Blyk of 'n joernalis by BBC so dink:
I have just got back from a few days on South Africa's Wild Coast – a remote stretch of spectacular coastline about four hours' drive south of Durban.
I will not bore you with the holiday snaps, but here are a few random reflections before I race off to Bloemfontein for the governing African National Congress's upcoming centenary celebrations.This is a preposterously beautiful country. There is no better way to remind yourself of that than to drive for almost 2,000km (1242 miles) and watch South Africa flaunt its outrageous curves.
The people who moan about potholes on Johannesburg's radio phone-in programmes have no sense of perspective. We encountered one short stretch of bad road on our entire journey.
It was helpfully signposted "warning - potholes ahead".
Africa may still be infrastructure poor, but this country's road system is world class.
Mens verstaan geensins hoekom Afrikaanses altoos SA probeer afmaak as die kakste en swakste ter wêreld in letterlik alles nie, dit, terwyl hulle nog nie eens buite hulle eie toilette al was nie!
Ek stem 100% saam met die BBC-joernalis – SA is eenvoudig wêreldklas!
Moet net nie met wittes praat in SA nie, en jy is in die paradys!!
Hoekom kan die ra(a)ssiste SA nie uitlos en uitwyk nie?
Te lekka in die vleespotte huh!
