No Sympathy please.....
I'm finding this very difficult to type but I think its only fair that I inform the friends who have and had faith in me as to why I left for so long. It has been a difficult time for me and still is.
I went to South Africa to spend time with my sisters because they were both ill. I am glad though that I had the opportunity of being there when both left to be with their maker.
I had other commitments to fulfill while I was there so stayed longer than I was expected to. My time there wasn't a very pleasant one. South Africa isn't the same home I left behind nearly twenty years ago. Zuma was right when he said "If you don't like crime, then don't come to South Africa."
God help the next person who leads that country. Hopefully it won't be Zuma!!
I was robbed and beaten at gun point by three men. Till now, the police have never found the culprits. Not only did I lose of my worldly possessions but my dignity too. I won't bother giving details as to what colour the men were that tortured me by hanging me with my hands tied together from the roof of a derelict building. All they wanted to know was the pin number of all my bank cards although they had already taken the 6000pounds I had on me and all the jewelry I was wearing at the time. I endured the pain the put me under because I believed that justice would be served. God was with me and He saved me. I was released after they realised that I was never going to tell them anything because they had knocked me un-conscience, after all a half dead person can't speak.
I still have business in South Africa as well as family so saying that I will never go back would be an understatement. I do know now that it isn't wise to advertise what you have for fear of being mugged or even killed for something you worked hard for.
Anyway, enough of the sad story. My ex and my went to fetch me and also got to meet my family. They loved them and wish to visit again. I'm abit wary of that but will do anything to keep my happy, just this time I will make sure that we only stay in the safe zones.
I'm glad and happy to be home!!!

I did try getting in touch with you but you didn't answer. Life wasn't always like that back in the day when I lived there but with the new regime lots of things have changed. My hoo is always invisible but you can always hit me up if you want. Thanks for your support. Love Always xxx

Phew, you are so so fortunate to have survived from the grips of those savages. It is so so sad that beautiful South Africa is so out of control as a result of mismanagement, greed and corruption.
Whilst i do return to vivit my mom, i am always happy to return to where i stay as freedom is a human right and cannot be valuated.

Yes I am, thank you. I've had so much to deal with in 2008 that I'm sure 2009 will be a great year for me and so far everything is going well. When I do decide to return home I will probably stick to Cape Town rather than Port Elizabeth although I did buy a house out in Blue Water Bay as a holiday home. Hopefully it won't be so bad this time round. Thank you for coming by

Thank you for coming by. I missed you and wanted your advice on letting me know where I was going wrong with so much happening to me that I'm starting to think I'm a jinx and maybe ...never mind, was going to say something I might regret later. Life is too short to be filled with evil thoughts and regrets. I'll just move on from here and make the best of what life has to offer without remorse. I needed to tell someone about what happened to me and what I wrote isn't the full story just part of it, only I thank god that I'm safe and not.... I realise and know that my kids need me more than any worldly goods and I need to live life to the full without looking over my shoulder waiting for something bad to happen. I'm trying and will keep trying to stay happy, after all, I'm in remission and hopefully it will stay that way. Thank you for being such a good friend, I too would like to meet you one day in the future. Take care

Nice to know that you are OK. I was mugged in New York one time and believe me memories of that moment, lingered with me for very long and I hated those people. But life goes on and for family you will go back one day, just be careful.
Whats wrong with your sister.
Both my sisters died within a few mths of each other last year. They were both older than me. The younger of the two use to get beaten by her husband who broke her ribs puncturing her lungs knowing she suffered from asthma and my eldest sister was more of a mom to me since she brought me up after my mom died when I was 14mths old. I'm just glad to be home and safe with my family but like you say, the memory of the event doesn't fade easily. I pity those men rather than detest them. A Nigerian helped to identify one of the perpetrators and was forced to leave the country after it was found out that he had him arrested for having been the ring leader in hurting me. Ben was a good friend to me and so I helped him to get out the country to a safer place. I can't say where here because of certain reasons. Anyway, thank you for being concerned about me. Take care

This is quite canny because 2009 is going to be my year as well.
Whilst i have not experienced physical & emotional distress like you, mine has been purely emotional during the past 2 years and i found that it was easier said than done to move on.
It has taken me some time to emotionally restructure my life and i have now set myself a number of objectives for 2009 which will change my life for the better.
Have a super weekend.

You have a good weekend too love. All this happened to me in 2008 and other things including my health but God willing and my self control, I will beat this for sure. I'm glad that we are both being positive about the year ahead and I'm sure only good things are in store for us. Already I have found a little happiness with someone I met here on FriendFinder-x and I hope to keep it that way because he is worth it. Take care
