I think you guys are way too pessimistic about SA's future. Yes, we have a major problem with whites emmigrating. These were the people that had such a problem with Aparthied to begin with. Now that the system they wanted is in place, they run to Australia or Britain, or in the Afrikaaner's case, the Netherlands. In my opinion they are traitors of the worst sort.
As for the National Party, the NNP should have rejoined with the Democratic Alliance. They would have retained control over the Western Cape. The National Party seriously lost touch with it's base, the white and coloured voters.
Yeah, there are heaps of white suid afrikaans (sp?) in Perth,, and a few here in Melbourne too. One of my english teachers was an indian south african; Ms. Singh. I also had a South African History teacher, Ms. Berlin
I don't think they're traitors. If you have the chance to live and work in a control that is better then your own, take it! Thats why there is immigration to countries like Australia, The Netherlands and Britain-they offer a better life.
I(f I thought living in Britain offered a better life, as some Australians have done, i wouldn't have a problem moving there. Coincidentally, more Brits more to Australia permanently then the other way around, but some people prefer for a variety or reasons to live in different areas.
I do have a serious question though-how well/poorly have the asian south africans fared from this? Under apartheid, they were sort of the second tier; after it some have said that they've become the third tier; because the whites still control many institutions, but the blacks are taking over some, leaving the Indians in the same position and slowly being overtaken by the blacks. Is this true, or will it become true, in your opinion?
