So good

As I type this, I'm at the airport in Paris waiting for my flight to Joburg. I've just spent 80 days in Zurich and as I sit here, I'm reflecting on my time in Zurich and my future in South Africa 💭

Whenever I travel, I'm reminded of a powerful Thomas Sowell quote: “There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.”

On paper, there are many things wrong with South Africa. So many, in fact that I don't blame people for leaving. The last few weeks haven't been lekker on social media. So much anger, frustration, and resentment from all sides. It’s easy to feel like everything is broken.

From my vantage point, most people think that leaving South Africa is a solution, when really all they're doing is trading one set of pros and cons for another.

Whenever I'm away from South Africa, it becomes more clear to me that South Africans only grasp the intrinsic value of our beautiful country's overlooked qualities when we're on the other side of the world for a while. Once you've settled into a new country and the rose-tinted glasses come off, you'll start noticing the things you don't like there too.

And the reason why there's no right or wrong answer to leaving your home country is because the trade-offs are all relative. Asking someone else if they're happy they moved isn't going to answer the question directly for you.

As strange as it may sound, I actually encourage people to leave if they really want to. We live in a global world, and just because you're born somewhere doesn't mean you have to stay there forever.

My only advice is this: make sure you have compelling reasons to arrive in a new country. Running away from something will only make the move harder than it already is.

I don't blame anyone for wanting more from life. Sometimes a move will give you just that, and other times it will show you that you had the best of life at your fingertips all along.

The past three months in Zurich have reminded me that while South Africa has its challenges, it also has an abundance of things I deeply love; things that make my heart feel full in a way no other place can.

And so, as I board this flight home, I’m reminded that no country is without its problems (especially in Europe). All I know is, I want to be part of the solution back home and I hope you join me.

PS. I really can't wait to get my hair cut by a fellow South African either 🤣

“A wonderfully congenial group who live by a unique set of social standards.”
Evelyn Waugh
Exporting Joburgers

Image: ideogram.ai.
In Johannesburg, my local neighbourhood WhatsApp group is abuzz with water cuts-related updates. My friends in other parts of the city have no water, and have had no water for several days.

Every month, despite the government trumpeting of no load shedding, we go several days powerless as the local substation inevitably fails. Similar stories are rife.

Locals are pretty gatvol, with Joburg City officials getting chased out of town, and the City’s own debt raising the ire of Eskom.

Everyone’s a bit miffed, to say the least. With December looming – yes looming – large amid threats of water and power cuts, what’s happening in Joburg bears keeping in mind regardless of which province you’re in.

Joburgers as a people are considered pretty kiff folks, which is why we’ve sent so many to Cape Town in recent years, in the hopes that a collective shift in social dynamics goes from “what school did you go to?” to “how do you like your chops?”

We suffer in Jozi, so that the country may benefit from our thick-hided congeniality. You’re welcome. Please pay us back in water and inverters.
