Blacks ruined the entire country faster than they’ve ruined our cities.
Africa wins again...
I visited S. Africa back in 2016, the writing was on the wall back then... It is insane that such a beautiful country with the resources it has, has been absolutely destroyed by the standard corruption and incompetence that is S.O.P. in Africa.
It’s predictable, but it’s still beyond sad.
Indeed. And sadly there is no place for us to move to that speaks English, with good economy, government, health care, banking, affordable living, conservative...
Sigh. It’s not fun living in the decline of an empire!
Chinese don’t suffer from suicidal “Chinese guilt” and don’t play the “systemic racism” game.
We’re on the way to becoming South Africa.
Look who runs America’s biggest cities.
Look at the commonality of South Africa, now run by Blacks, with many, not all, cities run by Blacks in the United States. Would indicate that in general, Blacks can’t run government very well.
Yep. They may end up regretting colonizing Africa, just like the Europeans.
Now it’s the Africans colonizing Europe.
“As it is the Bantu dominate nearly every office and election.”
And look who dominates our largest cities.
And that’s while whites are still a majority. Just wait a couple decades when we’re a minority.
“China will move in for the resources,the $$$ and the influence.”
Right...
The ChiComms are getting beat, stabbed, shot and killed all over Africa. Africans are reneging on paying back loans from China. And there’s not a thing the paper tiger ChiComms can do about it.
The only thing that matters is the color of the skin of the governing elite. And you can bet they are not having problems with their power grid.
I don’t thinkso.
Its just regression to being tribal Africans.
They learned nothing about what made the Whiteman successful Marxism moved in and it just became about the money. For tribal chiefs it’s all about getting what’s yours at the expense of the tribe. We call it corruption their response is this is Africa. This is how it works.
Its tribalism that has kept Africa down, not white oppression.
Transcript 0:00 · South Africa is in a state of emergency 0:02 · and it's insane 0:09 · [Music] 0:29 · [Music] 0:35 · I mean what do you expect from a country 0:36 · where the parliament looks like this you 0:39 · see some of us don't know English 0:41 · properly okay 1:00 · you know when you're proven right and 1:02 · you have every right in the world to go 1:04 · up to someone and say I told you so but 1:07 · you're the better man or better woman 1:09 · and you decide against it and you just 1:10 · keep your mouth shut 1:12 · well this isn't one of those times I'm 1:15 · going to say right now 1:17 · I bloody told you so 1:21 · now if you're wondering what I'm 1:22 · referring to 1:24 · a number of years back in Beijing I met 1:26 · up with a black South African lady 1:28 · who had a little bit of an issue with my 1:31 · videos about South Africa you see she 1:33 · thought that I was being unrealistic and 1:34 · too too harsh in my criticism of South 1:37 · African we had a very reasonable chat 1:39 · but constantly and during the chat she 1:42 · would push the the ANC party line that 1:45 · oh there's nothing wrong and that it's 1:48 · uh 1:49 · you know apartheid's fault that the 1:51 · Power Systems are failing in South 1:53 · Africa and that the ANC government is 1:56 · you know gonna fire up some old coal 1:58 · reactors everything's going to be fine 2:00 · they know what they're doing they're 2:01 · making a plan well guess what that's 2:04 · they didn't make a plan and now 2:06 · it's so bad in South Africa that the 2:08 · power is off between 6 and 13 hours a 2:13 · day 2:14 · now I'm not making this up guys for this 2:17 · entire year so far every single day of 2:19 · the year the power has been off 2:21 · Nationwide in South Africa and it just 2:24 · depends on your area 2:26 · and it depends on the time of year but 2:28 · it can be up to 16 hours of power off 2:32 · during the day 2:34 · now how this works it's called load 2:36 · shedding is you have an app from escom 2:38 · which is the the government-owned power 2:41 · company and it will alert you and it's 2:44 · going to say to you hey for instance 2:46 · you're going to have your power cut 2:47 · between 10 AM and 2 p.m okay and then 2:52 · you'll have it on for maybe two or three 2:54 · hours and then it'll go off between 6 pm 2:57 · and 9 p.m that type of thing you know 2:59 · and it'll add up so I'll just show you a 3:01 · screenshot I asked my my parents to send 3:03 · me a screenshot of their app the other 3:05 · day 3:06 · here it is 11 and a half hours of power 3:08 · cuts on that particular day 3:12 · now you might think to yourself well I 3:14 · mean that's kind of crazy and I'm pretty 3:16 · sure most of you out there aren't used 3:17 · to the idea of not having power at all 3:19 · if you live in a developed country