    90 – Sharky, That was tough time for me. He was such a good person. Miss him. Was more rugby mad than me..LOL. Miss him when I go to the Tank we always went together.

    This conversation is really getting a bit silly guys. I was never saying that the crime in SA is not a problem. You guys are all coming with crime stories. Not what i was talking about guys. Let me give you an example of what i mean. The world cup is coming soon. Many people overseas have the impression that they will be risking their lives to attend and visit SA. I say to them that with reasonable precautions it will be a safe and great experience. The other side says that tourist shouldn’t come because they will be slaughtered in the streets. REASON guys!!!!!!!!!

    @ sharky You are taking it out of context mate. It’s not all black or all white. I never said SA is paradise on earth! I don’t say there are no problems. On the other hand it’s not hell on earth either. There’s a lot of grey in between, that’s what i’m saying. And no, i’m not young sharky, it’s just the nick 🙂
