At last Lady Marian beckoned that it was time to go.
Amazing what can be made with metal and a rock!
That's All Folks!
Since the South African borders were opened thousands of skilled migrants have streamed into the country to ply their trades here.
The money that they make is sent back to their families in their home countries.
Dire poverty exists on the African continent and South Africa is seen as the land of milk and honey for the desperate souls that can make it here. Many of them have traveled here on foot braving lions and other predators on their way here.
Sadly many syndicates have also grabbed the opportunity to infiltrate the country which unfortunately does not bode well for the future. Unless of course that our laws are tightened and implemented.
But there is always hope!
