:smt043 No, I live in Sandton. Have you been to Soweto? It has undergone a major facelift and there is alot of tangible positive change going on there. Obviously it's not in the same league as most of the suburban areas such as Sandton but the development is worth noticing.
I have not been to SA in my life I read about it and did not know about the Apartheid system until I saw the segreagated sign on a Cape Town beach photo weeks before the Soweto riots.
