No with age comes the knowledge on how to handle such people regardless of the gender. We only meet if there's a gathering/party somewhere and she has no clue where we are renting now so we keep a safe distance. At the end of the day I think the point of the OP's post is that you don't want a parasite for a date/friend yeah.

Johannesburg - The attacks on foreign nationals earlier this year were not due to xenophobia, the co-chair of Parliament's portfolio committee on the attacks said on Friday.

"We as a committee have come to a determination that these attacks cannot be characterised as xenophobic," committee co-chair Tekoetsile Motlashuping said at the Moroka police station in Soweto.

They had discussed the issue at length, and looked up the meaning of xenophobia in a dictionary.

"The dictionary says it is 'extreme' hatred against foreigners. South Africans do not have extreme hatred,'' he said, adding that anybody who characterised the violence against foreigners earlier this year as xenophobic, was wrong.

"We are from exile," he said of some of the MPs from the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces, who were on a fact-finding trip.

Foreign nationals came to South Africa for many reasons, including economic, academic, political problems at home, and because of South Africa's political stability.

He said some believed they came because there were "lots of grants".

"South Africa is working hard to the extent that foreigners are attracted [to the country]."

'They go to townships to occupy the economic space'

Many planned to go back to their countries of origin when, for example, the political situation had stabilised there, and they would take South Africa's democratic principles with them.

He said lawlessness would not be allowed and anybody in the country illegally would be arrested and deported with "no mercy".

"They roam, they go to townships to occupy the economic space. We never invaded economic space in exile."

People coming into South Africa illegally made it difficult for the country to plan and so resources would not be able to be used equally.

Soweto was designed to keep different language groups in separate areas, which created a sense of ethnicity.

"We don't want to look at what happened. What has happened has happened. But we want to look at the root causes. We need to be able to plan and be combat ready."

Presentations were made to the committee by high-ranking police officers on events leading up to, and in the aftermath, of attacks on businesses owned by foreign nationals in suburbs to the west of Johannesburg in January. These were intended to to give the committee an idea of the complexity of the issue, and its causes.

The officers said the attacks were not on foreign nationals themselves, but on their businesses. If the owner resisted a looting or robbery, they were assaulted, but then the robbers ran away with the goods.

Police had found it difficult to find the shop owners. An attempt at building a data base, or inviting foreign nationals to Community Policing Forum meetings revealed that the person they had spoken to at a shop a few days earlier, had disappeared and been replaced by a new shopkeeper.

Shops next to 'hot spots'

It appeared that shopkeepers rotated their presence at the shops, so it was difficult to find them.

The committee heard that South Africans trying to make extra money to feed their families would rent space on their properties to the shopkeepers. The shops were sometimes next to a "hot spot", such as a house where nyaope was sold and smoked, and robbers broke through the hot spot to rob the shop.

Some slept on mealie meal bags.

Krugersdorp cluster commander Anna Mateisi presented details of attacks on January 22 in Tshepisong and Swaneville to illustrate the patterns of the attacks.

On that day, around 14:00 in Tshepisong West, a group of men tried to rob the Thanda Bantu supermarket. Shopkeeper Somalian Hoossain Ali Hassan retaliated by shooting randomly, hitting Nhlanhla Molefe, 20.

"After this people started looting," she said. Hassan was arrested and found in possession of an unlicensed firearm.

On January 23 2015, a Pakistani shop owner in Swaneville, was the target of looting. Hendrik Manye, 61, was shot dead. The suspects are still at large.

In Rietvallei extension 2, people started looting and Zanele Majozi, 19, fell. She was trampled while fleeing and the baby on her back died. About 80 shops in Kagiso were looted.

Rent space 'from an old lady'

Police in the area held meetings with community policing forums, residents had a march and they tried to control the situation.

Dobsonville acting cluster commander Brigadier Mark Joseph explained the placing and structure of the foreign-owned shops in the area.

None of the areas where they had their business were zoned for this. The quality of building was so bad that robbers could break through the walls.

They usually rent space "from an old lady'" as renting shop space yields more money than a backyard room. And then, the business is run "by an uncle that you never see", Joseph said.

The "uncle" had a tax certificate, but it was registered in somebody else's name.

