Are you feeling “Torn in the New South Africa” ? – please express yourself and help me with my new book!
I am collating a book to be called “Torn in the New SA”. Independent Newspapers in SA has agreed to do an article and interview with me. I need to collect as many responses as possible by end April.
It is related to my article on www.escapeartist.com (The Dangers of South Africa : Fear of Crime). http://www.escapeartist.com/efam/55/South_Africa_Commentary.html
written and published in January 2004.
The website was promoting SA as a paradise to live, work and invest in. I agree that is true but felt that they should also highlight the downside.
Pres. Mbeki took offence to the article and called me a ****** in his October 2004 online newsletter. The article has generated an outpouring of emotions. I want to chronicle all the feelings of expats, residents and tourists / temporary residents, anyone who has strong feelings about SA.
Interested in participating, email me at brontyb@mindspring.com and I will send you the questionnaire.
I appreciate your help.

Yes they should highlight the downside. We help to make that downside in many ways but then again we also help to fix that.
