it's already on the agenda.....been looking at hotel, flight, and festival info all day at work

I wanted to take my girl there this year but she won't be able to get the time off work (she's a teacher and spring break right around the corner).

Any other big festivals that you know about out there?

i found this online....http://www.africanbudgetsafaris.com/blog/11-must-do-african-music-festivals/#anchor_oppikoppi

That's dope....I'm still trying to get a group together to go to Cape but I'll roll solo. It'll be interesting since it's a lot of artist I've never taken the time to listen to and I only know Amel Larrieux who's the headliner. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get to go

Good fukkin weekend. Main Street art district was mad cool bad chicks everywhere. Too bad I was with a piece but she's official. Starting to find my way around. We all need to seriously link up and hit up a rooftop. They actually let me spin for 15 min. Had a real dope time. Definitely doing it again. Tinder is feeding me real well

@Lucky_Lefty This probably was already covered but what are race relations like out there? Is it true that there is a white genocide going on? And what about the rolling blackouts?

What's the work environment like out there in comparison to the west and what ethnic groups do you see regularly in S.Africa?

Any answers are appreciated

I'm pretty insulated to an extent but from what I stated earlier, it's all dependent on the age group. The older, the more they are willing to tell you their disgust and trust, they do, at length. I don't see that much disdain amongst the younger demo. They fully embrace the "rainbow nation" ideal. Now what I can say is, regardless of age, most whites that I correspond with distrust anything that this majority black government does. No different than the states. White folks can't accept anything a black person/people in charge issues. Where I live is majority Afrikaaner and you rarely, if ever, see any black folks dining out or walking around (unless they're servants). But whites have no reservations chillin at spots that are majority black. I know nothing about a white genocide but I do have a friend who's going to take me to an impoverished white township. I'm gonna take PLENTY of pics when I go thru there. Spent most of the weekend in Soweto and that shyt is jarring breh.

The blackouts have subsided this past week. My generator hasn't ran all this week (at least while I was home) so I don't know what happened with Eskom. We hit stage 3 for a couple of days a few weeks back and that was the worse for everyone that's around me. It was pitch black dark with the exception of my compound which was lit up like a Christmas tree. A piece of me feels bad for peeps that can't come home and cook after a long day cause the grid is all fukked up. Passing thru hoods where you see nothing but either candles lighting up homes or just nothing but darkness is spooky. Reminds me when I would visit my pops in Boca Chica.

I'm pretty much an ignorant American dudes but my girl broke it down to me this weekend about the difference in clan make up. Majority of folks I saw in Soweto were Zulu but she pointed out to me Tswana, Xhosa (very few, mostly EC), Sotho, Pedi, etc. they all black to me tho breh I do go out of my way to not offend anyone.

I really don't know about the work environment but these cats will go on strike at the drop of a hat.
