Hi there Steemits

This blog will be about living in South Africa, and my experience so far.
So i was born and raised here, i've never left the country at all not even for vacation, i've always dreamed about visiting other countries and seeing the different cultures but when living in South Africa it is so hard to do that, money is a very big problem in this country, we pay taxes and you would think it would go to fixing the roads, making better schools, making more jobs for the people but it doesnt! It goes to our president so he can have a huge "fire pool" who knows why? to make his life so much easier and so much better for him self and his family, he hosts huge parties , his put our country in junk status which makes it even harder to live here, prices go up but our salaries stay the same, and thats not even the saddest part about living here.

The crimes in this country, let me tell you this, have you ever lived in fear every day of your life?
People from around the world say stuff like oh wow your from SA? thats such an amazing country, your so lucky,
No! its a beautiful country but to live in fear ever day is horrible, to scared to even walk a block down the road because you might get robbed,stabbed and raped, you fear ever day for your children to even go to school, scared at night when you go bed that some one will break in to your house and rape and kill you for no reason what so ever? This is just some of worries in South Africa... The thing is that the wonderful people from around the world half the time dont know whats happening here.
I want to leave this country but how do i do that when every day is a struggle to even buy bread? or milk? Life is hard here.
