Why Cash from Kenyans in South Africa Shrank 13 times
« on: April 13, 2023, 01:03:51 PM »
Kenyans seems to be doing well in Uganda and Tanzania. This trend should be extended to countries like the DRC, Ethiopia and even Botswana. Getting formal employment in SA is proving to be an herculean task for Africans who are not members of SADEC. Without a permanent residence permit or citizenship, you will most likely not get employed.

Black south Africans have gone to school unlike before and acquired useful qualifications. You won't get employed ahead of them.  My advise to my fellow Kenyans in that conundrum, venture into self employment or just ship out to another country.

Satta Afrika is resetting from the inequalities. It will go down as the mzungu is forced to leave and maybe finally Malema takes over.

Pundito I got Permanent  Residence Permit so I had to go back. Its a better place to raise kids. The system is working.  We started a consulting firm with some blacks and white south Africans and its doing well.

Crime depends with where you reside (just avoid Rustenburg), mode of transportation, hang-out joints and hangout crew (I take Amstel or Windhoek, Johnie Black  :D), SELF-DISCIPLINE etc.

I have never been a victim of any criminal activity neither have I experienced any xenophobic slurs. As far as power is concerned, its way better than Kenya. There are  no cylindeR GASES and notification to the general public on an impending power outage is done to prepare you. No potholes, good roads, drivers are more organized, Electric train, BRT, good social amenities. Its better than Kenya.

Precisely.
Somalis were the most affected. Many of them were stabbed and drowned in the Atlantic Ocean. A place called Cape of Good Hope (point where Indian Ocean meets Atlantic Ocean). Julius Maleama is trying hard to bring forth peaceful co-existence between black Africans from all walks of life. He hates whites though, with a passion.
