Huh!? Are you serious with that first comment? I was implying that crime is a problem here... I love my country.
Mountain bikes can be more expensive than motorcars.

No I am sure you love your country. Just a small joke. Smalllllllll joke. sorry if it offended you or anything.
How much was your bike? :P

I thought it must be a joke :)
haha, actually my bike wasn't too expensive R2000 ~ $200 or so. I do know someone who has a bike worth over $6000 - the crazy idiot.

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.

How do white ppl in SA keep their security? Is it common to live in gated communities?
