Daily living is getting more and more expensive, especially electricity. The biggest problem is flooding Europe with young muslim men, so-called migrants. SA has its problems, but in comparison to Europe, it is doing very well. The main thing is that SA should stay away from green ideology and use its resources.

EU's energy crisis is due to the Russian's invasion of Ukraine. The EU is so beholden to Russia and the only way to go is 'green'.

However 'bad' Europe is painted its still great to live in a place where your basic needs are met and where there is performance base employment.

In my 76th year, I'm sure not going anywhere. Where would I go anyway? The "West" is plainly kaput, at least for another 2 or 3 generations. Besides, I've recently realised (took me a while!) that I'm actually a white African with a great affection for this beautiful, rambustuous, always interesting, imperfect place and people. It's in my blood and arthritic old bones. We've much left to get right (no word-play intended) but we'll find our own solutions.

The thing is, people with money always say"money is not everything". People that had the oppertunity to emmigrate, did and are not happy, but when you don't have other option, you have to stay and be unhappy. To Byron, most people in SA can't affort to buy a R1.6 mil house or a R600k car in SA.

The truth of the matter is that there are places in every country worth living if you have the money. You will struggle to find competent governments in the western world. If you have money, you can find a decent home and live a decent life almost anywhere in the world. If you don’t have the money, then everywhere will be a struggle. SA should provide many opportunities but the unemployment rate suggests that most ppl are struggling and will be struggling for a long time. Only the privileged would suggest SA as a great option.

We can all build such communities based on other common principles that keep the community devoted to a common purpose, they use their Afrikaans culture we could use something else.... don't throw the baby put with the bath water just because they make it Afrikaans only and we equate that with race...lets not dismiss the success story that we can learn from, if you listen to them with an open mind u will see that it's not about race but culture.... they don't let in non Afrikaans white people either so it's not race but culture.... let's take the lesson and leave out the racism....

I've been waiting for a long time now for someone in the media to present this viewpoint. The herd mentality that has seen me say goodbye to many friends and colleagues has gone largely unchallenged. We seem to have only one metric by which we make the decision to leave and that is economic prosperity. That was more clearly the case about 20 years ago but now even that is highly questionable, never mind the fact that it's such a narrow-minded view of what makes life worth living. Individuals will have their own unique experiences and circumstances that necessitate leaving but I fear with most it is simply the unfounded belief that a better life awaits them on the other side.

I'm a British expat (here since I was 7, so I think of myself as South African). I have a two storey home with a decent sized garden. It's not a mansion but it's mine and almost completely paid off. I would never have this situation in the UK, my own relatives there are telling me this. I would live in a tiny miserable little hole I couldn't afford if I stayed anywhere near where there are still jobs. Britain has a lot of beautiful countryside, incredibly rich history & architecture, but its indigenous people, while decent & civilised folk, have become too weak & domesticated for their own survival. It's also a police state where you get a visit from the police not for your deeds, but for your opinions. The UK government uniparty (combined Labour and what's left of the Tories) is a demonic, lying blob that has blatant malice towards its own people, it's facilitating a demographic and cultural assault that hasn't been seen there since 1066. It's doing it for cheap labour, not because it cares about the welfare of illegal migrants or is worried about local fertility. I think I'll stay in SA for all its issues, thanks. Unless good ol' Julius became president. I think we can turn it around for everyone living here. The West, on the other hand, appears to be falling into an abyss.

Luckily the weather is like ours (that is important to me). However, I FULLY get all the issues and hence why I cannot live there (forever) and the actual freedoms here you get and not Australia (I've been there 3 times on short stints) ... hence the only objective to build up money and bring back here to be set up........ But Europe - forget it! But if/when I go soon - it's certainly not forever. Not emigrating. I know many people say it before going and never come back. I know I am different. This land is part of me and I simply cannot do without it forever. I just need for $$$$$$ to be setup.
