Wild isn’t it, they even had Nuclear Weapons at one time.

Learn from history, SA had nukes, gave them up and collapse

Gadhafi had nukes, gave them up government collapsed and got raped with knives.

Any country giving up nukes now would but utter foolishness.

Almost like someone or thing wants the world to kill itself.

A few years ago there was a countdown (in days) when South Africa would run out of drinking water. Don’t know if they ran out of drinking water yet, but I suspect they have not solved the problem.

My advise to any whites still living in South Africa would be the same advise given to any Jews living in Germany pre-WWII, leave as soon as possible.

The situation in South Africa is not going to get better only worse.

Interesting tidbit by a guy who works with an aid group operating in SA:

“There’s general just complete collapse of municipal services in many parts of the country. It’s only in the Western Cape province where you’ve got a pretty well run province. You still have a lot of poverty and everything but it feels like a different country. And it’s only because it’s not governed by the ANC – every other province is falling apart.”

So I wonder if the Western Cape province becomes the refuge for SA’s more civilized citizens whenever the inevitable major crisis comes.

I’m thinking Xhosa versus Zulu.

Totally. He was a manufactured hero to a global population of negros who had no heroes outside of entertainment and sports.

We are maybe 10 to 15 years before it happens in America.

US blacks already have their own country in western Africa. It is called Liberia and was purchased for them by the US government in 1829 as a place for freed slaves to return to.

It’s a complete sh!thole because it is occupied and run by black people.

He was a horrible man, a communist and petty tyrant, his wife literally owned slaves, beat them and had people necklaced.

Because there's always a song.

Also interesting about Andre de Ruyter, the head of Eskom, SA’s public power company. He had been cracking down on massive corruption by high government officials that was taking place within the company. As an example he talks about employees being paid to sabotage equipment which then required expensive repair work. The repairs were performed under corrupt maintenance contracts resulting in outflows of tens of millions of dollars per month. His efforts to clean things up enraged the powers that be, to the point where ruling party members were publicly denouncing him and accusing him of trying to overthrow the country.

Some images of Andre de Ruyter:

Finally he had had enough and this past December announced his resignation. In his announcement he named the names of the MPs involved in the corruption. A week later an attempt was made on his life via a cyanide laced drink that put him in the hospital. It seems likely that Ruyter’s tenure will have been the last gasp of competent leadership at Eskom, and that events will now quickly move towards a total failure of SA’s power grid with catastrophic results.

I’m usually pretty up on the news but I must admit that I wasn’t aware of just how quickly things are falling apart over there...

An optimist, eh? 5 years might be more realistic.

“So who in S. Africa would represent the Northern side, and who the Confederate side...”

Well, the ANC tried to confiscate Zulu land a few years ago. Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu threatened to roast the ANC leadership on a spit and feed them to the hyenas.

Zulus make up the bulk of private security forces and the South African army.

So I guess we can include the Zulus in any imminent civil war. North or south? You pick ‘em. It’s all about African tribal politics.

Chief Buthelezi was a good man, and would have been a much better alternative to Mandela, to lead Post-Apartheid South Africa.
