There isolated world has a negative impact on their transition into the reality of the demographics within South Africa. A priority to me is that my children DO NOT attend a school that is majority white, and the vice chancellor expressed the same thoughts which I have.<br />Mariapaolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157601298864474262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616038505179573483.post-54786875705426459802012-07-05T04:58:18.385-07:002012-07-05T04:58:18.385-07:00Thanks for the response Kate...It is really great ...Thanks for the response Kate...It is really great to hear what people think of my works, my views...let me know what you think of The Mlungu Islands of SA...Ciao for now!Mariapaolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157601298864474262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616038505179573483.post-88007496021139058082012-06-19T04:19:02.697-07:002012-06-19T04:19:02.697-07:00I really enjoy your paper work MP.

South Africans have a tendency to idealise anywhere else and only see the the negative in their own country. We have far to go and people are starting to get angry! With reason in my mind. People are still poor, still uneducated, still living without water, without electricity while others live in luxury...the extremities in this country between rich and poor are shocking. More shocking is the wealthy dismissing the whole thing!Mariapaolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157601298864474262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616038505179573483.post-5763124985000034432012-05-24T03:56:45.444-07:002012-05-24T03:56:45.444-07:00LOVE.

I often feel so privileged that the time I spent in your place was only 3-4 years into the 'new' SA.. such a tenuous time! I recall one host I had telling me that Australia had 'done things right' and I reminded him that 200 years post occupation (with a whole side of genocide thrown in), we were still trying to figure things out.
