No,you haven't posted anything about the topic of this thread,until right nows,because I coerced you into it.And everyone can see that I did (post about the topic),long before you came onto this thread.That too matters. And what you began posting,had less than nothing at all to do with what I had posted to this thread before you came onto it.You're playing games now,attempting to diffuse the fact that you brought an agenda to the thread and don't care anything at all about the topic put up for discussion,with the posting of the article of the thread.
And I know well,people who left South Africa before,right after,and years after the end of Apartheid,as well as people who are still there and want to leave/don't want to leave.Thus,I can speak to the topic of this thread.
"It matters greatly,that you aren't in contact with South Africans who actually live there still and don't read any of the newspapers from there."
I never said I wasn't in contact with South Africans in South African and I never said that I don't read any of the newspaper from there.
"And everyone can see that I did (post about the topic),long before you came onto this thread."

"You're playing games now,attempting to diffuse the fact that you brought an agenda to the thread"
I'll be quite blunt. I came to this thread with an agenda and that agenda is best illustrated by in #21: " If there is a 'brewing Genocide' then let's identify it and stop it (as was the case with the Apartheid government's bioterror policies mentioned above) instead of waiting for it to happen and then grimly and smugly harrumpf that everything would have been better if they stuck with Apartheid. "
"And I know well,people who left South Africa before,right after,and years after the end of Apartheid,as well as people who are still there and want to leave/don't want to leave."
I know well people in these situations too.
"Thus,I can speak to the topic of this thread."
It's a free republic. Nobody can stop you. Same goes for me.