even 3:21 · heck even in the developing world even 3:23 · if you're living in the back Waters of a 3:26 · developing World somewhere you probably 3:27 · have more power on during the day than 3:29 · South Africa but remember this has 3:31 · happened every single day this year and 3:33 · in the previous years pretty much the 3:35 · whole year it's the same deal 3:37 · but you may not realize just how bad 3:40 · this is think about it just yourself not 3:43 · only do you have to power all your 3:44 · normal devices like phones and computers 3:46 · and you know the usual stuff watching TV 3:48 · TVs all your electronic devices that you 3:51 · use every day you know that we take for 3:52 · granted your Apple watch everything has 3:55 · to be charged everything needs power 3:57 · forget those amenities think about the 3:59 · basics okay you're coming home from work 4:03 · and your garage door doesn't open 4:05 · because there's no power 4:07 · do you understand how devastating that 4:08 · can be to be locked out of your own 4:10 · house because you can't open up your 4:11 · electric gate you can't open up your 4:12 · garage 4:13 · anyway so you park your car you manually 4:17 · unlock your door you walk in you pull 4:18 · that lever you open up your garage 4:20 · whatever you can get into your house now 4:21 · you got no lights 4:23 · what if you need to go to the gas 4:24 · station to get some gas 4:26 · but the power is off and so the pumps 4:28 · aren't working so you can't pump gas now 4:30 · you might think that that's something 4:32 · that shouldn't happen they'll have 4:33 · backup power no before I left South 4:36 · Africa this happened to me a number of 4:37 · times 4:38 · I'd be very low on gas or petrol and I'd 4:42 · go to the local petrol station and the 4:43 · power would be off at the petrol station 4:45 · and I couldn't pump 4:47 · petrol or gas into my car and I'd have 4:49 · to make a plan and try to limp to the 4:52 · next station you know in a different 4:53 · area or whatever to try and find petrol 4:56 · it's basic things like this that you 4:58 · kind of don't think about 5:01 · if you own a business 5:03 · let's say a restaurant 5:05 · how do you keep your food fresh you have 5:08 · your meat you have your vegetables all 5:09 · your ingredients that are in the back in 5:11 · a big freezer or in fridges and they're 5:14 · all refrigerated and so on 5:16 · when the power goes off all your food 5:18 · goes bad because sometimes the power 5:20 · goes off not just for a couple of hours 5:22 · it can go for an entire day or entire 5:24 · week in some cases it depends on like 5:26 · the circumstances in the area but 5:28 · currently you can be guaranteed the 5:30 · power is going to go off for at least 5:32 · six hours a day minimum so they got six 5:35 · hours of your refrigerator is not 5:38 · working of course you can't run a 5:40 · restaurant like that okay and many have 5:42 · closed now a lot of you might think hey 5:43 · well what about just putting in a 5:45 · generator or some kind of solar panels 5:47 · and so on to mitigate this well here's 5:50 · the thing 5:51 · the average generator that you can buy 5:53 · you know you pull start or you know you 5:55 · buy these kind of fairly big you can buy 5:57 · something from Harbor Freight or you can 5:59 · buy a Honda or whatever well first of 6:01 · all they're expensive and second of all 6:03 · they actually suck 6:05 · you know the kind of generator that 6:07 · people take on an RV or they have in 6:08 · their shed or whatever that cannot power 6:11 · an industrial sized freezer in a 6:13 · restaurant that cannot power the big air 6:16 · conditioning units that are necessary to 6:18 · keep the restaurant nice and cool 6:21 · you know those kind of things can power 6:23 · small appliances here and there yeah I 6:25 · can power your personal fridge at home 6:27 · it can power your TV you know your very 6:29 · Basics but that can't power a business 6:31 · if you're going to power up a restaurant 6:33 · and I'm using a restaurant as an example 6:35 · here but this of course applies to every 6:37 · kind of business out there you need a 6:39 · big generator something that's capable 6:41 · of putting out the amount of wattage and 6:43 · energy that's needed to run large-scale 6:45 · systems and they're very expensive to 6:48 · buy incredibly expensive to buy 6:50 · especially in South Africa there's a 6:52 · premium on generators they're incredibly 6:54 · expensive to run not only just to 6:56 · maintain them but to actually fuel them 6:59 · with gas or with diesel or whatever they 7:01 · run on so if you're running a small 7:03 · restaurant it kind of destroys your 7:07 · business because well not only do you 7:09 · have to deal with the lights going off 7:11 · and the air conditioner is not working 7:12 · and all the food going bad in the back 7:14 · but if you do manage to keep things 7:17 · running