We have a lot of South African immigrants here in NZ. Mostly getting away from the crime in SA. It's kind of sad how bad it is over there.
On topic - I've had a knife pulled on me while at a school camp. |
Right after apartheid many people emigrated there. There were concerns about the safety in our country - mostly justified I guess. I know at least 5 families that packed up everything and went to NZ. Lowest crime rate in the world isn't it?
It is a terrible situation tbh. Luckily I don't live in Johannesburg - that place... Let me tell you what happens there...
You wake up in the morning, IN your bed... And EVERYTHING in the house is taken - even the bedside tables. They burn something (apparantly DVD's !? ) that prevent you from waking up and then even your bedside table is taken. I actually know a family that went through this - despicable.
Worst is that the poor are getting poorer - only a very, very small fraction of 'previously disadvantaged' persons are actually better off now. Classic case of people forgetting where they came from as soon as they reach the top.
