I think you're right Humayun. For South Africa it would be a nation-building exercise. Whether local security for each of the many sites is a problem, that's a big question.

I've lived there for a while, and I'm afraid that anything of value without a 16' razor wire fence around it doesn't necessarily last long. I've been speaking with a friend of mine who spent many years there, has a South African wife and still has rellies back there that say travel by car around the country is considered impossible now - unless you have a stash of your own weapons on board. Crazy stuff. I'm sure that there are some places that don't suffer this problem, but they're becoming far and few between.

I'm sure that these concerns will have been considered and answered by the South Africans in their bid.

Good luck to us though.
