Due to the inequalities of the past, the education of most of the black children is still not on par to fill these gaps.

That sentence doesn't even make sense.

In the workforce, you have a one month grace period to blame all problems on the guy that just left. Afterwards, it's all yours. How long does whitey have to take the blame in SA? Last one out please turn the lights out.

Rhodesia, the former "breadbasket of Africa", kicked out whitey in 1980 and whitey is still taking the blame for Zimbabwe's deterioration and chaos 26 years later. The answer to your question is: forever.

Exactly, and well said. S.A. is Zimbabwe South; the only variable is time.

I've been trying to figure out how to short the S.A. Rand for years. Looks like I might just have to bite the bullet and sell futures on CME/IMM on any rally for the next five years.

If ever there was a currency that is absolute toast over time, it's the Rand. My sympathies to those remaining in S.A. -- my sister spend several months there a couple-three years ago, judging horse shows, of all things, and reports that the countryside and the people there are both quite wonderful.

She spent no time at all in what now passes for ''major'' cities there. Draw your own conclusions.

I noticed that line too. We are still being blamed in America so I don't doubt it will be an infinite blame game in SA too.
