Do you think the system that replaced apartheid is better? Apartheid had to end, but there were options other than to accept all of the communist ANC proposals en masse. Minority and property rights should have been entrenched in the constitution, a federal system should have been instituted and the death penalty never abolished. The interim government which was supposed to write the constitution was dominated by the ANC, and the whites capitulated.

Tutu's truth and reconciliation commission was also responsible for indemnifying many of the ANC leaders, without following the rules of the commission. 60 Of the top leaders were not required to even testify, and received amnesty, instead of being prosecuted as stated by the relevant laws. He sure was responsible for letting those guys loose on SA, now he's complaining?

I'm getting sick of discussing these issues in this forum. Most people spout ignorant crap. They should be thankful that they were not educated blacks living in these countries under colonial rule, as third and fourth class citizens.

Aside from the badly managed exit of the previous government, they have the Chinese to worry about. I hear they're hiring Cubans to teach there, high unemployment amongst SA's nothwithstanding.
