South Africa is on the verge of “collapse” amid rolling blackouts and warnings a total power grid failure could lead to mass rioting on the scale of a “civil war”.

Western embassies including the United States and Australia have advised their citizens in the country to stock up on “several days worth” of food and water and be on high alert during extended blackouts sweeping the country.

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national “state of disaster” on February 9 in response to the record electricity shortage, which has seen state-owned power company Eskom institute rolling blackouts – dubbed “load shedding” – lasting up to 12 hours in some cases.

Racial marxism destroying a once prosperous country with MSM ignoring the whole event.

South Africa used to be an innovator in nuclear power plant technology.

Now they can’t keep the lights on.

I've traveled Africa fairly extensively...including South Africa.That surely doesn't make me an expert but SA’s collapse was predictable to me from the day that Mandella took power.

I knew an MD from South Africa many years ago. He came here to pursue another MD degree in Cardiovascular surgery at the University of New Mexico medical school. He went back home to Johannesburg after graduating in 1992. I lost touch with him several years ago. Whenever I think about South Africa, I wonder if he’s still alive.

Better Bachelor just had a video on South Africa’s collapse too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bCoXPWzsULM

These kind of stories are clustering. Late last year it was Sri Lanka’s implosion.

Where they will be abandoned and die.

They should be being warned to leave the country if they value their own lives. Especially if they are the wrong skin color and thus easily identified. The mobs will not care if they are Americans, Australians, or South African whites.

The Dutch Boers had their shit together.. Who eventually ruined South Africa were the liberal English that lived there. And England itself. England lead all the “righteous” economic boycotts back in Nelson Mandela’s day, that forced SA to knuckle under.

Apartheid kept SA functional and prosperous. Nelson Mandela and his gangsters and stupid England/UK ruined this. So now you have black rule, chaos, anarchy and starvation ahead. Same as Zimbabwe was functional under white rule, when it was Rhodesia.

SA was alawys going to end up like Zimbabwe. It just took longer.

Is this supposed to be a surprise? Are there any countries or cities run by blacks that are functional?
