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.
