A good friend of mine lives in RSA. We once talked about racial violence during the waning days of apartheid when there was much talk of things exploding in Soweto.

He told me that he was only exposed to racial violence once. He was escorting a lady of mixed heritage through a park in Joberg when a group of AWB pinheads chased them a distance.

As a white person, he said he felt safer in the townships than around some of the wingnut Boers...

Lots of South Africans have moved to Ipswich, "English", Black and Afrikaaner.
I get on fine with all I know, including a teacher, rugby coaches and some mates. Also my visit to South Africa was very enjoyable and scary. We went to a party in a town called Vryheid (in Natal), a black boy who we knew took us to the house because he knew the way better than us and took us back. When at the party all the Afrikaaners were really nive to us, then we noticed that the black boy was sitting in a corner by himself, talking to no-one. We asked one of the Afrikaaner girls why he wasn't drinking and talking. Her reply was scary, "because he's is a dirty fucking Kaffir". So much for the new South Africa.
