I am from New York and I have traveled to SA about 15 times mainly Durban and the surrounding areas and Cape Town. In July I will visit Gqeberha (formally known as Port Elizabeth. In all of my visits I cannot recall seeing public urination in SA. I do not believe that I am so oblivious to that behavior, meaning I see it but don't see it. Growing up in New York you would not see working class boys and men urinating in public, but you might see the homeless or the destitute participate in this activity. Of course now I will probably see it when I next visit in July. As for the panhandling techniques you described...this was the main M.O. in New York City back in the '80s. There were certain intersections that you would not stop just behind the car in front of you. This way when the panhandlers approached your car with their concoction, you could move up a little, and little more making it difficult for them. But the got smart and would spray your windshield with some sticky goo that your windshield wiper fluid and wipers would only make worse...then you had to have them clean it off. In other words...that technique is not new. With all that being said, I am looking to retire and spend a few of my retirement years in SA. I will reach out for insight.

If your dad was ever a garden boy during apartheid, you will hate pets. Even I in the 2000s as a garden boy I came to hate how my lunch dishes were kept in the dogs food cabinet. And they were the shiny dog dishes so you sometimes gotta hope you eat on a clean dish not previously used by a dog. Its traumatic.

Public urination is one of apartheid legacies. I think that's why arresting or finning people is not a priority because people in authority know the history. Black people were denied toilets in most business areas/ towns thus left with no option when nature calls. Even myself as a black female I recall a personal history of being denied the use of toilet facilities sometimes😰.

Started a few years ago. Really made a huge difference. An ID/passport/ driver's license are too serious to allow an employee at an office level to just press print on a machine. A driver's license does not prove your identity in SA. It is useless if you are not driving. In the US, you guys I believe do not have a federal issued ID document. You use other documents to identify people. Here, only that gov card can tell who you are which every place will ask for it. So home affairs is too busy in processing every citizen including the international community.

The dog/pet perspective in South Africa is common over most of the non-western world. The western mindset has become more common as they have fewer and fewer children. Public urination is also common here in Kenya as well. Been here two years and we're still not use to it. However, the more we spend time in different countries, the more we've changed from considering things right or wrong and see them as my way or their way. Peace Sis. Sending love to the SA family.

lol. yeah. our relationship with animals is different. its not that we dont care, we just aware that an animal is an animal and deserves its own space- not mine. In fact that is why we have so many stray animals. but we dont go killing them. we let them be. as long has they not violent.

I am South African and HATE public urination. Oh, I loathe it. I'm new here and I've just subscribed. You're adorable. We're generally not really pet-people like that. So pets, especially dogs, inside the house, is a no! I love cats and can have them in the house only because they are clean. I've never owned a dog and generally avoid pets cz I'm not about to treat a living thing badly. So I'll rather not have them. But I do wish I could. In future.

Our SA database unlike the US we have a centralized system in the US they struggle yo trace criminals who move to another state. Our technology is safer. She was not born I SA her ID has to be protected from ID theft especially because the US uses legacy system, they still use cheaque which we buried 10 years ago.

One thing I can commend you on, is that you're trying shem on the local languages and that's cute & commendable. Public urination in SA 🇿🇦 is illegal & public indecency but thats the least of our challenges. But on the other rants, drop the attitude & snobbing girl. America 🇺🇸 has brainwashed many of you in the main, live life for once without being too serious & uptight. Last one, "you have nice life problems shem", that's why you rant about small things...
