Interesting article. I think we in the US are headed towards a similar situation - government by a “Big Man,” collapsing infrastructure (watch for the Feds to start rationing electricity on “environmental” grounds), and an economic system that can only be described as a kleptocracy (state -controlled, as are all good kleptocracies).

Hitchens is absolutely right about the tolerance of Mandela’s political defects as having led directly to this situation in SA. The tolerance of the political excesses of the soft left always results in the consolidation and sudden emergence of the hard left.

The good news is that from the photo it appears that the communists running (ruining) South Africa are well nourished.

Unfortunately, America (et al) has helped kill the goose that laid the golden egg in Dark Africa. Our socialist politicians can rejoice in what their actions have created in a once great nation.

I bet a lot of South Africans are starting to think the apartheid regime wasn’t so bad, in retrospect.

Imagine if a communist traitor mole was elected as POTUS.

That happened too.

Looks like a relative to “Baby Doc” Duvalier or maybe one of his Tonton Macoutes.

Zuma is the leader picked by the far-left hard communist youth in the ANC, who became frustrated with Mandela and Mbeki for not going the way Mugabe did. Zuma will not disappoint them.

For the first time there is a viable alternative though, hopefully COPE can stop them getting a parliamentary majority and stop them from passing a law that will prevent the prosecution of sitting presidents. It’s a big if though, there are no guarantees that the election will be fair.

The World Cup is in S. Africa next year. There will be visitors from around the world. I will be curious to see the crime statistics during the World Cup.

Imagine how you would react if Gordon Brown opened and closed his election rallies by bursting into a song called Bring Me My Machine Gun, swaying and jigging to the hypnotic chorus of this menacing ditty.

I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see/I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see/When I kill all the whiteys I see/Then whitey won't bother me/I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see
