Love800: Then maybe south africa is the same level with the north, but am too sure southy is way more than them.
Well, South Africa has been voted "the most beautiful country in the world" several times, and Cape Town alone has been named "the most beautiful city in the world" a record 7 times.. I don't recall any North African country getting these accolades, and this is not to downplay the infrastructural giant that Morocco is.
jmoore: How old are you? When did south Africa get independence?
Give credit to the colonial masters that developed South Africa.
We're talking about modern-day progress here, you can't always hide behind the white excuse every time South Africa makes progress, boss. Just one example, the Zuma administration produced two state-of-the-art universities, which I'm certain are better than any other university you have over there, and if a thread were made up about them today, I can bet a billion dollars, many of you would have credited white people for its construction. Right now, the government has announced that a bullet train will start construction in 2027, and when it's finished, mark my words, you'll still be here, giving credit to white people..
IGBOSON1: You're South African aren't you? It would only take a Nigerian to appreciate my argument! Development in Nigeria has lagged behind not because the white man is better or superior, but because the average Nigerian can't get his act together....for a myriad of reasons!
To the extent that you praise colonialism? Nah fam
jmoore: You can continue to deny the obvious. I don't have time for back and forth argument.
You don't have the time, or you don't have facts to back your arguments? Don't think just because Nigeria's a failed state, that it takes white people to build you the basic of things.. You can do it yourselves
RandDigital: You have to reach a certain level of failed-state status to begin kissing white behind for every little thing.
Bra.. these people are so far gone, some hosted parties in Nigeria celebrating Trump's inauguration.. that's the level Nigerians would go to kiss white ***
That something progressive in South Africa is the work of the Whiteman? That would mean 80% of South African population have no input in the affairs of their country, which is impossible..
IGBOSON1: You see why some of us argue that as bad as colonialism was, given the benefit of hindsight we can now say that the British colonial gov't left Nigeria too early! I would have prefered they stayed till at least the late 80s early 90s!
It really doesn't take a white person to build you roads or hospitals, you guys and this "white is god" mentality, it's your undoing...Yesterday I saw a Nigerian stadium filled with Nigerians wearing Barcelona shirts, and it just went to show how embedded the white worship is among Nigerians..
ajailer: South Africans sha, God had to just help them by making the Afrikaans develop the place for them, else the people and the country for be the worst place in Africa for an outsider to stay. I was commenting on FB of how I would love to visit the track when an F1 race takes place there, next thing na one rabid SA woman come dey snarl on top me. Maybe she thought that if I come there, I might not want to go back. Me wey dem don offer SA visa way back and I refused going cos the place aint even part of where I will like to japa to.
Sorry, this jealous talk doesn't cut it anymore. Look at the South African football league, for example, look at how organized and rich it is. Who runs it? Who built those stadiums, those facilities? Kaiser Chiefs alone have facilities better than all your teams combined. Who runs and owns Kaizer Chiefs? South Africa was never gonna be the worst place in Africa because South Africans aren't wired like that, even under Apartheid, black areas were still organized, you and us aren't the same. You'll always make white excuses for your shortcomings... The likes of Rwanda and Kenya are moving forward at a rapid pace; you guys are still crying for the white man. Have you seen Addis Ababa of Ethiopia, lately? Looks better than all of your cities, without your beloved white man. Stop this defeatist mentality
jmoore: Na white people develop south Africa. That's why they are the first African country to host world cup.
They already have the facilities in place.
They should win the bid.
LOl.. I knew someone will start blabbering about white people... You guys see something nice or positive in South Africa, your mind automatically thinks white people.. I really don't understand how you were conditioned
seppuku: My point is simply to support my statement that the call of "taking back your spaza shops" precedes any egregious acts of child deaths which by the way were actually few and far in between or the manufacturing of counterfeit goods.
I wonder as well, if children have died from contaminated foods and counterfeit goods from these spaza shops. They should be out of business "automatically" since common sense would dictate that "South Africans" would stop patronizing these hell holes.
Its either your people are not very smart or maybe there is an ulterior motive.
seppuku: Ahh, so according to the article, They've been killing your kids for 10 years now. Shame.
So what about dates prior to that when spaza shops were being looted and the very same citizens were angry about it. They sure didn't care about those kids that died way back then.
I get it though, this new generation of patriots are much wiser than them.
You said ten years, I then gave you an article from 10 years ago, now you are moving further and further to prove what? looting? People have looted even malls owned by South Africans before, so these articles mean nothing. What I'm saying is that scrutiny and calls to take back these spaza shops started after these videos of these people making Coca Colas themselves and kids dying.. Take it, leave it.. up to you
seppuku: 1.The spaza shop thing started way before the school kid poisoning incident. A simple you tube search will provide proof of lootings that happened long before the stories of kids hit the airwaves. The poisoning simply provided the impetus to intensify the resentment of spazashop control.
2. I often wonder when your phones go bad why do your locals guys patronize these paki/indian cell phone shops and at the same time complain about their presence. Why don't you have similar "South African" phone repair shops to counter these guys.
1. When Seppuku doesn't like the sound of something he disputes it.. unfortunately facts are facts bro. I was there when these things first blew up, I know what I'm taking about. You rely on YouTube, I'm on the ground. Huge difference
2. There are Spaza shops owned by South Africa same with cellphone repairs, etc

seppuku: No, it's not. Julius tried to tell you guys in the past that the most pressing problem was "crime" committed by criminals including foreigners, but you labelled him a pan Africanist and unpatriotic sell out.
Operation dudula is not at the front lines of the drug, kidnapping or mozambican car jacking syndicate. They are busy targeting spaza shop owners and blocking sick people from entering hospitals.
Do you even know how the Spaza shop thing started ? The Spaza shops thing started when videos of how the products these Somalis and Pakistani were sellling started circulating.. and how school kids began dying or hospitalized because of these contaminated foods.. eyebrows were raised there.. you guys use pan Africaniism wrongly, Julius included
seppuku: Ahhh, I see you are worried about the ones committing crimes so Why don't we as a "government" prioritize the criminals that are committing crimes first before we move down to the less dangerous ones.
seppuku: PS. I don't see you guys being overly passionate and taking it to the streets of camps bay and SeaPoint. I know without a doubt there are a lot of "expatriates" sorry "Legal migrant foreigners" there in cohorts with the "Whites" making sure their control and numbers don't dwindle.
What patriot's you guys are or maybe you only know how to defend your hoods/kasi's.
How likely are you to see a German immigrant snatching someone's phone? Or stealing copper cables? or raping? or caught in the corner selling drugs?
