Since most Westerners really don't know nor understand anything at all about this once first world nation, they assume far too many things about it and the people who live there, which they shouldn't. Then they very glibly say extremely foolish things, which are massively hurtful to those of us who know the facts and/or have family and/or friends there.
Re the farmers...since now they will NOT be paid anything at all for their homes, possessions, farm equipment, seed, land, their net worth shall be lowered considerably. And they and their ancestors have been on these farms far longer than most of the blacks now living in RSA. And not just no, but HELL NO, no blacks EVER owned these lands!
The plight of the white, non-farmer Afrikaners has been and is still also highly problematic. Once Mandela and the COMMIE ANC took power, quotas ( akin to our AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, but far worse ! )were installed. Whites were kicked out of jobs/positions and the ones who stayed wound up having to do not only their jobs, but at least one or two others as well ( for the no-show jobs given out as "PERKS" to members of the ANC and their family members ) who either could NOT do these jobs or who NEVER even bothered to show up for work!
And now there is a water shortage, which is about to hit a total collapse, because the blacks who were/are in charge either had less then no idea what to do, or just never did anything at all because they're morons!
The Rand is losing value as I type and it hasn't been in "good" shape, vis-a-vis other currencies, since Mandela got his stinking COMMIE claws on the power.
You're welcome and I hope this info helps you and others to understand a bit more than you did. :-)
Thanks for that good summary.
People who think something like that could never happen here are naïve and ignorant.
