@ op thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

However, based on your background ( information you provided in the write up) I find it difficult to belive that you would reach such a glamorous conclusion about South Africans.

First, you can not make such an assertion about South Africans based on your encounter with just three South Africans.

Secondly, these three persons are people you met in a professional environment chances are that they are likely to be well behaved than the average person or at least understood the ethos of professional life.

I find it questionable when people with your level of exposure try to persuade the general public based on very limited biased data. It makes me question the motives behind your actions.

Mind you I am not saying that South Africans are evil or that we should paint the country bad because of the actions of a few in the same vein we shouldnt assume the whole country a saint based on your encounter with three persons you came in contact with in a professional environment.

Why is this mode of addressing issue a concern to me?

We have a lot of young minds on this forum and heaven knows when you read what they have to say and how they process information on this forum you would agree with me that we have a long way to go in re-educating our population on how to look at issue critically.

I think people like you with your wealth of experiences should imbibe the culture of ensuring that whatever you put out here for these young minds should not only address the issues under consideration but also be able to point them in the direction of both critical thinking and how to access the quality of arguments put out by orders. I think we lack that in this forum even the blind can see that is a very big issue on NL and this NL members are mostly our leaders of tomorrow and I am of the opinion that every avenue should be an opportunity to learn. We should leave it all to the school, obviously the school system has failed in that regards.

Please do not get me wrong I am not against you sharing your experiences and I am not trying to say your opinion and experiences are invalid but if you may you should insert a caveat to point out the biases in your observations based on the environment where you met the people and the number of people involved.

Thanks