with generators and so on now 7:18 · you've got a lot of noise 7:20 · and second of all it's going to cost you 7:23 · a lot more because now you've got a huge 7:24 · gas bill you know as in a petrol bill 7:26 · that you have to pay on top of all your 7:28 · rent in your your Staffing and all that 7:31 · kind of stuff so now you have to raise 7:32 · your prices so you get the idea it 7:34 · really doesn't work out so lots of small 7:36 · businesses in South Africa have of 7:38 · course had to shut down because of this 7:40 · and there's very little incentive to 7:42 · open a business under these 7:44 · circumstances 7:45 · we spend a lot of Our Lives turning 7:48 · things on 7:54 · always the 7:55 · big something 7:56 · fun productive wonderful nerve-wracking 8:01 · or just plain stupid 8:05 · there is however one thing we should 8:07 · never ever forget to turn on if we're 8:10 · using the internet and that is a VPN 8:13 · this video is brought to you by the VPN 8:15 · of my choice surfshark and what is a VPN 8:18 · well think of it as a secure tunnel that 8:21 · allows you to access anything online 8:23 · without prying eyes or even your 8:26 · internet service provider being able to 8:27 · see what you're doing 8:29 · it sucks being a single Fury am I right 8:32 · you know that incognito window thing no 8:34 · no that's not hiding anything 8:37 · a VPN will vpns are super useful to 8:40 · anyone who values their privacy and 8:42 · their data and of course an absolute 8:44 · must-have for those of us who travel or 8:46 · use internet out there in the wild the 8:48 · thing I like about Surf Shop the most is 8:51 · that it provides all of this peace of 8:52 · mind and security without hassling me 8:54 · seriously I may have to turn on all the 8:57 · devices I use but surf shark turns 8:59 · itself on always keeping me safe and 9:02 · always having my back the only time I 9:05 · need to fiddle with anything is when I'm 9:06 · choosing a specific server overseas so 9:08 · that I can watch a show that's blocked 9:10 · or unavailable in my country 9:13 · give surf shark a shot go to 9:15 · surfshark.deals forward slash serpents 9:18 · today and you'll get a massive discount 9:19 · off of a two-year plan and three extra 9:22 · months completely free 9:25 · and now back to the show 9:27 · now it's getting worse not better 9:30 · and um 9:32 · this state of emergency you know the 9:34 · president 9:36 · he um declared a state of emergency over 9:39 · this power thing and the only reason he 9:41 · declared a state of emergency is it 9:43 · gives the government certain leeway and 9:46 · powers to do things that normally would 9:48 · have to be approved through Parliament 9:49 · and stuff so if it's a state of 9:50 · emergency they don't have to agree on 9:52 · you know where this budget money goes it 9:55 · can just be used because it's a state of 9:57 · emergency so the state of emergency is 9:59 · just another excuse to steal money from 10:01 · the government it's not actually going 10:03 · to repair anything I'll tell you that 10:04 · much 10:05 · friend of mine received a letter from 10:07 · his insurance company in South Africa 10:09 · and the insurance company said that they 10:11 · will not cover any costs or damage 10:13 · related to complete grid failure 10:17 · now 10:19 · you know when insurance companies are 10:21 · trying to cover their ass like that that 10:22 · they suspect that something like that is 10:24 · going to happen why else would they be 10:26 · doing that he's not the only one who's 10:27 · received that sort of letter from their 10:30 · insurance company in South Africa for 10:32 · those of you who don't know what a 10:33 · complete grid failure is well if you've 10:36 · ever seen the movie Mad Max 10:38 · you know to the road warrior 10:41 · that's complete grid failure 10:43 · that's when the entire power grid stops 10:46 · working 10:47 · so you can no longer use the Machinery 10:50 · to pump the fuel to put into the trucks 10:52 · to drive the trucks to bring the fuel 10:54 · and the goods and the whatever's 10:56 · necessary to the different stations and 10:58 · power stations and and the grocery 11:00 · stores or whatever everything grinds to 11:02 · a halt the grocery stores no longer can 11:05 · fill the shelves because there's no 11:08 · transport anymore right because 11:10 · everything's messed up the computer 11:12 · systems that talk to each other to run 11:15 · everything that we're used to in our 11:17 · daily lives like the traffic lights and 11:19 · you know banking all that kind of stuff 11:21 · all shut down complete grid failure 11:23 · means complete chaos complete grid 11:25 · failure is a possibility for the near 11:28 · future in South Africa 11:30 · of course everything is going to be done 11:32 · to prevent this but I'm just saying if 11:34 · insurance companies are worried about it 11:37 · happening and sending