We have a modern Adolf Hitler in our country and no-one in the world gives a rat's ass.


What is their name? Perhaps this would be an appropriate place to forum such concerns and spread facts.


Julius Malema.

I cannot begin to describe this guy... Millions of followers...FAILED PRIMARY SCHOOL...Openly racist...Threatens the current government...At least I can flee to Europe when the shit goes down. Some people are predicting a civil war.

Come on now Dr. Grass, you exaggerate!! Don't wan't to rain on your parade but if I had a $ for the amount of times South Africans have screamed civil war I would be a damn millionare.

I hate the fella and you give him to much credit for suggesting he can lead anybody to open war. Besides, the ANC Youth League will scatter like bitches if the chips are down!!

Really? Does 'Springbok' mean you live in SA?

Australia: almost 70% of the country is full of Asians...

Gonna have to agree with Springbok360 here our country is no where close to civil war, and im not sure which people you are talking about who are predicting it?

But anyways, some(ok all of it!) of the rhetoric from Julius Malema is unacceptable in this day and age and at the very least he shouldnt be in any leadership position or in a position of power. At least he lost hes human rights case recently (i think ?) not that that means much, but atleast our judiciary is just for the most part. Hes a racist and a idiot, but he doesnt have the power to bring about civil war, the higher ups in the ANC care waaaay to much about foreign investment and money to let that happen ;)

You guys actually spoke about julius malema as the INTERESTING fact about South Africa...seriously? Hmmm i think a interesting fact about South Africa is that it has the largest population of indian people outside of India :) something like that :?

Another interesting thing about South Africa more about Cape Town to be exact, is that it doesnt feel like we live in Africa :/ our culture is very diverse and thers large pupolations of minority groups...which is cool :)

Civil war.

''...defines a civil war as "a violent conflict within a country fought by organized groups that aim to take power at the center or in a region, or to change government policies" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_war

I'm not in the mood for discussing the details, but surely you would have realised that this is a very real posibility.

Cape Town eh. If you think its cool then your in the lucky 5% with me. Unfortunately, MOST people never experience what we do at all. I've made some friends from the 'flats' (I assume you know what I mean), and I can tell you that they live in a difference universe from us.

We are one of the few (i think) cultures in the world that use the term "saudade": "Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays" after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again " - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade

i was born and raised in the cape flats....im not saying life is perfect here, i was just stating that our range of  diverse cultures is a much better interesting fact about South Africa than Julius Malema.

About civil war...i guess we'll agree to disagree on that one. BTW nice to find fellow Vgcharterz from SA :)
