Mob violence is a perfect example of democracy in action!

The EFF is right. Zuma is a corrupt crook.
But we knew that was how this would end.
Wait until the white money runs out. The real fun begins then.

What did they expect after they began throwing Whites out of the country?
This is hardly the beginning, but it may signal the start of a rapid acceleration into the abyss.

The sane ones still have a chance to move to the western part of the nation, and secede. Form a loose federation with Namibia and Botswana, and carve out a corner of non-stupidity on that continent.

I’m afraid it WAS a continuation of the journey Nelson Mandela began.

One way or another, Julius Malema is going to rip South Africa apart. The ANC is bad, but they have simply become a corrupt, one-party government sitting atop the government, dividing spoils amongst themselves.
Malema, on the other hand, will start a real civil war.

When the “white people” were forced out, it left them to their own devices. How’s that going for them?

Damn shame we let the left destroy SA. Of course they are doing the same in all Western nations including ours.
To: MNDude
I have trouble thinking of any black-run governments that aren’t steeped in corruption and prone to violent outbursts.

South Africa doesn’t have oil, but they do have gold and diamonds. I guess that’s the only thing that is keeping things going for now.

Looks like they’re going to use Zimbabwe as an example to follow.

At least they care. Can anyone imagine dems and gopers ever disagreeing enough to have a fistfight?
