8 million South African blacks, 13 million South African whites. Should be interesting. I wonder if the blacks ever heard of Rourkes Drift.

“Keifer’’ It’s a Dutch/white South African word that can be translated as the n-word.

Is that a spelling variant in the Sutherland region of Africa?

LOL! I think I misspelled it but the meaning is spot on. A nasty word to use in that part of the world.

Total population is 50,000,000. 79.6% Black, 9.6% White, 8.9% mixed, 2.5% Asian. (CIA World Fact Book)
That works out to 40 million Blacks vs 4.5 million Whites.
I don't think it would be interesting at all.

Guess my source was wrong. Can’t swear to the name but it stated South Africa’s population was 8 million blacks, 13 million whites. Probably was the NYT back in the ‘80s as I think of it. Thanks for the info.

Kafir, it is an Arabic slur against the children of Ham, amongst other things.

4.5 million WhitesWhat's most surprising is that there's still that many Whites in South Africa nearly 20 years after the end of Apartheid.
