10 years ago at 9:57 amDamn, hope they find him.
10 years ago at 10:13 amAfrica can get pretty sketchy. Praying they find him quickly.
10 years ago at 10:29 amSouth Africa isn’t as sketchy as you’d think. I have a good feeling he’ll be found.
10 years ago at 11:43 amDo some more research next time, it might save you from saying something stupid.
10 years ago at 11:58 amPoint taken. Lacing up.
10 years ago at 12:09 pmWouldn’t had happened in the old South Africa. South Africa was one of the wealthiest, most progressive countries in the world until “diversity” happened.. Look at where it is now.. stage 6 of 8 for genocide (of whites, according to genocidewatch.org).. rape and murder stats equal to that of Somalia… more people are murdered in a year than during the whole period of Apartheid rule. I hope they find this guy but if he stumbled into a bad area they will never find out what happened to him.
10 years ago at 1:45 pmHe was swimming and got caught in a riptide.
10 years ago at 2:18 pmWhere’s a link to that information? Also, if that were the case, where’s the body? Hope they find him soon.
10 years ago at 4:13 pmthe photo posted by the chapter said he was pulled out to sea by a rip current and considering its the ocean where do you think.
10 years ago at 7:43 pmFratasurus, you’re dead on. White and Boer people of South Africa are murdered every day and tortured by Black South Africans. South Africa used to be the most advanced nation in Africa, ever since Majority rule was put into play we have gone down hill.
10 years ago at 5:22 pmYou spent way too much effort writing this
10 years ago at 11:53 pmAs a member of KA I will do my best to spread the word through my chapter. At the end of the day I just hope he is safe. This would be a great time for the media to get involved, first time I have ever found myself saying that about something Greek related
10 years ago at 10:34 amHope they find him as soon as possible
10 years ago at 10:36 amI hope he comes home. Stay strong
10 years ago at 10:37 amOh fuck, in Africa no less. I hope for the best for him and his family.
10 years ago at 10:58 amI hope he turns out ok take a moment and send up a prayer for this young man, his family, and his chapter.
10 years ago at 11:03 amFuck, the waters of cape town are really not a good place to get dragged out to sea. I hope they get him back.
10 years ago at 12:47 pmAs a native of Cape Town, I hope they find him safe. Heart goes out to his family, and brothers.