letters to their 11:38 · clients you know that it's a definite 11:40 · possibility so that's how it stands in 11:42 · South Africa people are dealing with not 11:44 · having power every single day Nationwide 11:46 · but how did it get there 11:49 · well it's quite simple it's because the 11:51 · government wanted it to get there or the 11:53 · government was too incompetent to 11:54 · prevent it from getting there is 11:56 · actually more accurate you see 11:59 · the power infrastructure in South Africa 12:01 · was built during the 50s mostly the the 12:03 · current stuff 12:04 · and for all intents and purposes really 12:06 · good stuff did the job but when you've 12:09 · got aging power infrastructure like that 12:11 · it needs to be maintained it needs to be 12:13 · upgraded it needs to be expanded 12:16 · so when the ANC took over 12:18 · they were given the Playbook on how to 12:19 · do this 12:21 · Jacob Zuma in particular 12:24 · decided to give all of the money that 12:26 · was supposed to be used to upgrade and 12:28 · maintain the infrastructure 12:30 · to his family members through corrupt 12:32 · tenderpreneurship and so on so basically 12:34 · what you do is you say okay we need to 12:36 · upgrade the infrastructure you're my 12:38 · cousin I'm going to call you the new 12:40 · minister of upgrading infrastructure 12:42 · here's a couple of billion ran tender 12:44 · and go upgrade the infrastructure but 12:47 · actually don't worry about it just go 12:48 · buy yourself a bunch of BMWs in a 12:50 · mansion and call it a day so that's 12:52 · oversimplification of course but 12:54 · billions and billions of Rand that was 12:56 · meant to go to upgrading the 12:58 · infrastructure Rand by the way is the 13:00 · South African funny money 13:02 · um it's the currency which is completely 13:05 · useless now 13:06 · so anyway 13:08 · um all the money that was supposed to go 13:09 · into uh upgrading the infrastructure and 13:11 · fixing it 13:13 · got flushed down the toilet to 13:15 · corruption got given to family members 13:18 · so the first solution is of course out 13:20 · the window now you cannot really expect 13:22 · much from a government when the 13:24 · parliament looks like this 13:28 · I withdraw that 13:30 · thank you very much thank you very much 13:34 · so of course there is a way to quite 13:37 · easily overcome this issue and that is 13:39 · to allow private energy companies in to 13:43 · generate electricity and of course I've 13:45 · seen this all over the United States 13:47 · every state seems to have its own little 13:49 · you know power generation and gas 13:51 · provider and so on this is great because 13:53 · when you've got different Power 13:55 · providers of course there's a lot of 13:57 · competition involved you know they'll be 13:59 · striving to provide a better service 14:00 · than the other guy they'll be doing 14:02 · things like undercutting the prices to 14:04 · make themselves look more attractive uh 14:06 · you know to gain more clients so it's 14:07 · very healthy 14:08 · but the ANC government does not want 14:12 · private power companies to come in 14:13 · because then they won't get all the 14:15 · money they won't be able to steal the 14:17 · money because you have to understand 14:18 · that power is something that is so 14:21 · essential that nobody can go without it 14:22 · everybody needs it and so they have a 14:26 · Stranglehold on every single citizen in 14:28 · South Africa if you want Power the only 14:31 · way you can get it is to buy it from 14:33 · escom the government-owned ANC owned 14:37 · infiltrated corrupted entity escom so if 14:40 · another provider came in and could 14:42 · suddenly provide better power cheaper 14:44 · everybody would immediately flock to 14:47 · them and the government would lose out 14:49 · on all those billions of Rands of 14:52 · corrupt money to buy their latest 14:53 · Bentleys and uh private jets 14:56 · I actually have a case in point you see 14:58 · here we have a small town in South 14:59 · Africa where a private company had set 15:01 · up a solar farm now the solar farm was 15:03 · set up for their own purposes they got 15:05 · permission to do it but it was 15:07 · generating too much power and much more 15:09 · power than they were using so they put 15:11 · some of it back into the Grid in the 15:13 · local area and they actually pretty much 15:15 · got rid of load shedding for that little 15:17 · town so the power wouldn't be going out 15:20 · during the day because they were able to 15:21 · put so much power back in but the 15:23 · government actually sued them 15:25 · and prevented them from helping the 15:28 · local town have power during the day 15:30 · because they said it would set an 15:32 · unrealistic uh precedent and other 15:34 · people around the country would want to 15:37 · have the same amount of power during the 15:39 · day or the same axis and