South Africa - the positive backlash

With all the negativity that exists among many South Africans right now, and the mostly negative news we get here overseas, it's interesting and refreshing to see the variety of sites springing up that highlights the positive news.  For example:

http://sarocks.co.za/
http://www.homecomingrevolution.co.za

It's the face of a "positive backlash" I see coming out of South Africa.  I get a sense from a lot of people that they just want the complainers to get out of the country as soon as possible, so that those who really want to stay and make a difference can go about their business of building this great nation without distraction.  I say, more power to them!

And while we're at it, allow me to mention that an article I wrote on this topic on our last visit made it into the Homecoming Revolution newsletter recently:
