You'd NEVER ever guess talking to me that I'm not a kiwi. I'm here on a Pom passport, but I was born in the Free State, I used to swim in the Jukskei at least 8 months of the year (anyone familiar with Johannesburg is now wondering how I'm even alive). Been here nearly 20 years

We assimilate, most of us leave our shit behind, we're good for this country.

Where are you on the Shore? I'm over on the other side of the bridge these days, but my parents are in Birkenhead point, and at least three forum members are nearby

@Tommy Swam in the same river, would always smell of washing powder as we were downstream from Alexandra. Used to catch catfish and try and sell them to the black Africans, they weren't keen lol.

Surprised that river crabs and catfish actually survived in there. I have seen it run red - like as in, red, this was in 1994.
