After the race riots, if the Whites (and perhaps Asians) are killed off or driven out, will South Africa remain in the 21st century?

Normally in Africa, the administration is pretty ably run by Western Europeans, the business by Indians and other things by Africans. If the first two get out, the last group goes into decay -- as in Uganda.

Oh, yes. I also read an article several years ago in The National Review pointing out that the British did more than the French to develop their colonies -- building railroads, port facilities, providing education, etc. -- but with decolonization they just walked away. The French, on the other hand, did less to uplift their colonial charges but were also under no illusion that the colonists were competent to run their own affairs. So the French, at least at the time the article was written, continued to provide administrators to and pay the bureaucracy of at least some of their former African colonies.
