Your statement is just stupid. Many of the people there have tried to leave for years. They are unable to get their money and goods out. It's real hard to pick up and leave where your family has been for hundreds of years, with nothing.

On top of that where do you go? For years no country on earth would take you if you had a Zim or South African passport. Unless you could get an Irish or UK one you were stuck.

I worked for years helping a handful of people get a small amount out of both places, lived and worked there a couple of years and have a niece married to a South African who's family of doctors got out because they could get British passports.

However what I wanted to say was along the lines of - &%^ ^%# % ^&%$#* *&^$(*& a$$!!!

Well, we'll just have to have a difference of opinion. The transition from minority white rule began in 1979, which is now 25 years ago. Some insightful European Jews were able to exit Europe in considerably less than a quarter century before WWII. Once the transition to African tribal rule was complete, why did any of the resident whites think that the Western-style 'rule of law', much less their property and politicalstanding would be maintained?

Africa has a poor history of the end of colonial rule. One man, one vote, one time.
