I am so deeply disturbed by this video… What kind of government partners with foreigners to give them an economy that has been the livelihood of many South African families ever since the beginning of time???! How cruel are these ppl to use our own tax money against us??
@VFeured@MuloiwaThendo But the rental income you referring to at R12K per month is actually off set by the Bond cost of about R13,750 per month, plus R2500 of levies and about R800 of rates. So the owner had been making a loss of about R4000 per month for the past 9 years.

"I'm Big Joe. 58. Long-haul trucker.
Been driving 18-wheelers for 34 years. Sleep in my cab. Eat at truck stops. Talk on CB radio to stay awake.
Lonely job. But someone's gotta move America's stuff.
Two years ago, I'm driving through Nebraska. 2 a.m. See a car pulled over. Hazards on.
Woman standing outside. Looking scared.
I pulled over. She backed away when she saw me. I'm 6'4", 280 pounds, covered in tattoos. I get it.
"Ma'am, I'm not stopping to hurt you. I'm stopping to help. What's wrong?"
Her car died. Phone dead. She'd been there three hours. Nobody stopped.
"Where you headed?"
"Hospital. Omaha. My daughter's in emergency surgery. I have to get there."
No hesitation. "Get in. I'll take you."
"In your truck?"
"Safest vehicle on this highway."
She hesitated. Then got in.
Drove her 60 miles out of my way. Got her there in time. She hugged me hard.
"Nobody stops anymore," she cried. "Thank you for seeing me."
Got back on the road. Couldn't stop thinking about it.
Got on the CB. Told other truckers. "We see everything out here. We should do something."
Started a code. "Code Angel" we call it. When truckers see someone broken down, stranded, in trouble, we stop. We help.
Word spread. Truckers across the country joined.
Last year, we helped 1,200 people. Dead batteries. Out of gas. Medical emergencies. Domestic violence victims escaping. Runaways needing safe transport to shelters.
We've got a network now. Truckers, CB radio, truck stops. Someone needs help? We mobilize.
Saved six lives last year. People broken down in dangerous spots. Diabetics in crisis. A kidnapping victim we spotted and reported.
But here's my favorite story.
Last month, I'm at a truck stop. Young kid approaches me. Maybe 19. Scared.
"Are you Big Joe?"
"Yeah."
"You know how to ride in a truck?"
His eyes filled. "You'd help me?"
"That's what we do."
I didn't go to San Francisco. But I got him to a trucker who was. She took him the rest of the way.
He made it. Safe.
Now there's 4,000 truckers in Code Angel. We've got an app. Dispatchers. Resources.
News called us "Guardian Angels of the Highway."
But we're just truckers. Doing what's right.
That woman in Nebraska? Her daughter survived surgery. She sends me Christmas cards every year.
The kid I helped? He's in college now. Studying social work. Says he wants to help invisible people like truckers helped him.
I'm Big Joe. I drive a truck. Sleep in parking lots. Smell like diesel.
But I learned something.
The loneliest roads are where people need help most. And the scariest-looking people are sometimes the ones who stop.
So tomorrow, if you break down, if you're stranded, if you're running from something bad,
Look for the trucks. We're watching. We're listening.
We might look rough. But we'll get you home.
Because the highway doesn't have to be lonely.
Not when 4,000 truckers refuse to drive past people in trouble."

They are creating imaginary shortages to justify hiring foreigners. There is currently a surplus of teachers in this country. Millions of educators are unemployed, actively looking for teaching positions! Stop this nonsense.
@Oriana_RSA They are not appealing (at least those that are here in RSA). Other than that, even when we go to Nigeria, it’s strictly for business reasons and duly return home within 3 days
