Mail me at (redacted) and I provide his contact address. You may want to give him some tips.
To be honest I may have exaggerated the power outage ratio, as I am not a first-hand observer; but I tend to give some credibility to his description of the living situation over there, esp. as they want to move.
My point is more or less that denying things, even if not fully true, strengthens demagogues like Trump instead of weakening them.

It has been "unflagged" now / update: flagged again. Reason for posting this is that I think quite a few people in the US will have similar stories, which will be shared between the general population. And by denying this, Trump will gain more credibility.

RE the police force and private security, that has been a fact of life in South Africa for decades, not a new development. Anyone with the means employs private security, in the same way that anyone with means utilizes private health care, not public health care. Here South Africa is not that much different from other high-crime and high-inequality countries like Brazil and Mexico.
