Know that we are very interested in SA, what it has to offer and investing in the people. Collaborations are in the works. Again, we are ONE and it's time we work together in UNITY.

    The AAs are building relations with Sans the right way through dialogue and mutual respect. At least we are learning who they are, outside of artificial glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, and what they are about. They dont come to the country unannounced with disrespectful preconceived ideas about local people. They are prepared to learn who we are as a people and what makes us tick. This is a recipe for long lasting people to people relations. Our continental brothers can learn a thing or two from AAs on how to build relations with local people. Thanks to The Real South Africa for bringing our brothers and sisters to the continent to see that Africa is not about disease, poverty and dispair. It would be appreciated if TRSA could nudge engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs/not hawkers, and scientist to move to the country to help rebuild our battered economy. South Africa has a lot to offer.

    Bra Mark you and your wife are working hard to promote SA to African Americans and you are making me as a South African feel embarrassed. Your ancestors who could not return to the continent must be smiling and filled with joy. Surely they will bless you because you are doing a great job. You are indeed one of us now and South Africa is your home too.

The Dubai hype is also propped by the West because they buy or have some doggy oil deals with Dubai.

Africans Americans speak English as their first language most South Africans wants that accent, and best education etc....
