Another in our series about Lovely Crime Free Britain

Yes, I know you’ve all heard the stories: South Africa is so full of crime, that the only sane recourse is to run away to dear old England where the Queen will keep you safe.
O RLY?
Before you terrified little people all run like a herd of stampeding pigs for Britain, please read this article:
Teenagers attack police officers who asked girl to pick up litter
Ja, so two cops axed (sic) a teenie girl ever so nicely to pick up her damn trash, and the next moment, they were surrounded by 30 aggressive teenies and two Limey men aged in their 30s who set about giving them two Limey coppers a thorough beating up.
Oh god, I would love to see this whole scene suddenly and magically transported to New York City, and then ten minutes later, do the body count.
Very funny article. I loved it. I especially loved the Limey commenter (on the article) writing from Russia telling ‘em that he moved out of Britain 30 years ago when he saw how the place was going. Get this, he fled Limey land for Russia in 1978! He preferred the Communist USSR over Britain. Hahaha!
And poor deluded South Africans are running TO Britain to escape crime, when for the past 30 years, Limeys have been running AWAY from Britain because of the crime.
That’s the problem with us South Africans – always at least 10 years behind everyone else.

Cape Town news welcomes Gerrie Hugo to our blog roll
Posted on November 3rd, 2007 by Richard Catto 1,550 views
Gerrie Hugo is a South African living in Sweden.
You may not like everything he writes because he is scathingly critical of South Africa, especially in regards the lack of personal safety due to crime, that weighs heavily on him.
However, he writes well. You will get a jaundiced view of South Africa, but also an intelligent and articulate one, like his recent article, Shooting the Bull, in which he satirises Mbeki’s authorised biography "Fit to Govern: The Native Intelligence of Thabo Mbeki" by Ronald Suresh Roberts.
Hugo produces for us, his own list of politicians and humorously rates their fitness to govern in terms of how well they can shoot (marksmanship):
Nelson Mandela — will always be number one sniper to be deployed in the most desperate of situations when one needs to get the job done. He can name his price.
Swedish Politicians — can be left alone as they will hit the target 50% of the time, adhere to safety regulations and spend the rest of the time in meetings discussing the merit of each and every shot fired. They are also very fond of special committees where some more discussing can be done and therefore worth their salaries.
Robert Mugabe — to be terminated with extreme prejudice as he could not hit any target and thus decided to blow up all the shooting ranges. He is still armed. Sulking and sitting in the middle of fuck-all, looking for a target. Name your price to cull this abhorrent viral strain.
Thabo Mbeki — can not be allowed close to any shooting range as he failed the entry exam for eight consecutive years. He is yet to hit a cow’s arse with a double-barrelled shotgun at five feet. And yet he earns almost R 2 million annually.
I think I am going to enjoy reading his future blog posts, and I invite Cape Town news readers to join me there. In fact, I hope Gerrie will deploy feedburner to manage his RSS feeds and also allow readers to subscribe to a daily email digest of them, which is my preferred method of RSS feed consumption these days.

The trouble with white South Africans is …
Posted on October 24th, 2007 by Richard Catto 19,345 views
The trouble with white South Africans is that they suffer from a distinct LACK of white guilt. The reason is that they are racist to the bone. The more loudly that they protest that they are not racist, the more certain it is that they are. An absence of white guilt and / or taking pride in the fact that they are white is conclusive proof that they are bad to the bone racist scum.
Let’s get this straight once and for all – white South Africans, ALL OF US, were responsible for Apartheid. Every single last one of us. Even if you joined Umkhonto we Sizwe and attacked a white church with hand grenades and assault rifles, you, just by being WHITE, were an intrinsic part of the problem.
Apartheid was YOUR fault. It was MY fault. It was OUR fault.
And it is high time that we stopped denying this, minimising this and wishing it away. It will never go away. It is just the way things are.
South Africa’s unemployment rate is pushing 40% and it has one of the world’s highest murder rates. But analysts agree that white South Africans are still relatively cushioned from such hardships.
- White South Africans fail to win asylum in US
Observe the bleating of white South African racists (above), shit scared that blacks are gonna kill them. Why are they so scared? Because WHITE South Africans are corporately responsible for all the deaths of all the black South Africans who died as a result of Apartheid.
Did you serve in the SADF (South African Defence Force) or SAP (South African Police) during the Apartheid era? I did. I carried a rifle in a township. I oppressed black people. I assisted the SAP who brutally attacked, beat, arrested, tortured and killed black people who just wanted to be FREE. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t do it myself or that I never fired a shot in anger. Mea culpa. I did that, because I was there, with a gun, prepared to kill on demand of my country.
And now today, because I speak out and confront my fellow white South Africans whenever I see racial bias in favour of whites, these white South Africans can’t understand why I’m doing this. They regard me as a traitor, as if I swore a holy oath of fealty to unconditionally support the interests of the white race group JUST BECAUSE I AM WHITE.
WRONG!
I owe white South Africans dick shit. My loyalty is not towards white South Africans, my loyalty is to SOUTH AFRICANS.
Don’t ask me, like white South African racist NeilO did, “what race are you?” because my race is completely irrelevant.
Honestly, I don’t know why white South Africans expect me to buy into the insanity of their racism just because I share with them a white skin. Perhaps they’re so accustomed to being surrounded by white racists that it comes as a complete shock to them to meet a fellow white person who doesn’t instinctively support their self-serving bullshit?
Listen up white South African racists – I AM NOT ON YOUR SIDE. I bat for the other team.
