Last day in SA. I’m about to go to the airport. I just hope I will live long enough to return to this place, because I leave a piece of my heart behind. Your country is an immense treasure: the cradle of humankind and the future of the whole continent. Thank you all for the kindness and feedbacks!

Yes. To a certain extent I agree. But now it's failing. It was a good country. Then it went to shit. I know apartheid was wrong. But South Africa was top of the world during those times. The Rand was stronger than the dollar. They changed too many laws. Now our crime rate is horrid. One of the worst in the world. Very few politicians care. As far as I'm concerned Nelson Mandela wasn't a good president. Or from what I've heard. I was still young. And I was told that Mbeki was a far better president than Mandela. Yes he fought for the rights of black people. He may have been a good resistance leader. And did well for his people. But he could have been a better president. And then shit just got worse with Zuma. And they're still not changing things to suit a lot of the black population
