Well, since Apartheid ended and the ANC started to govern South Africa has deteriorated!xard777 wrote: Tue Sep 19, 2023 10:33 pm On a side note,
I finished reading the new Elon Musk hardcover book at the weekend. Good read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to everyone out there..
There was a piece in it where Elon's dad Errol Musk talks about the blacks in SA wanting the white man out of the country and he says "if the whites leave that the blacks will go back to the trees" and everyone that I mention it to says that it was racist of him to say that.
1) We suffer daily load-shedding
2) The railways don't function and when they do your belongings and life are at risk.
3) The postal system has practically collapsed.
4) Murders, robberies and rape occur so often that one has become desensitized to it!
5) SAA (our once proud flagship airline) went bankrupt!
6) Unemployment has increased
7) Corruption is endemic
7) and on and on...
Yet, South Africa is a wonderfully beautiful country with friendly welcoming people. A rich history and a variety of cuisine not found anywhere else (biased opinion of course
)It's taken them 30 years to truly F%$K up the country. Let's hope it does NOT take that long to fix all these problems.
XARD: I truly believe that it is irreversible, get yourself to Australia or even Bangkok (yes, I know people relate to Pattaya as being pedoland but there is more to it than that), a better way of life is out there waiting for you.
Try IG Bank S.A. (Switzerland) - Products and Services (thebanks.eu)
Open a Swiss IG bank account with say $500 (you can increase this amount after everything is working).
Then Use $300 from the Swiss IG Bank to open a Swiss IG Bank trading account which uses MT4.
Trade the account for a couple of weeks then withdraw some profits that you make back to your Swiss bank account.
You should have a Swiss world debit card that you can use without extra charges.
After that just load up and trade using a laptop from a rented apartment in Bangkok and on Speedtest.net the speed is 700mb down and 700mb up. A decent 24hr securty 35th floor 2 bedrm apt with rooftop pool and two floor gymnasium is around $600 per month rent. Also, Bangkok is Zero Capital Tax on your trades. That alone should make you move.
