You really seem to have your frilly little panties in a twist, don’t you?

And guess what. I'm going to excerpt them

Excerpting someone else's material is one thing, and quite proper.

Excerpting your own material is nothing but self-serving blogpimping done strictly for hits.

Learn it, live it, love it.

Your garbage-y commentary deserves nothing more than to be pointed at as 'garbage'.

The various accusations that you've made, exist chiefly, only in your own mind.

Stop projecting.

The "lecture" portions are needless, also.

Get over yourself.

Apartheid South Africa attracted illegal aliens from other black African countries.

If it wasn't for the Afrikaners building South Africa, the population of the country would be around 5,000,000 (Africans) rather than 50,000,000 today.

I see that a moderator has provided some degree of vindication for your stance on this type of article being better categorized belonging in bloggers/personal, even though the source in this instance is not precisely a "blog", comparable entirely to the kind .

This thread's title article is not exactly News/Activism either, so fits better in with "bloggers", nonetheless.

That said, there is a place for this type of thing, here on FR. I do think this one, recently "new" contributor, SAT2014, in comment #45, showed to me there they were not just another run-of-mill blog-pimp. I thank them for the background, personal info.

Having people here reminded of the fruits of the Marxist thought which is presently being exploited in SA, touched upon within this article http://southafricatoday.net/south-africa-news/malema-we-are-here-to-crush-white-dominance-video/ at the OP's website, is good thing all-in-all, for is shows how conditions there are similar to how the Hands Up/Don't Shoot/BLM agitators are panting after "revolution" here in the U.S., seeking to stoke up then exploit racial grievances in furtherance of Obama's aims to fundamentally transform this nation (the United States).

Mugabe's Zimbabwe is demonstration project enough (demonstrating serious systematic failures), showing how the Marxists are just a different sort of overlord, the sought-for cure to all ills being even worse then the previous, perceived-to-be ailment.

Having a next-door-neighbor example is not enough good example of just how bad that kind of thinking is, for some (but thankfully so far, not all?) of black South Africans, for not all are solidly behind him. As far as I can tell, anyhow, having myself begun to pay more attention to goings-on in Africa these last few years...

Chavez's Venezuela is yet another example of how promising to "give" to gimmedats is unworkable in actual societal practice.

There is no free lunch.

Somebody, somewhere has to work. Pretty much everyone must work in some way, or many other "ways", simultaneously...

Fundamentally; the land itself must be coaxed into providing sustenance. To demonize, kill off the so-called Kulaks of any nation or culture, is to cripple those who have the know-how.

Replacing those who know how with the "fist" of top-down State control (over all things) has yet to lead to anywhere near Utopian society, every single time and place it has been attempted.

But I state the obvious..?

The “New” South Africa is facing the same issues that Europe is, millions of poor refugees from the rest of the continent entering the country.
