100 degrees weather.

Exactly.
The world's most unfunniest comedian IMO is paid almost $2 million to promote South Africa, his birth country,
That is ZAR33 million of taxpayers' money, even though they say it isn't.

The South African government has now taken Israel to the International Court of Justice because of the Gaza situation. Umm.... what about all the issues here at home, you bunch of hypocritical, corrupt morons?
Wild Earth keeps interrupting its live safaris with commercials. One second I'll be focusing on a leopard crouching ready to spring at a baboon, the next I'm seeing an ad with those unspeakably awful blue Charmin bears jawing about how much they love toilet paper. Considering the broadcast originates in South Africa, this seems a good place to gripe about that.
