WITH reference to the letter from Trots Ozzie, I would like to say that I also emigrated to Dubai this year due to the fact that our government could not keep the crime rate under control and also the fact that drugs are so freely available.
I miss Paarl very much and I will return one day, should circumstances be better financially and socially.
In the past many athletes missed out because they were not allowed to wear South African colours and many people do not have careers because they were not allowed to enter a university.
So, do not use affirmative action as an excuse to justify leaving South Africa.
It is easy to point fingers at our new government without seeing the effect of the decision one man made 40 years ago to give everything to one race group. Ruan Julius
