This is coming from someone who has moved from one world to a completely different world.<BR/><BR/>Although i must admit- Home Affairs just sucks! There have been plenty of times where if my husband hadnt grabbed my hand and pulled me out i think i would have clobbered someone in! (not that it would make a blind bit of difference). Its the incompetence and the lack of organisation that gets me! :-( otherwise its a beautiful place.<BR/><BR/>Interesting people too-seems Durban people are the most friendliest- with Joburgers (no offence) come across quite stuck up.(Either theyre really nice or theyre just plain snobs). And as usual, the attitude and "fakeness" seems to stem from the females rather than he men! Maybe this isnt exclusive to SA though- although girls back home for me are much more open minded, not judgemental or stuck up. This is just my observation- its not a judgement call or a generalisation- so if anyone is offended, dont be :-) im not trying to offend.<BR/><BR/>Have been meaning to do a blog about this but ah well.Zaherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666016353958203164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-71907162439769442652008-09-20T02:39:00.000+02:002008-09-20T02:39:00.000+02:00saaleha bamjee-mayet - your creativity, intelligen...saaleha bamjee-mayet - your creativity, intelligence and faith - truly enlightening!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-26618095100658549382008-09-19T23:36:00.000+02:002008-09-19T23:36:00.000+02:00Dear Anonymous:That's quite a diatribe you've got ...Dear Anonymous:<BR/>That's quite a diatribe you've got going over there.<BR/>I'm curious to know how in the 'few times' you've visited South Africa, you managed to meet or at least greet EVERY single muslim who lives here.<BR/>Your generalisations are scathing, my Canadian friend.<BR/>I maintain that if you can't put your name behind what you believe strongly about, then what you have to say has no substance at all.<BR/>If you would like to continue this dialogue, feel free to email me.Saaleha Idrees Bamjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010890352357594397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-71611786572179734262008-09-19T22:41:00.000+02:002008-09-19T22:41:00.000+02:00elaborate...sure! visited south africa a few times...elaborate...sure! visited south africa a few times, and EVERY muslim over there just seems to be about material things. gotta have a better house than the next person, gotta have a better car then so and so. all the muslims cruising in the same branded clothes, everyone looks the same...like little robot clones. egos are through the ROOF. around the world...SA muslims arent even taken remotely serious, because it's all just a front. muslims there are just out to screw each other over to get to the top. muslims over there have no morals or standards...no where else in the world are MUSLIMS having to take HIV tests before marriage to prove that they weren't screwing everything that walks before marriage. your country will never improve...look around you...how many of your rich muslims are actually giving back to your country?? most of your rich ppl are just figuring out more ways to screw your country over before they jet off to australia or england. so save the we got potential crap, we are acheivers. you're just a bunch of clones. hello my name is south africa and i am just another third world statistic. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-49155164144555744632008-09-19T19:04:00.000+02:002008-09-19T19:04:00.000+02:00@anon: elaborate please.@anon: elaborate please.Saaleha Idrees Bamjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010890352357594397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-76430670063963313622008-09-19T17:29:00.000+02:002008-09-19T17:29:00.000+02:00a country of conformists where all the muslims wan...a country of conformists where all the muslims want to be the same! :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-30702731101427915452008-09-19T15:20:00.000+02:002008-09-19T15:20:00.000+02:00nicely said indeedand our country has areas that a...nicely said indeed<BR/>and our country has areas that are still unexplored...beauty from heaven!?!?!ZKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870553141427450648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-12345856876203256422008-09-19T14:59:00.000+02:002008-09-19T14:59:00.000+02:00a nation of creatives and achievers indeed.well sa...a nation of creatives and achievers indeed.<BR/><BR/>well said SBM, well said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
