On stage in a stadium in Soweto, the township at the heart of the uprising against apartheid, South Africas president, in a green and gold leather jacket, was dancing a Zulu war jig. A court order against hate speech meant Jacob Zuma, a former cattle herder, was banned from singing his favourite liberation songs, including Bring Me My Machine Gun and Shoot The Boer. But, after listening to speeches in which a succession of obsequious cronies described him as a giant alongside African leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Zuma delighted supporters at his 75th birthday celebrations a few days ago with fiery rhetoric instead and in doing so sounded the death knell for the Rainbow Nation.

Yes, they might do well in Australia or New Zealand...but how hard is it to qualify as an immigrant? I recall some discussion a while back about New Zealand...if you are over 55, it is apparently impossible to immigrate unless you can bring in $750,000.
I wonder if they would qualify as refugees? fleeing from violence and genocide?
My kids had to read “Cry the Beloved Country” - written by some Swedish guy that lived in South Africa. It is promoted in the schools to show how bad Apartheid was.
In researching it for myself I can across an article in a magazine that used the same title. It was written by the Swedish author’s widow - she still lived in South Africa. But the article was her explanation of her fleeing. She said that even in her nice home with a big fence in a walled community, she wasn’t safe. Neighbors, perhaps herself, had been robbed, etc. Her article was basically saying how her husband’s ideas and goals of majority rule that he had written about were a failure. And she was now leaving her country (I think she was born there? Hence she cried over what her country had become.)
It's a beautifully-written book and quite interesting. There is a black rabble-rouser in Johannesburg who is of the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton ilk...not portrayed in a positive light.
I've read that and one other of his novels--Too Late the Phalarope. That one gives you the sense of how the Boers saw themselves as a Chosen People like the Israelites, adhering to a strict moral code.
Pamwe Chete .....
Dear squanto,
re: “Pamwe Chete .....”
Since i do not speak Algonquin, “whut d’at?”
Wonder if Merkel, in the event of full scale civil war, would open up Europe to thousands of white SA refugees? I doubt it.
You're serious? Do you really think people are going to start working together over there?
I said “I hope”.
The DA seems to be the basis of a potential sane spin-off nation of S. Africans that want something better.
If they happen to control the Western Cape in a split, then that’s something to be hopeful for.
How do you sponsor a family or single person that wants to come to US? I would help but it doesn’t appear obvious. Just googled and got storm front. That wasn’t a good sign.
SA was political correctness on steroids. They had nukes and now what?
I have been to South Africa back in 2003, I agree with you 100%. If you are a White South African, you need to get your family out. There will not be enough decent Black South Africans to protect you.
Think about the Jews in Germany back in 1930’s before the haters had full power. This is your early 1930’s before someone who is real bad takes complete power, please get your families out now.
