I work for one of the biggest mines in the country and we had to close down 2 shafts and 8 of the other shafts could only operate at 90%.<br /><br />Oh by the way before you call me a racist white, I came to your site with the hope their might be some light hearted entertainment mocking South Africans about being so serious, but instead, you are no different than all those "racists" you supposedly joke about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-91474304233691100282009-10-22T11:17:39.146+02:002009-10-22T11:17:39.146+02:00can assure you that your concern for my sense of p...can assure you that your concern for my sense of perspective is unwarranted.

I have only the urge to stop this culture of needless pessimist and neurotic alarmism that is eatin away at the psyche of our country. It truly is unique to this country that so many people living lives of utter luxury and privelege would feel so disgruntled. Often it takes endearing the terrible state of affairs in a country like the UK to appreciate how good we have it here.The Roosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969529144574975152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-55691122250706545102009-10-22T11:14:37.052+02:002009-10-22T11:14:37.052+02:00Firstly, I don't think it's fair to just i...Firstly, I don't think it's fair to just include your “middle class” pals in a comparison so lets stick to average.<br /><br />The average wage PA in South Africa (let's say urban for the sake of fair play) is R170603<br />http://www.payscale.com/research/ZA/Country=South_Africa/Salary/by_City<br />That's roughly £12637<br /><br />The average wage PA in UK (including rural for benefit of the doubt) is £24908 <br /><br />http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=285<br /><br />That's about 50% less.<br /><br />-----------------<br /><br /><br />Firstly it's very fair for me to include my friends because they are typical middle classed WHITE South africans....not RICH by any version of the word. This s a niche site that aims it's crosshairs at moaning white people wh have built up a myth that their are somehow victims while they live like kings. And no...white South Africans do not average a making a measly freaking 1.5K GBP a month !! Pull the other one my friend !<br /><br />Secondly even if you want to use the average South African income and if indeed it is only half then I propose to you the cost of living is way less than half ! Bring back a stat and show me the averae cost of a bond on a house in the UK please and then let's talk. Or how about the cost of just going out for a meal. Or taxes.

Many of which will be owned by smiling whitey.”<br /><br />Industry looking to cut costs because of increased utility prices invariable offset that cost by laying off staff (as we see so often). Those same unemployed staff will now be upsetting “smiling whitey” as their disposable income drops to zero. <br />I'm not saying that increasing free energy to the poor by 45% is a bad idea (I think it is a noble effort) but saying that this course of action will benefit the economy is not entirely correct. People need jobs and opportunity to prosper and handouts will always be a secondary concern.<br /><br />“But no...julle fokken suur bekke !

The middle classed South African in no way earns only 46% of a middle classed UK citizen. In fact after taxes, relative cost of living etc the middle class South African is far better off and I've written about this extensively. In fact 2.5k GBP is a passable salary in the UK where as here almost everyone I know would scoff at such an income. There's just very little competition here for someone with any type of skill and of course our economy has been growing faster and for a longer period that just about anywhere other than south korea in the world.....EVER! The recession has of course pissed on the party but we'll come super tubing out of it in no time. <br /><br />I can understand pessimism about crime but pessimism about quality of life ?Come the fuck on !
