"You could work at the dollar general or Walmart and earn good money, after a year, you could earn a certificate, get to know the people, get settled and do well like other Afrikaners here."

The Afrikaner made an example out of his son, who works for a company that was started by a South African. His son, with a matric certificate and two years of experience running a small business, started earning $21 (R334) per hour for 10 hours of work per day, five days a week, presumably making a salary of $4,550 per month (R72 445,73 )in America. When he becomes a forklift operator, he will earn $25 (R397) per hour. He said his son was doing well for himself. Watch the video below:
