Their grid will fail so they will have blackouts like Cuba. Then their health care will collapse.

A farmer near us has a large operation and now sponsors 4 SA families. Perhaps we’d have less to worry about if “progressives”did their civic duty and sponsored a few migrants of their own. Take them off the public dole and be physically and fiscally responsible for these people, Dems. Put your money where your mouth is.

Notice Grok’s value judgements on display:
“Decolonization goals like redistributing wealth and opportunity are valid”
Pure value judgement from an AI.
AI programs are not to be trusted.

Whoever is running that $h*thole is going to pillage the treasury and flee. Meanwhile tribal warfare would ensue and other countries would send their mercenaries to protect whatever is left. Maybe put someone on the throne.

Business associate of mine had a business in South Africa. He was Belgian. His software company wrote packages for municipal government operations. For weeks after the “takeover” he would watch guys hanging out down his street. Soon he left not able to take his money with him. this was 25 years ago. Zimbabwe did the same thing with it’s farmers. They used to export their farm yields, now i think they are starving.

Tell Grok to put your answer in HTML 2.0 format. Here's what it replied to me with the same question. I had to coax if to address the major professions.
Economic Impact
White South Africans, approximately 4.7 million (8% of population, 2025 estimate), hold significant economic influence. Their departure would:
- Slash GDP by 15-20% due to loss of skilled labor, capital, and business networks.
- Devastate key sectors like mining, commercial agriculture, and finance, where white-owned enterprises dominate.
- Trigger capital flight, weakening the rand (already volatile at ~18 ZAR/USD in 2025) and inflating import costs.
Social Impact
Socially, the exodus would:
- Intensify racial tensions as remaining groups compete for scarce resources and opportunities.
- Disrupt cultural identity, diminishing Afrikaans language, literature, and heritage sites.
- Strain community cohesion, with urban areas like Cape Town and Pretoria facing identity shifts.
Political Impact
Politically, the departure would:
- Strengthen ANC dominance without white-led opposition (e.g., Democratic Alliance), but economic decline could erode governance legitimacy.
- Repel foreign investment, further downgrading South Africa’s junk credit rating (S&P: BB-, 2025).
- Weaken regional influence in SADC, as economic and diplomatic clout diminishes.
Loss of Critical Professions
The exodus of white engineers, scientists, medical doctors, and entrepreneurs would amplify the crisis:
- Engineers: White engineers, prominent in civil, mechanical, and electrical fields, are critical to infrastructure maintenance (e.g., Eskom, Transnet). Their loss would accelerate power outages (load-shedding already at Stage 6 in 2025) and cripple transport networks, stalling trade.
- Scientists: White researchers lead in fields like medicine and agriculture (e.g., Stellenbosch University). Their departure would halt innovation, weaken R&D, and delay responses to crises like pandemics or food insecurity.
- Medical Doctors: White doctors, overrepresented in private healthcare and specialties, support a strained system (public healthcare serves 80% of the population). Their absence would overwhelm hospitals, increase mortality rates, and exacerbate health inequities.
- Entrepreneurs: White entrepreneurs drive SMEs and tech startups, contributing to job creation (unemployment: 33% in 2025). Their exit would stifle innovation, reduce tax revenue, and deepen poverty, particularly in urban centers.
Broader Implications
The ripple effects would extend beyond South Africa:
- Regional Stability: Southern Africa’s economic hub weakening would disrupt trade, migration, and investment in neighboring countries like Botswana and Namibia.
- Global Perception: A mass exodus would signal instability, deterring tourism and multinational corporations, further isolating South Africa economically.
- Diaspora Impact: White South Africans relocating to countries like Australia or the UK would strain those labor markets while creating a vocal diaspora, potentially lobbying against South African interests.
Conclusions
The departure of all white South Africans would plunge the nation into economic, social, and political turmoil. The loss of critical professionals—engineers, scientists, doctors, and entrepreneurs—would paralyze infrastructure, innovation, healthcare, and job creation, with recovery potentially taking decades. While new leadership might eventually fill the void, historical parallels (e.g., Zimbabwe’s land reforms) suggest prolonged instability without robust redistribution and upskilling policies. South Africa’s global and regional standing would erode, cementing a challenging path to recovery.

But all of those engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs and scientists are........yes........ RACIST!
Remember when Mao and the Chicoms flushed Einstein. Any Chinese physicist who did not agree and argue against Einstein’s ideas, well, they were not a physicist for very long.
Since all of the white South Africans MUST BE racist, their engineering is also based on racism. Flush everything and start anew.
About the only theory that will continue to hold any weight in South Africa will be the theory of gravity.
