I've heard and read that the nation of South Africa is quickly going downhill. That is rare relations and the economy.

It was the only advanced nation in Africa, and I've heard talk that if S Africa fails there's going to be even more African migration pushing into Europe.

For sure the stories of the farmers and their trials in SA are hard to digest that they live in such danger, and I've recently heard that SA as an nation has been rated economically as junk status. I'm wondering if things are really that bad at this time in the Rainbow nation.

Any first hand accounts?
