just trying to break into online things!















Cecil John Rhodes is single-handledly responsible for the fruit business in South Africa. Towards his death (1902), he bought 2 240 hectares of land in Western Cape, planted 200 000 fruit trees & hired California-trained fruit farm managers from the US and UK. He had the same vision for the Nyanga area of Zimbabwe, where he also bought land. His company in South Africa is still one of the largest employers in that country. @matigary @Mavhure @mimmitwit










Here’s an interesting fact: My friend in Korea on a work visa, and it’s valid for one year. Every year, she has to prove to Korean immigration that she is still medically fit, that she haven’t committed any crimes during that year, and that she is still employed in order for them to renew her visa. They will only renew her visa if she can prove that she is of good use to their country. Furthermore, if during that year she decide to move from her apartment to a new one for any reason, she has 14 days to go back to immigration and inform them that she have changed her address. If she is even a day late and go on day 16, she will have to pay a fine, which can cost anything from R2,000 to R13,000. As a South African, she is also not allowed to participate in any protests happening in the country. If there is a crowd of Korean people protesting for whatever reason, she cannot be found in that crowd because she could be deported. Before she got her Korean ID, she wasn’t even able to own a korean cellphone number or even order anything online. She is therefore in this country legally, and she makes sure that she abide by their laws because she know that if she doesn't, she will be sent back home with no negotiations. Does this mean Korea is xenophobic? No. This is a country making sure that its citizens and the country itself are protected. A country making sure that guests know their place! Why are South Africans being made to feel bad for wanting the same thing?
