Anyone contemplating immigrating to South Africa should read the book "The Strange Alchemy of Life and Law" by Albie Sachs. As foreigners, it is so difficult to understand the complexities behind the South African psyche, even after years of living here.
The landmark court cases cited in this book give an insight into South Africa's complex social tapestry, and as I read this book I had a better understanding of why South Africans think and behave the way they do. If I had read this book before immigrating here, I might have changed my mind.
At least after reading the book I had a better understanding of the country that I live in.
