Beautiful South Afrca

I hear from a few friends complaining again about our country, about what is happening here. Some saying that they want to leave but I don't know.

I was born a South African, a white South African. I lived when the struggle for freedom was almost won. I remember living in Ficksburg and hearing AK-47 gun fire going of in streets. But when I look back I know that was a different time and place. I hear a old man complaining yesterday after church about my 10  months old son having to grow up in country as it is.

What is so bad about that...

Yes we live in dangerous times and being white male everyone thinks you where or are a racits. Well I think people who think like that are like the racists they hate. Hate brings more hate.

I believe in our country... I believe in a future in this country, for me my son and his sons. People will have to sort out there own issues with what is wrong before we get to turning point. But a turning point will come. How long will people stick with incompetent leaders... They will look for better leaders, people all want the same thing. A better life for themselves and children... Our children are the future leaders. Lets start in our own viewpoint and change our minds. For our children's sake.

What our youth face...

Children being raised by grand mothers on social grands

But always willing to learn. Way children are. Maybe we sould learn more

And even trying to better there lives. These children fixed roads for holiday's. Did better job then contractors 

People living of only social grands.

Or this... House build for people standing abandoned because have other homes. 

Another smart plan done by idiots. Building house for government in flood plain

Beauty out here in Africa

 I think this very important to remember in times today. We so easily forget to have FAITH in what God has planned for us and our country. We have to believe.

"So often when things change in our lives, we have such a resistance to the change. This is because when people see a big change appearing they are often fearful that it is something bad. But it is important to remember that when something big changes in our lives, it means something better is coming.When change comes, relax, have total faith, and know that the change is ALL GOOD."
