It's Great to be a Souf Efrikan

This is a great country because:

1. You can eat half dried meat and not be considered disgusting.

2. Nothing is your fault, you can blame it all on apartheid.

3. You get to buy a new car every 3 months and the insurance company even pays for it.

4. You can experience kak service in eleven official languages.

5. Where else can you get oranges with 45% alcohol content at rugby matches?

6. It's the only country in the world where striking workers show how angry they are by dancing.

7. You're considered clumsy if you cannot: use a cell phone (without car kit), change CDs,
drink a beer, put on make-up, read the newspaper and smoke,
all at the same time while driving a car at 160 kph in a 60 kph zone.

8. Great accent. (!!!)

9. If you live in Johannesburg, you get to brag about living in the
most dangerous city in the world.

10. Burglar bars become a feature, and a great selling point for your house.

11. You can decorate your garden walls with barbed wire.

12. The tow-trucks are the first on the scene for most major crimes, without being called.
The police you have to call about three times.

13. Votes have to be recounted until the right party wins.

14. Illegal immigrants leave the country because the crime rate is too high.

15. The police ask you if they must follow up on the burglary you've ju st reported.

16. A murderer gets a 6 month sentence and a pirate TV viewer 2 years.

17. The prisoners strike and get to vote in elections!

18. The police stations have panic buttons to call armed response when they are burgled

19. Police cars are fitted with immobilisers and gearlocks!

20. Condoms for free - shopping plastic bags for sale

Ja nee!! Dis lekker hier!!

I met some Saffies while working in Israel and used SA as a starting point for a 6 month tour of east Africa from Kenya to Capetown.

I wasn't that impressed with the game against England. Was hoping for a more flowing game with a few more balls going to our wings. Would have been nice for Brian to get the record number of tries in a world cup.
But I suppose a win is a win. Like to have seen SA and NZ in final just to prove a point.
By the way, rumours are already flying the our coach might make a move to Auz as coach:eek:

I suppose the statement he made didn't go down well with our govornment: Quote: "this will be the last SA team that is chosen on merit. Gvnmnt will be choosing next W-Cup team" end qt.

Cheers

1. At least you beat the poms....
2. Yes - with that quote - I think he'll be looking for a new job. Not exactly politically correct (pc)
