IIRC, right after the end of Apartheid, many white South Africans sold out, used the proceeds to build the largest yacht possible then sailed away with their assets.
Currency regulations prevented their transferring funds outside South Africa.
Spoke to some colleagues from South Africa, who were in for world meeting. Some take aways:
Most every house in affluent neighborhoods are surrounded by 8 ft. walls and secure gates.
Security systems are common.
They never leave their houses w/o guns
Wives are all taught to shoot.
They rarely venture out after dark
But inspite of all that they all really love where they l.ive...........go figure
Who knew there were white millionaires or business people still in South Africa in any significant numbers??
From what we hear, the status of whites in South Africa is similar to the status of Jews in Nazi Germany around 1935 or 1936. Any whites who can leave should get out. They have no future. The handwriting is on the wall as to what will happen in South Africa. If you are the wrong ethnicity you have a target on your back.
Not that I'm an expert in such things but I'm inclined to be somewhat pessimistic regarding SA's future.
And don’t forget rape insurance for the kiddoes.
What took them so long?!
These must be the slow learners of the bunch!
South Africa is part of the Dominion, and many can move to Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand with little problem with permission, only wealth transfer being the challenge.
The greater challenge is many Afrikanners / Dutch who don’t speak good English and have no where else to go without a major cultural shift.
When you look at the age demographics of the ones who left, they’ve lost 20-40% of young adults, with most of the remaining ones the older ones.
In short, many of the younger whites went to university in Canada or the UK or Australia and stayed. Their parents are the remainder behind.
There is a good number of disadvantaged whites in South Africa. They live in horrible conditions of poverty.

Does that constitute ‘inside info’ thatthe UN is gonna move there???> inmydreams
We have Swedish friends who expatted there. They said it was absolutely gorgeous and you had everything you needed in your "safe zone". That, said, you never, ever left it without security. They lasted three years.
I have only really recently learned the true story of South Africa. I never really paid much attention to it or race really.
Everyone on European ancestry should read and listen to Karin Smith, like, today. Then really, really think about what life in the United States is going to be like when it becomes white minority.
