Interesting.
It’s not a place where you can go on a nice Sunday drive in the country-———and city folks live in gated communities or behind bars and razor wire.
You are fortunate to have seen the country,though,because geographically it’s quite beautiful.

Why will the Black government of South Africa not grant visas to white South Africans who want to get out with their money?
Are you familiar with the situation, or am I now in the position of informing you about it?
That's what i'm thinking too.
By 2050 whites are predicted to, make up something like 7% of the world population, what's that look like?
Keep in mind less than 100 years ago white people were something like 60% of the global population.
Anybody feeling warm and fuzzy about the world and conditions they are leaving their progeny?
That could very well be true.
Prior to the Boer War, the majority of whites, in South Africa were of Dutch and Huguenot ancestry. They had left long before Marxism and welfare states had even been thought of, in Europe. And even after the Brits came, we're talking about Victorian/Edwardian England.
Nor was anyone, in that nation, except for the blacks ( primarily those from the Xhosa tribe, who aren't indigenous to that area, but were brought into it, as SLAVES, by the Zulus, who had waged war against and conquered them, and were then schooled and trained by stinking COMMIE whites )of the ANC and a small group of white Commies, in the 20th century, lefties. And that group, until very late in the 20th century, had NO power.
And there is NOT, now, a "cradle to grave welfare state" in RSA now!
Do you know any ex-pat Afrikaners who live in America now?
Are you even aware of the fact that there were quite a large group of ex-pat Afrikaners here, on this site, who are CONSERVATIVES? I bet not!
The women in my group were totally impressed by the afrikaner men we encountered. I was impressed with the one afrikaner woman I met. She invaded my dreams the whole time I was there — but only in third person. Rather I dreamed about making things right with her men folk.
Now THAT’S what I would call a dreamy vacation.
I hope the USA accepts every single one of them....
its genocide...they're refugees..

“Why will the Black government of South Africa not grant visas to white South Africans who want to get out with their money?”
A South African would need a visa to enter the United States and that visa would be issued by the United States.
My comments were about the period between 1948 - when Apartheid started - and 1994 - when the ANC took over.
Under Botha, government spending reached 50% of GDP, which was equal to the Scandinavian countries, and South Africa ran huge deficits trying to “stimulate” their economy.
Now, I certainly agree that white South Africans faced a unique set of problems. They were anti-Communist, and they spent a significant share of the government budget on defense.
However, they also sent huge amounts of money to the independent Black home lands, trying to purchase peace.
They also spent huge amounts of money on white South Africans, because international sanctions created high unemployment and economic hardship.
Perhaps I should have said that white South Africans who move to the USA will vote like old fashioned southern populist Democrats?
That was James Blunt currently a Brit pop singer.
WRONG! These days many SA whites are impoverished and living in Hooverville type places. I have seen the photos.
The problem is not on our end, the problem is on the South African government end.
