Shumba,

Thanks for this information. Much obliged. Rest assured that I am not mixing luangwablondes up with laguna6288.

I asked the question of luangwablondes after his writings which read:

"I moved to Johannesburg in April from the states. Without a doubt this country is beautiful but has major problems" He also wrote "We are in SA because my wife's family is here"

April was three months ago so now I am really confused??

More important is the fact that if it is correct that luangwablondes does not live in SA, then all I can say is he sure tries to give one the impression that he knows a lot about this country and its peoples while being a foreigner to our shores.

Very proudly part of the wonderful nation of South Africa

Selwyn, it was laguna92688 who wrote "I moved to Johannesburg in April from the states. Without a doubt this country is beautiful but has major problems." Please re-read the thread.

Thx Shumba.

I can see now there is no point in further engagement with the mentally disabled.

shumba, luangwablondes,

Apologies as I did confuse the mail in that it came from Laguna6288. Definitely my error and apologies once again.

With that said luagwablondes all I can say is that if in your opinion it takes a mentally disabled person to read the wrong name on a mail then so be it. On the other hand as a South African born and raised in this country who lived through the apartheid period through thick and thin, my opinion is that it takes a mentally disabled person to make statements about the old South Africa such as the following:

"There are a lot of blacks that wish for the old days. Job security, pension, safety and security, corruption are just a few of the important issues. There are a lot of improvements visible to the eye, but beneath all that, just how many of the population has really gained from the dumping apartheid? I do not agree with the system, but I did hear a lot of complaints from blacks and coloreds that things have only gotten worse"

All I can say to this is "what bunkem" but then I suppose I should take this back as one should not embarrass the mentally disabled for their foolish statements.

Just remember who threw this "mentally disabled" terminology around the first time in this thread!!!!

Im off to sleep as it is 02h15 in Cape Town and I might gain more from my dreams than some of the opinions in this thread. Goodnight.

Very proudly part of the wonderful nation of South Africa
