[@nomfundosangweni2866]

As a South African I am really disappointed with what is happening around us I have been with my Guineain partner for 7years now and can not lie being with him I learnt a lot and therefore foreigners have a special place in my heart especially the treatment they give to they guest when they come into they country 😢

[@lozi4163]

🎉 Are you in Guinia or is the same old story of you'll selling this country for nonsense with this kind of arrangements always happening in our country but you'll never go to live in their countries? When this country is overpopulated, you will wait for SA mem to build it back & fix it because its obvious that this kind of men haven't built anything at home hence most of you are always here.

This lady can act naturally. She must go into film industry to do movies. She is a real born actress. She has gone through a lot. May God bless her.

[@pinnacleofhope-detoxcentre]

My biggest concern is that this is a very small percentage of how South Africa is. Unfortunately as a foreigner you will not know the hotspots of crime stricken areas. And secondly it is most painful that it's your own people that bring you here for their own gain. I'm so sorry for what you went through.
