I was having drinks with close friends from South Africa last night. They are visiting for Christmas, with an eye to move here. He is Cdn, she is SA.
The shooting came up as well as the "armed guards" comments. It was interesting to hear their take.
SA is a violent place. His wife just looked at me and said "that is the very reason we want to move from SA".
She mentioned how every school in SA, has walls, barb wire and armed guards.....
