Jeez, bronzie, that sounds like some of my worst nightmares! Also a lot like growing up in Flatbush (a Brooklyn NY neighborhood that forced out white people) in the 80s.
Which is why I have those nightmares.

Hey Stack - as a visitor who has only clocked up a few months here I have not consumed enough fuel to really get the nightmares to flare, but I can image some people with history here share similar dreams. Which would explain the number of SA expats in Australia et al. But not all is doom and gloom here - there are a lot of positive things going on. It's just chaoitic and in a state of flux - I don't think South Africa has found its "stable state" yet - if anywhere ever does.

You know, life goes on. From a distance it may look great, or very hard, but you live it day by day; every day is just that -- life. Only later can we sort it out -- as memories, colored by our current circumstances...

@stack 100% - I hope your current circumstances are treating you good! _/|\_

No real complaints here. Keep up the situational awareness and stay safe!
