South Africans Abroad (SAFFAs) Abandoned By ANC Regime! Some Even Stuck in Foreign Jails, Unable To Get Documents From SA Embassies or Home Affairs!

When perusing the many online groups for communities of South Africans abroad, it soon becomes clear that the one single biggest problem for SA Expats (SAFFAs), or just those visiting or  travelling abroad, is getting Documentation or Identification from SA Embassies (DIRCO) or even Home Affairs back home! In many cases this documentation is vital in order to travel or remain legally abroad. Yes, we all know, and joke, that South Africa is now a barely functioning failed state, but to be told in an official communication by an SA Embassy, that you would have to wait up to THREE YEARS for a birth certificate, is, to put it bluntly, criminal! The Embassy even went so far as to recommend asking family back home to do it for you! Remind us again why we have a “government” and pay taxes?

It is hard enough, if not near impossible nowadays, to get out of SA, but most SAFFAs abroad have also come across their fair share of road blocks and frustrations, when dealing with ad

How to find work in Ireland

Boasting low unemployment and a great economy, Ireland is a nice place to be if you’re looking for work.

There are so many ways to go about finding a job from within Ireland that your search should hopefully turn up plenty of options that fit your circumstances.

So you are thinking of getting married in Ireland, here is what you need to know

With its beautiful cathedrals, castles, and landscapes, Ireland is an idyllic spot for a wedding. Whether you’re a resident or just visiting, getting married in the Emerald Isle is a straightforward process open to anyone.

Registering your marriage
You can make the Irish wedding of your dreams a reality with a little bit of preparation and paperwork. The process is the same whether you are a local or foreign couple, religious or secular. The only legal requirements are that both members of the couple are age 18 or above, not currently married to anyone else, and the relationship must be genuine (i.e. not intended for visa purposes only).

During the meeting the couple must be present, and if needed, an interpreter can also attend. Notice can be given to any Registrar; however, if you plan to marry in a civil ceremo

100,000 Whites flee anti-white South Africa as over ten times more Africans arrive from Africa, DESPITE “xenophobia”

An estimated total of 95,158 whites have left South Africa since 2011, according to a new Statistics SA report released on Thursday.

According to the 2015 mid-year population estimates, in the same period 1,067,937 Africans and 40,929 Asians migrated to South Africa.

The figures took into account total departures and total arrivals over the period.

Statistician-general Pali Lehohla, speaking at the release of the 2015 mid-year population estimates in Pretoria, suggested that while Stats SA had not done any migration studies, it could be assumed the estimates were influenced by employment opportunities.

“It can be assumed and working from theory, migrants tend to go where there is employment and looking at the age structure of Gauteng, you can conclude reasonably well it’s because of the supposed job opportunities that are there, that migrants are coming in,” he said.

Touching on white migration, Lehohla said there was a trend among white children,
