I got out 7 years ago. I took out a loan with FNB for 100K, my wife took out one with ABSA for 100K, then we both got on a plane and flew off into the sunset. I donโt feel bad. I donโt regret it.
We were young enough that the entire world was still eager to offer us visas and debt but my parents are still stuck there in their 60โs like you. No chance theyโll get out or get a visa to live anywhere else, and at the moment Iโm powerless to help and its eating me alive. Both keep telling me to forget about them and focus on my children, but every day I wait for the phone call to tell me theyโve become one of the statistics.
Itโs an amazing country like you said and itโll always be in my blood and bones, itโs just too bad it had to be plagued with the single most destructive race ever to walk the planet ๐ฆ
