Not to mention you have to do Christmas in 100 degrees weather.

Sunny skies, braais etc are great here 😊😊

She may as well get with the times and blame colonialism. It would get more international attention.

Believe it or not, our useless gubbermint has blamed a lot on colonialism. The ANC will never admit its mistakes, ever 🙄🙄

Cashing in on the lingering positive international cachet of being a liberation movement. Their main asset.

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.
