well, i'm guessing that you don't know what's happening in Zim at the moment...unfortunitly my complection doesn't complement the current ruling parties priciples. things got pretty dangerous as well and thought that it would be best to move as far away as possible.
Actually I know exactly what's happening in Zim. But I didn't think you'd go "as far away as possible" - Come here - it's so lovely here...
My friend's grandparents are still living there - but they're in an old age home. They grow their own vegetables etc. For now, they're ok.
Headline in the Citizen paper today (Jhb): "Land grab starts". Farmer wants R3.5m and not the R1.7m that government is offering. So they (gov) have taken steps to expropriate the land. And he originally bought it at market value (not inherited).
It makes me feel afraid - I hope what happened in Zim doesn't happen here.
