Book Cover & Preview Text
7th July 2008. One of my least favourite people in this country, is the not so safety and security minister, Charles Nqakula. He had the gall to stand up in parliment a while back,and told a member of the opposition party, when questioned on runaway crime, that "white people must stop whining,or get out of the country!" Only someone with the brain capacity of a rabid mongoose would tell all of the people who pay taxes, and pay for all of the expensive black luxury German vehicles that government ministers keep crashing on weekends when they drive around drunk,that they must stop complaining about crime. .................the crime rate has been escalating quite nicely under his command, especially when he doesn't tell criminals to stop their nonsense or get out of the country, he tells law abiding, tax paying citizens to stop moaning about it,or get out!

About the Book
Bye bye white guy is a diary of news events that have taken place over the period of a year in South Africa, and how I,an average,middle class, middle aged white man interpret them and depict the implications I feel they have in store for the future of the country to the extent that I have taken the difficult desicion to emigrate. I use what I have written to justify to my family and friends that the course of action that I have taken is the correct one. We as a society have become so accustomed to increasing crime and decreasing basic services, murder is no longer front page news, only a small percentage of stories making page three. In my veiw the government has three policies; corruption,nepotism and non-accountability, the solid foundation of any proven, longstanding, destructive dictatorship. All of the information has been gathered via news reports, and this is but the tip of the iceberg. This book is not the ramblings of a bitter white man in post apartheid South Africa, it is the ramblings of an angry white man who does not want a front row seat on the real life drama'How to destroy a beautiful country and it's proud people-the African blueprint', an ongoing production that has slowly made it's way down through Africa,same plot,different players.
About the Author
Having emigrated from Wales at the age of six with his family, the author has spent most of his 45 years on the blue planet living in South Africa, the last 20 of which have been as a buisnessman in a small town called Piet Retief, where he is well known for his outspoken veiws and sarcastic letters to newspapers over the lack of service delivery and deterioration of municipal and government infrastructure. Being a practical person by nature, he has a 'say it as you see it' approach to life, and like many South African's from all ethnic groups, is becoming increasingly frustrated with today's incompetence being blamed on a regime that was destroyed 15 years ago.
