On: Africa's "Crisis": Africa in better shape than most experts think

[dawie]

I think some of the stats are skewed.

"Breast-feeding, hand-washing, sugar-salt solutions, vaccines, antibiotics, and bed nets together save millions -- and could save millions more -- and none need cost more than $5 a pop"

Also living of $280 a year $5 is a quarter of your monthly income which is quite a bit for these people. They don't save and all live hand to mouth.

Africa is screwed.That's why I left.

The whole entire Africa is screwed? Surely you come from just one of the 47 countries in Africa?

I'm assuming with a nickname like Dawie you're a South African? Where did you immigrate to?

[dawie → pistoriusp]

I am from South-Africa.

I moved to Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

That must have been a long time ago considering that you've already forgotten how to spell South Africa. It's not hyphenated in English.

Anyway, good luck over there.

Dis omdat ek Afrikaans is dat ek sukkel met die spel. God dank vir MS Spell Check.

Hey, Suid Africa is nie so sleg :)

You cannot really count South Africa with the rest of Africa.

Ek weet, ek speel maar net. :)

Hilarious, I can actually read this (I'm Belgian).
