Actually, it succeeded fantastically for its real purpose - to make the politicians/mobsters of the ruling Party rich. Criminals don't care about the future of a bank they plan to rob - just the loot.

De Beers is building a synthetic diamond plant in Oregon. Planning for diamond supply problems in the future? Who knows.

“”Any investment gurus out there have ideas of how to “short” the South African economy?””
Ask Soros...except he’s probably on the side of the anarchists....Hope all the idiots in this country who advocated for disinvestment are happy. Guess who they were!!
Hello Hollywood...
You’d think they’d have learned from Zimbabwe’s example.
White farmers should do a Scorched Earth form of resistance, blowing up the wells, irrigation ponds, lakes, farms and barns, equipment, roads.
Let SA go back to “cut, slash and burn” farming.
Producing farmland even for free is very expensive to produce. For me in Wisconsin it was $3,800 per acre in cost. Seed, fertilizer, chemicals, pre harvest prep, harvest, machinery, depreciation, fuel, insurance, and taxes.
It just wasn’t done right. It will work this time.
I promise.
Russian “collusion” at work - Russia’s Putin ahs offered to take in 15000 farmers whose land will be stolen from South Africa; most would go to the Stavropol region. They will leave the whirlwind, and a bunch of starving people in a declining nation behind, wondering why the crops just don’t grow up out of the earth. No US food aid for these communists, let them enjoy the fruits of their thefts.

OK, now how about the French Franc?
That’s what I was going to post.I would also poison the ground with atrazine.
If I lived there, I’d burn everything including structures and tools, pour bleach (lasts longer than salt) into the ground so nothing will grow for 100 years, then leave or stand my ground and kill as many of the bastards as I could before they got me.
The democrat party dream.
Look at that Communist hat.
Bring them to America. We can use more industrious people.
An established channel exists, if only American politicians would allow the South Africans to stay.
Montana farmers turn to South Africa to fill labor gap.
Boer farmers need to be evac’d to the U.S. immediately. They are proven hard workers, of Western culture, and (yeah I’ll say it) white.
Must be done quietly or the CBC will scream bloody murder.
Always with the beret’s and red clothing. Guess they hadn’t heard of the Boers.
“The messed up thing is that there were little to no black Africans living in the area now known as South Africa when it was colonized.“
They should have dug the diamonds and gold themselves, huh?
