I think its funny how you are all having your say about who is wrong and who is right.... You all have your own point of view but dont listen to others!! When the human race starts looking at each other as humans not by race then the WORLD will be a better place.. Its not about what colour you are, Its about who you are!!! Im a white guy and it seriously frustrates me when people judge other people by race... We all bleed red people.... I have a variety of friends from black to indian to white to coloured and they are all BRILLIANT people... We learn alot from each other everyday... My sister is marrying an indian guy who happens to be my best friend... Whats the big deal, LOVE has no colour!!!! There where some people commenting on not marrying indian guys and other comments of who you going to marry then, Please, Marry who you want because you love them not because they are a certain colour.... Stop being narrow minded, Look at the bigger picture.... The guy just wanted to vent that he is unhappy about a few things, Let him vent dont diss him... He is angry where he is at and he needed to let it out, Weather he is unhappy about Durban, JHB, P.E, Cape Town who cares, He is unhappy and needed to let it out... I think every place in the world is amazing to some and then not so amazing to others.... Let people believe and say what they want... Dont take offence to what other people dont like, If we all liked the same things and disliked the same things life would be boring and there would be no point in living.... Alot of comments where people saying that he must stop hating and things like that, But then they say that they think he is a a bitch and must f### off... That is a contradiction if you ask me!!! Learn to love people, Learn to try and understand people and let them have their say without judging them... Peace to everyone, I hope you all find happiness where ever you are and who ever you are... You all deserve your piece of happiness and as a few comments said, Happiness is where the heart is...

I'm a Zulu working with Indians in the office and oh my word...GOSSIP. I always believe in giving people the shadow of a doubt and trying to understand before judging, which is why I decided to learn more about the origin of the race in order to gain a bit more understanding of their culture. I'm not saying it's the only race that gossips, slanders, back-bites and so forth in the workplace; for me though they are extremely over the top. Some of them don't welcome you easily if you are not one of their own; they put you down if they feel intimidated by you. One thing I've learnt from working with the Indian race (at more than one company) is that dare you not be "better" then them in any way or they will make your life a living hell. I'm not saying each and every Indian person is that way - I've met wonderful people within the race, unfortunately most of them I find to be extremely cold, racist and pretentious. I love Durban with all my heart and have turned down a couple of JHB offers 'coz no place is better than Durbs. I'm not proud to say I'm now thinking of moving to JHB as I've been told there are few Indians up there - IM NOT PROUD OF THOSE THOUGHTS, but that's how bad and intolerable I find the Durban workplace. Yes, you will always have those kind of people in the workplace...but Durban seems to hoard bigots who try by all means to get to the top by putting others down and ensuring you don't progress. I stand to be corrected of course but I'm really fed up of this. I came across this blog by chance as I was looking up the origin of Durban Indians.
