Should a foreigner retire to Pretoria? Fascinating response from a local.

LONDON — I’m a great fan of Quora, the global website where anyone is allowed to have a go at answering tricky questions. The result is an uncovering of Uber Truths, a continuous reminder that our media consumption should not be monopolised by those fortunate enough to have landed jobs in newsrooms. Quora’s upvoting mechanism uses the power of Crowdsourcing to elevate the most balanced and sensible responses and relegate the rubbish. So users get exposed to some extraordinary responses from those whose ideas might otherwise never break through the clutter. An example is the answer embedded below from Etienne Labuschagne (click on “more” to read his post) – no PR or scaremongering; just a sensible “that’s the way it is” response that provides us all with food for thought. Because the first step to sorting out a problem is to strip away the distractions by honing in on reality. Expect us to republish more of the same in future. – Alec Hogg
