      At my last job we had a sales contact that lived in South Africa (he’s white). At one point a few years ago he dropped off the radar, and we finally heard from him about 6 months later. He had picked up his family and moved to England. Left most of their possessions, abandoned the house, etc. He said things were getting too lawless and felt they had to leave immediately.

      I also have a friend who’s from South Africa (also white) who has most of her family back in South Africa, and the stories I hear are chilling. I don’t know this, but it seems like things have been going downhill fast for the past 5 or 6 years now (faster than before).
