Default No wonder we viewed so negatively !
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...rner-wife.html


South African-born Mr Myerson, who has built a reputation as ruthless corporate raider and asset stripper, met Miss Denley in 1998, when she was working for a company in which he had invested.
He said: 'Like many men, I've had a number of extra-marital affairs. But since 1998 Clare and I have been together - effectively as common-law man and wife - in a relationship that existed in parallel with my marriage.
'I never told Ingrid about Clare but I was an extremely good and caring husband, providing her with a wonderful lifestyle.'
Mr Myerson set up Miss Denley, 46, and their son Charlie, now eight, in a house close to his other family home, a £7million townhouse in Hampstead, North London.
And when he took his wife and their three children to their £1.5million beach house in South Africa, he secretly rented a villa nearby for his second family.

Mr Myerson said he never wanted a divorce and had hoped Ingrid would turn a blind eye to his affair.

He said: 'Ingrid had 25 years of wonderful marriage. If she had been prepared to tolerate Clare and carry on, we wouldn't have wasted £1.5million on legal fees. But I have no regrets. Given the chance, I would do it all again.
'You get married men who have children with mistresses and pretend they never happened. That's disgraceful.
'I might be an old-fashioned male chauvinist but I believe men should look after all their children and the women they are involved with in a traditional way.'
Asked how he would have felt if his wife had cheated on him, he said: 'I would have been furious. It's just the way I am. I can cheat on her but I would never have allowed her to do it to me.'

Ludicrous isn't it .

What annoys me so much is the tone right through the whole of the article . Of white rich, arrogant , chavinuist male South Africans which he seems to endorse as absolutely the norm

I agree with you Damu, being South African has nothing to do with his behaviour, in fact I was rather surprised that the article was not about a person being racist ... seeing as he is South African born, that is what one usually reads about South Africans.



No wonder I supply you with coffee in the mornings!

I referred to it as a tone that ran through the article . And granted I may be super sensitive .

When I arrived here in the UK 10 years back , I had many a passing comment of ' you white , you must have a diamond mine on your back, and later getting people to see me for who I am ,and learning some very honest and frank general assumptions which they disclosed . That is white South Africans being rich and arrogant and unaware of the impact they have on others. . I had hoped that we long dispelled this general assumptions .

But he seems to underpin this as norm .

Mmmmm just read the whole article from the link (the quoted portion wasn't enough to base an opinion on). The man no matter what culture he is from, is despicable IMHO.

The writer has emphasised the South African aspect quite a bit throughout it though, so I do see where piglet is coming from.

Unfortunately there are quite a lot of South Africans who live up to the stereotype of being loud, brash, arrogant and totally oblivious/disrespectful to the world at large. I work with several like this.

It is a 'belewenis'/experience alright. In this company at least we are very poorly regarded as a result of these few and their poor behaviour.

LOL to prove the point - a non-South African colleague sent out a link to that article about Brits being the angriest people in Europe, and this was the comment that went with it:

I wonder who would be the angriest in the world????

SAFFAS????? :-)

Says it all really...

Sounds like an aweful enviroment to work in . I suppose the only thing you can do is let people see you for who you are and thereby pave the way that their behaviour is not a reflection of all South African .

Saddly I think there are those expats that have come over and believe that they are owed something . Yes SA is going through a diffcult time but to be quite frank so are many other countries .

Belewenis means experience.

The office environment is good actually, we just have to put people in their place occasionnally...

thanks for the enlightenment . Learnt something new today .

As for the office enviroment being good and equally impressive is being able to draw peeps back especially gellow countrymen if they over step the mark .
