I’ve lived in Africa and other 3rd/4th world places. He meant what he said, and I’ve heard that sentiment directly, too, that one can easily go back to the way they used to live, i.e. primitively. They don’t feel they need things like electricity or medical services. Lazy and fatalistic...sad.
Hate and racism is an ugly thing. If your white (or smart) you would get out of South Africa ASAP. Blacks, so it seems, do not want equality, they what revenge. South Africa is creeping towards Civil War and destruction.
