    Im from Botswana and people don't even believe me when I say I am from Africa just because I am Indian (race not nationality)

    Also South Africa and pretty much the rest of Southern Africa isn't just black and white there's also Indians too.

    I don't think of any of those things. Since you are white I think you are just another privileged white girl living well off the persecution of others. Now that's really generalizing white people, I know there are poor white people who didn't benefit too much from being white in South Africa.

      You should go ask them if they've ever had people asking them about lions roaming the street in SA etc. They probably have 😂😂

      Yeah. It's not a small country, so there must be a lot of variety.

    Most African countries are built up like South Africa, but White media seem to have a problem with acknowledging that Africans can do smart things like that.

    Good MyTake. I knew all of those things before I even read that but I must admit that when I hear "South Africa," the first images that come to mind are Great White Sharks breaching in False Bay. Lol.

    I have only known white South Africans, and one of them is Jewish.

    I think "Ah, the only people that developed and then completely dismantled their nuclear weapons capability"

      Also while HIV can be transmitted through anal sex transmitting through vaginal or oral is very uncommon. Most HIV is contracted through the sharing of needles, among IV drug users. IV drug users are like 100x more likely to be poor versus the general population so that explains the discrepency

    Most of my perception of what South Africa might be like is from the movie Chappie, and also I read on Wikipedia that a "blaster" is an anti-carjacking flamethrower that is now illegal in South Africa...
