Emotionally drained, also trying to get both my sons out. Predominantly white youth are not being employed, reverse apartheid at it's worse, unless you have friends able to assist. Our Indian youth also making the move, as are many young black educated Africans who no longer wish to be part of this mayhem.

The link you found is not one I am familiar with, most will advocate for the link I have given as looting through government is rife, many climb on gravy train with disasters.
Thanks for kind words during trying times, a beautiful country I call home even when ones soul is crying for peace and stability!
I wish you and all of your loved ones a safe journey as you make your way out of an untenable situation.
Thank you very much for the correct information. The very last thing that I would want to do would to see a gift end up in the wrong hands.
Keep your head down and stay safe my friend!
Slowly starting to get water, electricity has been a problem over here for the last 14 years, mending people not sure if possible.
Learn from previous blatant theft many no longer trust government and yes the link I have shared is the only place I support and have done over the years. For wildlife I support another trusted organization where government no longer supports them at all!
We assist where able, stay off the roads allowing services access to repair, thanks once again for thoughts and kind words.
So many people feel as you do, as it gets harder everyday to trust government officials that are supposed to serve the people. The reality of the situation is that most of them just care about lining their pockets.
It's good to see that some of the services are up and running.
Slowly but surely water is starting to get through to outer regions.
Ugly problems raising it's head in many regions of the world.
Always hopeful of a better tomorrow for the sake of all.
