AMAZING SOUTH AFRICA.... HOWEVER!

South Africa is said to be one of the greatest countries. There is so much to see and marvel about. Unfortunately, I have only been to Pretoria (the capital city), Johannesburg (the commercial city
Mandela square which is a must see for all who visit SA fortunately lies in a small city between Joburg and Pretoria called Sandton.

The shopping malls, transportation systems, mines, drive-thru restaurants, parks plus the orderliness are extra-ordinary.
It’s too ordered that cars actually stop at the STOP SIGN. People make lines to get into the taxis…first come, first serve. AMAZING!

Uganda teaches us none of these; In fact, the Country Motto should change to ‘Everyone for his own God for us all’. There is so much of hassling in the Pearl of Africa.

During my first week I adventured round with an acquaintance that happened to come from Uganda. She was a business lady so she had been in SA a number of times… anyways; it was all too abnormal at times that we found ourselves wanting to go ahead of the line.
I accidentally went ahead of some gentleman in one of the shops… but the man told me in a polite voice that He had come before me…. My…my…my! It’s been long since I experienced such order.

The public transportation system is absolutely remarkable. And I’m comparing this with Uganda and Kenya. The South African Matatus have no taxi conductors…. One gets into a taxi, then money is collected from the back to the front. I mean you send your money forward and amazingly expect that your change will be passed-back to you by the passengers.
The people use words like four… in other words, four people have paid from the back seat, then three… or two. In that case if you happened to be the co-driver… it is your responsibility to see that everyone has paid the right amount then hand the money over to the driver.

In other words, if your mathematics scores are below average don’t bother sitting in the front. Ha-ha

How then can this country have a high Crime rate with so much order in its system?

Then again i ask, is South Africa ready to host the world cup?????
Through my obseravations.... PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S OK TO SMILE AND GREET PEOPLE DESPITE OF THEIR ORIGIN.

Hans Hoffmann says it best; "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."