Goverment agencies such as home affairs and the SA National Defence Force discuss xenophobia weekly. They found that the number of shops stayed the same, but the the names of the owners changed.

Another policeman expressed concern about the quality of goods sometimes sold in the shops. There were concerns that the food products could cause illnesses. The committee then moved to another meeting.

OP
Are you a blogger?

funlord:
If I agreed with this post then that means I would have 2 also believe in the easter bunny, santa claus and the tooth fairy! Please generalisation is the greatest sign of immaturity on earth! By the time you are more experienced in life and love, then maybe you may finally realise that this is all fallacy and then hopefully you would stop living according 2 the life rules you read about in "cosmopolitan and todays woman"!

okay you are very passionate that's for sure. Everyone else on the other hand may be aware that this is just a counter thread to a similar thread against in the romance section and may i point out that it's meant to be light humour for those who get that ofcourse. No offence funlord.

RealOdades:
that's true. I had the app last year. I registered as magnifico. but was denied access because it wasn't my real name. so I added my surname to make it look like a full name and was granted access but when I uninstalled the app my opera mini opened automatically and loaded their site. there they ask "hello xxxxxxx xxxxxx" (my real name with which I named my device) let us know why u uninstalled our app. I was shocked they stole and stored my real identity all the while and I tot I was smart!

is this for real?

On point

ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSONAL OPINION,HOW EFFECTIVE IS NDLEA?

Freemanan:

ONE TYPE OF WOMAN YOU MUST NOT MARRY...





THE LADY ABOVE ME...

nice swimsuit..

provided your wife doesn't go home every 10 minutes and y'lls business remains your business yes...till you get on your feet.

Gbam!

The commitment-phobe

Finally locked down the guy every girl's been chasing? Well, I got news for you. Just because he finally decided to knuckle down and commit, doesn't mean he's committed. If he used to be a commitment-phobe, he may still be and you'll always wonder how invested in the relationship he really is.

The rebel

A lot of women are attracted to the bad boy. There's just something mysterious and romantic about him. But a lot of times the rebel in society is a rebel in marriage. And pretty soon you'll find him rebelling against you, too.

The narcissist

Narcissus was an ancient Greek mythological figure who was so beautiful that he fell in love with himself — but because he couldn't leave his own reflection in the water, he eventually drowned. A person who is a narcissist is so convinced of their own greatness that they don't see their weaknesses. Marrying a narcissist is a very one sided relationship. They're always trying to vaunt their own greatness — often at the expense of others.

The control freak

Everybody likes to have things their own way. Unfortunately, because men are socialized to express hostility and anger when they don't get what they want, a man who is a control freak can often become intimidating and even abusive (physically or mentally).

The I-know-more-than-you

It's a good thing to marry a person for his brains. But be careful because you might end up marrying a know-it-all. And you'll always feel like you're wrong — even if it's just an opinion.

The mama's boy

You've heard that how a man treats his mother is how he'll treat you. So you look for a guy who is close to his mom and spends a lot of time with her. But be careful, if he's too close you'll find yourself married to his mother, too. So you better get used to hearing, "My mom doesn't do it that way." And you better get used to his mother being your marriage counselor, too.

The pretty boy

Get used to spending your weekends at the mall looking for new clothes instead of going to soccer practice. But at least you'll have a great looking house and car (even if you can't afford it).

The pushover

As mentioned before, everybody likes to have their own way. So when you find a guy who lets you do whatever you want and doesn't complain about it, you want to grab him up. But after a while you'll find yourself making all the decisions. And then you'll find yourself complaining because he doesn't pull his own weight.

The manly man

This guy talks about sports, beer and hunting all the time. Sure, he's rugged but you better be prepared to change all the diapers and do all the housework. And forget about him getting you something nice for Valentine's Day because real men don't do that mushy stuff.


The fitness freak

Who doesn't want a guy with chiseled abs and nice arms? But despite all his good (physical) traits you may soon find that the gym is taking up an exorbitant amount of time in your family's life. And you'll find yourself using phrases like "did you beat your PR today, honey?" But more importantly, a man who lets the gym run his life has let the servant become the master and you'll soon find that he has other priorities out of whack, too.

Yes, there are bits and pieces of these personality traits in every Prince Charming. But just make sure they're only bits and pieces or you'll find yourself married to a frog instead of a Prince.
