It's hard to believe. After reading this article, it appears that Mbeki was not so bad after all. His economic policies were effective enough to convince 5 million Afrikaners to stay and use their skills in the economy(despite the high crime rate).
Now the question is with Zuma coming in and what would he do? If he acts like one bit similiar to Mugabe, he can kiss the productive Whites good bye and the country will turn into another Zimbabwe.
