Is South Africa a rich country?

[LUNN]

Alot of what we get to see on TV about the place makes it seem to have first world standards, so can it be classified as a wealthy nation? they even offer immigration.

It is one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Told ya you would like it...............

LUNN just dont bring your 15 year old virgin sister there. 90% of the local with the HIV/AIDS virus think that having sex with a virgin will cure them.


No Virgin Airline jokes here.........

sounds interesting kcmh! What else do you know? (and please make it quick before this thing gets locked)

[kcmh]

I think the thread starter was asking more about their urban economy though... I'm sure this would be a minority, if any, in urban centres

I dunno, I've read alot about SA and although they do have a fairly problematic HIV epidemic (28% of the population affected) I have not heard of this strange practice.

Maybe if we stopped refusing to send condoms and family planning information to Africa in general they would be a little better off.

i would have to say, cape town is one of the nicest cities i have ever been to(nicer than alot of US cities i have been in), and it seemed to be pretty well off from what i saw(i was in the area, spacificaly namibia and batswana, for a moth, and they did not seem as bad as most people make them out to be). but yes, i loved south africa, and just so you guys know, CPT and JNB have extremely nice, clean, and well designed airports.
