[we are getting way off topic here, so this will be my last public reply in this regard. We can always continue this in private.] Apartheid is still very strong in South Africa. If fact, things have gotten worse since 1994. Back then we had apartheid, but the country was functioning well. Now we still have apartheid (though they call it something else now) but in reverse, with a total non-functioning country, serious crime (lots of murders per day) and blatant corruption. I'm no racist. I don't judge anybody over the color of their skin - and I'm proud of that fact. Currently in SA, the color of your skin still matters - in every facet of South Africans lives. I don't know what foreign countries hear about South Africa, but I can only guess. It is so bad, they even enforce racism in school sports (something that should be judged on merit, not color of your skin). Try and explain to a white, coloured or asian grade 6 pupil why they didn't make the first team rubgy/hockey/etc - because a 60/40 ratio must be applied. This happened to my sister's kids, which are sport fanatics. You can be black and totally suck at the sport, but you WILL make the first team, just to fill the 60(black)/40(white/other) quota! What does that teach the new generation of kids born after 1994 when apartheid was supposed to be abolished? Then our ruling party (the ANC which has 65% votes) steal blindly from the poor (actually everybody), because the poor are just too uneducated to know better, and the other minorities can't do anything about it. Our president, Jaboc Zuma, will spend 280 million rand on a single flight to USA, 900 million on hotel stays - but then says there is no money to fix our roads and basic council services. Then we also have the ANC Youth League (god only knows which youth they are supposed to represent) which still sing songs in public like "Kill the Farmer", and yes hundreds of farmers are killed every year - but the government does nothing about that either. Then we have the ANC supporters which aren't happy with school or transport services, so they burn down the schools and public transport. Oh but now they have nothing, and somehow think that is better than it was before. Go figure!! I simply didn't want my kid to grow up with such rubbish. So we moved (while we still can) to a country which gives equal opportunity to all. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
