In 1974 my wife and I took the overnight train from Pretoria to Cape Town, ( did we go through De Aar? ). Wonderful journey. So sad to read of all these changes to what should be a wonderful country. So much promise, and such disappointment. So very sad.
I almost overslept through my train's arrival in Cologne after an overnight journey from Prague. When I awoke, after all the other passengers had left, I saw the conductor come into my compartment, and I hastily gathered all my belongings, out of fear of having them tossed out the window after having seen the end of this railway journey!
This is how it is in South Africa now, what used to be a hilarious training film is now reality - everywhere you go. A country gone to the dogs....
Can you spel sh*thole?
Lol. So true. Just the stars are now black. Lol.
Yeah dogs like Trevor Noah and Loyiso Gola who appreciated by white audiences who are not racist from America.
It was Clinton who destroued ZA, though not in the same way he would destroy Serbia in 1999.

"Please take a seat sir, this could take some time…"
Great. Makes me feel like discovering South Africa by train right now. ;-)
And this was in 1995. Today I'd rather walk to Durban.
Today you would have to!
