Can I exchange ZAR Rands for Indian Rupee in India and also use Debit Card to draw Cash in India
indians in south africa are being targeted by criminals ever increasingly on a daily basis.My 31 year old son was killed in front of his wife and 11 month old child in his bed room by 4 armed BLACK males at 8pm on 14 Sept 2012. Should we continue being passive and see our loved ones being slaughtered or should we start arming ourselves and protect ourselves. The present government has failed and marginalized the Indian population.Is it time to change course and resurrect the Natal Indian Congress.18 years after democracy the ANC still practices reverse apartheid to the detriment of all other MINORITY GROUPS.The Zuma led government has failed to govern and protect its citizens Please intervene on our behalf as we have no voice within the present govt.
Went to India in Dec - Jan - had a fantastic time with family - no problems with visas in South Africa- saw both good and poor areas but very enriching experience - cant wait to go again to India , after my children get married next year of course- We get what we pay for and i had a wonderful experience from the taxis, agents and all those that arranged my stay in India - Keep it up
TO ALL INDIAN MOTHERS, FATHERS,BROTHERS,SISTERS & FRIENDS
Let us celebrate & enjoy the freedom
to live independently in our country
cheerfully, helpfully, hopefully, peacefully
by remembering our national heroes
who gave us freedom
after suffering years of pain & humiliation.
Happy Independence Day - JAI HIND
I have been to india 3x but did not enjoy the stay.Please assist in finding friends we can live with and in return we can offer them accomation in south africa.
My very first trip to India being my motherland - I was ripped off by our local travel agent and the tour operator from Inda. The modus operandi is to book you into an hotel not suitable to your liking and when you are there you are forced to pay large amount to the tour operator to find better accommodation. Also while I was in India I was forced to return home due to a death in my family. The tour operator did not refund even though the hotel did not charge for the days not spent. This particular tour operator capitalised on my demise. The big names locally and in India are the theives to watch out for. This has now put a damper to visit India again.
I am a 42yr old hindi speaking female from Durban. I was born and raised in Mayville, Cato Manor. I attended Ahmedia State Aided School. We were forced to move to Phoenix when i was 11yrs old. I have this deep desire to learn how to play the harmonuim, but i need to purchase one first, but i cannot afford it @ the moment. I t therefore make a humble request to your consul to donate me one. Thanking you in advance...

One does fully understand the anger and hurt felt by R Singh's family. But without having to point fingers, let me highlight some vital mistakes that were made--1. Most of us make this mistake, but we shoud always double check the details of the visa before leaving the office especially when so much trouble has gone into going overseas. Usually immigration officials are unable to help as they are bound by their routine rules. But usually a higher ranking official is helpful as they are able to go beyond their call of duty. But it is hard to comment on immigration procedures as they are unique to each country. About your loss of funds, you must check if you had taken a travel insurance. Usually if you have paid your tickets by credit card e.g., Visa, you normally get a standard travel insurance covered. You may want to check with your bank if you travel tickets were covered by their insurance (provided you paid by credit card for tickets). Any other payments such as made to the hotel can also be claimed if paid by credit cards.

i am very sad to hear the south african friends who faced bitter experience with the govt officials.India got freedom from british but still we are not free from corrupts like this.Secondly to find the roots of family is a big task as its a too big country and its too risky .if you want to do means contact any of your indian colleagues working in south africa.As an indian i never went to Mumbai Jammu or calcutta.Thats india is
