    South Africans think people are thinking about South Africa. To be honest, only South Africans are talking about South Africans, the propaganda Newzroom Africa could have gotten a non South African to interview, but they didn’t. If you want the truth, the truth is SA thinks it’s bigger than what it truly is !!!!

      You are exactly right my friend... I have worked all over the world...Most people (I would say 99% of all people) do not think nor speak about South Africa AT ALL.... Most people do not even know where South Africa is....

      ​@@Macedonia270Thats a big lie, the first place people think off when they think Africa or any development in Africa is SA, this is a country that hosted many world cups but however, people don't wake up and think of SA just like any other country accept very few countries like USA, China & Russia. People in every country are not thinking of other countries and the 3 I mentioned, people only think of them in specific issues. Like we think of USA when we think of wars & we think of China when we think of growth

      @@lozi4163 My friend, you should really try to get out more.... 99% of the population of the world have never heard of rugby, much less seen a match... They may have heard of South Africa when the world cup football was hosted here, but they mostly heard that we bribed FIFA in order to get it.
      Most people think of South Africa as often as like you might think of Myanmar, or Paraguay....Insignificant, you don't really know where it is, what they do...and you don't give a hoot either....

      @@Macedonia270 Nope, wrong, 2010 world cup is among the most memorable world cups in history, not the best but most def in top 4 or 5. This was not expected from any African country. Nelson Mandela is among the most famous people in the world. Africa is a continent and when people think of Africa, SA comes first. you cant down play that but ofcorse people in any country don't wake up and think of SA just like everywhere, people don't wake up and think of other countries, this is not exceptional to SA. SA is also a global key player for Africa, been the only African member of BRICS for a long time until this year and also been on G20. With the rise of Amapiano, many people have been copying SA dance moves and adopting Amapiano. Many people know cape town as well, so you cant come here with your resentments towards SA and now want to turn your bitter opinions to reality. SA is a key player in the globe to a certain extend and few people do know SA. This year alone, many people across the world were talking about SA support for Palestine as well. I get it, you have your own issues with SA, every loser does but you are stretching it

You are probably employing illegal immigrants because you don't have to pay them a minimum wage.
