Nationalised industry question

[vinty]

South Africa used to be a great place, a friend of mine emigrated their in the 60's along with his family.Even though he only
worked as a tool and die maker he had a great life style a nice house with a swimming pool and servants to clean it and keep his Garden tidy.
He came back home when things started to go downhill ,I believe he still has a house out there but couldn't sell it because because black squatters moved in.
When he came back he had to start again, he now lives in a semi and has to do his own garden, he is always moaning and talking about how everything was better in South Africa,sometimes I wish he would go back there.
