White Exodus

Max Du Preez was on 3 Talk yesterday. An interesting issue popped up. He lambasted white South Africans who have chosen, or are in the process of leaving the country. He said people in SA fail to separate politics from their country. People can criticize their politicians, Eskom etc, and still remain fiercly patriotic. Du Preez used an American analogy; Americans are very critical of Bush, embarrassed even, but they never openly declare their COUNTRY as an abomination. Du Preez asked the question; why are white South Africans being so critical,and negative about their country? It is not the country that has a problem, it is some of the administrators that are bringing the whole country's image down.

Its a shame that we would have a classical example of unpratriotism like that..but lets hope/pray that South Africans listen and change their views on such issues..!A call for a reformed South Africa with its thinking..!
