All anyone has to do is want it bad enough..

I would rather die fighting for my country
than run like a coward with my hands out
begging for mercy

wouldnt you?

as i say, it's very easy for you to say that from your safe and comfortable existence. but very well.

Lets say the natives in south africa had to start slaughtering white former colonial powers such as myself would i: run away from my place of birth run from the land that i was conceived and born on or would i fight for the place that i live. I would fight most certainly. Thank god here where i live in kwamakutha i'm rather safe. But however many high class whites in previously white classified areas may face the brutality of the people some day just as zimbabwean refugees are both in there country and the country that they hope to find refuge in. So if it was me being chased outta my land i would fight.

It depends if you can fight. I live in a safe country so couldn't say.

If I had nothing to lose then yes I think you have to. But the thing is if you are an average Zimbabwean how do you fight the government. If you try anything you or your family will probably be arrested or be beaten up by his goons.

Violence never solves anything, it normally just makes things worse. But yeah at the end of the day it is a last resort that eventually has to be used.

Contributing to crime? Isn't South Africa already full of crime?

Perhaps getting rid of the Smith government and changing its name from Rhodesia wasn't the best outcome

I've been following this story in the news over the past few months and I find it fascinating. A Z$ 500,000,000 bill that only purchases a bottle of beer. Life expectancies dropping to mid 20s. I think anyone living in Zimbabwe should do whatever they can to get the hell out of there, even if it means giving up the status of being a billionaire.

Fred: There's virtually nothing to love about a country that's being run into the ground (350,000% inflation, obviously rigged elections, government sanctioned violence) by a pretty-much dictator who refuses to let go of his power while the rest of Africa turns a blind eye. As a citizen of Zimbabwe, the pragmatic choice is to flee. It doesn't make you weak, just smart. Even for something that seems innocent to someone living in the first world, such as publicly displaying support for the opposition political party, will draw the attention of Mugabe's cronies who will beat you up or kill you without a second thought. You sound ill-informed of the situation, I recommend reading more about it.

I find it outrageous that the people who are denouncing the Zimbabweans in South Africa really mean it.

Seriously, just because the Limpopo River is there, what does that mean?

Let's divide my town, wonderful shall we?

We can call this Scudderland

We can call this part Foxenia

and this part Ravenswana

now we have a problem.

Scudderland is the most developed country, and all of the people from Foxenia are going there, because of Zimbabwean style meltdown.

Now, let's get clubs and sticks and murder all of those people woohoo.

Mbeki, you should stop sleeping, otherwise you will wake up in hell.
