Africans have good reason to be suspicious of British involvement in
their affairs

Here's how one estate agency, promoting homes in Mark Thatcher's Cape
Town suburb, Constantia, describes the benefits of living in South
Africa. "A weak rand gives you tremendous buying power if you're
paying with dollars or sterling," EscapeArtist.com reveals. "Around
R8,000 [£663] a month will do for a married couple. What kind of
lifestyle will this buy you? A villa with a pool, a car and a daily
maid... South Africa is one of the few places in the world where
you'll find first world comforts and infrastructure, and third world
prices on everything from food, to diamonds, to real estate ... South
Africa has problems, but that's what makes for opportunity."