so 15:41 · um it's not something that they would 15:43 · allow so they actually stopped them from 15:45 · doing it you see corruption 15:48 · in its pure form like the ANC government 15:51 · is something that simply cannot be 15:54 · tackled 15:55 · you see it's transparent corruption 15:58 · everybody knows the government is 16:00 · corrupt they know everybody knows that 16:03 · they're corrupt but nobody can do 16:04 · anything about it so they just go on 16:07 · being corrupt they'll sign away new laws 16:10 · they'll sign new things into Parliament 16:11 · and all of it is an aid of their 16:14 · corruption 16:16 · South Africa is a joke 16:19 · it's what I said many years ago it's 16:22 · what I've always said there's a reason I 16:23 · left my country of birth there's a 16:25 · reason why I will never go back anyone 16:28 · who is a South African knows exactly 16:30 · what I'm talking about doesn't matter 16:32 · even the people that are pro A and C 16:33 · they know that it's a corrupt mess of a 16:36 · government it's a corrupt useless 16:37 · government 16:39 · um and you know with this very little 16:41 · that can actually be done about it 16:42 · unfortunately 16:44 · once again I'm going to use this 16:46 · opportunity to say 16:48 · I told you so 16:50 · maybe you can start out and explain what 16:52 · it is you disagree with that video well 16:55 · uh I think the first one the big one is 16:58 · that infrastructure is uh is becoming 17:02 · infrastructure is failing in South 17:04 · Africa so I don't know if I agree with 17:06 · that it is something that's happening 17:09 · it's a real thing well the power going 17:11 · out that's been rectified in my area the 17:14 · power does not go out as frequently as 17:16 · it used to 17:17 · I told you so 17:19 · I told you so 17:23 · to sum up this video South Africa is in 17:25 · a far worse place than it's ever been 17:28 · on top of the fact that there's no power 17:30 · there's close to 50 percent unemployment 17:33 · rate you know it's like 48.7 or 17:35 · something like that there's a huge I 17:36 · mean can you imagine half of your 17:38 · population being unemployed you know 17:40 · what that leads to when half of the 17:42 · people are lying around out there just 17:45 · ambling around during the day trying to 17:47 · find a way to survive it just leads to 17:49 · Crime because there's no other option 17:52 · what are you gonna do if you want to 17:53 · have clothing if you want to have food 17:55 · you want to be able to buy something how 17:58 · do you do it you need money you're not 18:00 · going to get money by chewing the grass 18:01 · on the side of the road are you you have 18:03 · to go and Rob people steel rape kill 18:05 · murder maim all that kind of stuff 18:07 · that's what happens in South Africa it's 18:10 · incredibly dangerous to live there 18:12 · it's incredibly difficult to make a 18:14 · living there because not only do you 18:16 · have to put up with the the crime and 18:18 · the the constant 18:20 · for lack of a better word pestering by 18:22 · the government to try and eat every 18:24 · scent they can out of you because it's a 18:26 · corrupt government that has no money and 18:27 · keeps trying to find ways to to get 18:29 · people to to pay them more money you 18:32 · have to deal with that but you also have 18:33 · to deal with the basic infrastructure 18:35 · going out so yeah Power going out 18:37 · traffic light's not working all that 18:38 · kind of stuff I mean it's just a 18:41 · non-starter 18:42 · anyone who's smart or had the means has 18:45 · left already everyone who's trapped 18:47 · there I implore you if you have the 18:49 · chance if you have the means it doesn't 18:50 · matter who you are what background 18:52 · you're from get out of South Africa 18:55 · seriously you can go to uh anywhere else 18:58 · in the world anywhere in the developing 19:01 · world and it's better than South Africa 19:04 · right now because at least you have a 19:06 · chance because the power is on eh anyway 19:10 · guys I really really appreciate you 19:12 · watching my videos thank you I hope this 19:14 · is giving you a little bit of insight 19:15 · into uh where I come from I do of course 19:19 · criticize the Chinese government a lot 19:21 · that's what my channel is mainly about 19:22 · but I would

Why because the South Africa version of the Communists, the ANC, has behaved like all Communists, in that its all about power, getting power and keeping power and eveything else is second, or last, and subservient to the demands of that power and the thurst to keep it.

I read it and it was sobering.
My one comment I suppose is, unlike the leftists in the west, we can safely say Africa and Africans are nothing like the West and Europeans and we will never make them into a little version of the West.
Dark Africa will probably remain that way.
I agree with that I am sorry to say.
