Highheels, no doubt the legacy of apartheid still hangs omninously over our country and the redress needs to be addressed with more vigour and urgency but this thread is about what we love about our country. Maybe you should start another thread, "what i hate about South Africa" ?

You taking it the wrong way, what we love about the country is a huge unifier regardless of economic position everyone loves similar things. There is absolutely no country like SA in the world. It's easy to say we love what we love without acknowledging the fragility of what is happening in the country and yet we all appreciate the same things.

What about

Malva pudding
Runners
Kaiings
Braaiday (24/9) met "Eish".

What about our wines?
Or brandy or brutal fruit.
Yes I'm a foody.
We do have the best meat in the world.
And who won't miss biltong!?
My mother tongue - language (afrikaans).

Yes we live in a beautiful country...but it's people don't appreciate what we have and take this life for granted.
Let's pray something will be left of our country for our next generation.
