I was born and raised in Africa, as it happens!
I left because post-democracy (hmmm, not really democratic .....) it quickly turned into a steaming pile of the crap that is symptomatic of the Dark Continent ills - incompetence, nepotism, thuggery, racism, et-bloody-cetera.
But I'm sure Santa will be visiting them all, both deserving and undeserving.
(Sorry for the thread creep ..... or is that a complete, full on, thread
skid?)
