Hello

Last summer I met a lot of South Africans through our work. Due to our Federal government cutting back the number of available foreign worker permits our resorts had to scramble to replace most of the usual Jamician workers. As a result many of the replacements were South Africans who were already in country working in Florida.

A common theme among them was that they were trying to work their way back to England, or at least out of South Africa. The common complaint seemed to be the violence, not a lack of love for their home land. Apparently there is a way to return to English citizenry if one has English ancestry?

Which leads to my curiousity. Are, or have, many fled South Africa in recent years? And is there a similar program for those of Dutch ancestry?

The human condition interests me. I recall the anti apartied shanty towns we had here in the mid 80's. Too, I would be interested in any internet links you might direct me too regarding your system of government, country or culture etc. Something like Oz's, whatthenumber.com If you know a good one.

Be safe. Montag
