Won't be long now.

Smell of revolution in the air.

I'm sure that many South Africans would embrace what you suggest, but how?  The common folk have been prevented from ever acquiring real weapons and so they have no power beyond a vote, if there is any such thing as a meaningful vote in South Africa.  If they are unable to vote themselves new leadership then they will either be faced with a martial law clampdown and / or the threat of a coup, which would most likely continue the endless cycle of poverty, oppression, dictatorship, and war that has plagued so many other African nations ever since long before I was born.  I don't see a possibility of meaningful reform in the current SA government....too much corruption.  The future looks very grim.

Come a day. The French revolution was won by spades and shovels, wielded by people maddened beyond all hope by an indifferent monarchy.

Wait and see. The age of revolution is not over.
