The former first world nation of South Africa should be warning to us all.
Got that right.
In an article about “load shedding” (rotating blackouts) in South Africa, I was surprised to read the comments of a black union leader who said essentially, “say what you will about the apartheid days, at least they kept the lights on.”
Not that apartheid was a wonderful thing, but at least the country’s management didn’t put relatives, friends and political supporters into positions they were totally unqualified to fill.
