I want to reiterate u/scrummin 's remark. If we collectively gather resources, is there any way we can help? I don't want to sound negative but I feel like the time has come. It's all gone and I don't see it coming back. The slow boil has finally caught up with ZA and it is now undeniable. Normalcy bias is a real bastard. No empty BS, if you need help let me know how I can do so. I don't know your background, age, or abilities, or anything about immigration for that matter but there are people willing to try and help. Is an Educational Visa for nursing or law enforcement and option? There are severe shortages in both of these areas where I live and with nursing, they are bringing in Filipino nurses by the thousands. Law enforcement can't seem to staff and there is a wage war ongoing between the local agencies trying to snipe each other's officers and deputies. Teachers are in short supply as are many positions in skilled trades.
