Brian Warwick, an expat currently living in the UK wishes to add his comments on President Zuma's olive branch to expatriates.

For my own thoughts on that particular story I feel that he should sort out the problems that are causing/have caused people to leave in the first place i.e. crime, corruption and employment discrimination (AA and BEE) as already commented on by others. It doesn't help to get the skilled back into the country if nobody is allowed to employ them. Until he resolves those he will simply have to wait and see if we get fed up with the lousy weather.

It wouldn't hurt to sort out basic services like electricity supply and document processing (or bureaucracy in general) either.

Personally I feel it will take at least a generation for the education system to (hopefully) bring a level of common sense and long term goals to the population at large, rather than the 'take it while you can' attitude that seems prevalent now.

Interesting that he targets the Jewish specifically in his 'out-reach', this implies that the rest of us can’t be that important anyway, and don’t seem to have contributed in the past. Does he think that 0.2 percent of the population can save the rest?

business@iafrica.com reader Azania gets very worked up when expat Brain Warwick and the like-minded think it's the end of the world when they taste 'suffering'. Read his comments here.
