I wonder how this influences Elon’s perception of global governance.

I hope they don’t blame colonialism.

Haven’t they been doing that for many decades?

He didn’t go around confiscating property, at least. Once he croaked, however, they had to make a new Zimbabwe. Have fun.

Wow, that’s crazy.

I have some SA emigre friends who have been here a similar amount of time.

She will simply NEVER go back for any reason.

He goes back for business periodically.

Both are damn glad to be here. They know what is what regarding Mandela. English decendents.

Africa has great leadership—for the leaders.

They steal everything in sight.

That is what leadership is supposed to be—right?

The famous book “Cry the Beloved Country” was written in 1948 and envisioned black majority rule. The author’s wife wrote an epic “opus” when she fled South Africa (her husband had died earlier).

My daughter in High School had to read the book and write a review. As part of her review (and rebuttal of the ideas in the book) she provided the widow’s letter and a review of the letter.

Link to her 1998 letter:

https://www.ourcivilisation.com/cry.htm

An excerpt:

As a result of the startling success of this book, my husband became famous for his impassioned speeches and writings, which brought to the notice of the world the suffering of the black man under Apartheid.

He campaigned for Nelson Mandelaʼs release from prison and he worked all his life for black majority rule. He was incredibly hopeful about the new South Africa that would follow the end of Apartheid, but he died in 1988, aged 85.

I was so sorry he did not witness the euphoria and love at the time of the election in 1994. But I am glad he is not alive now. He would have been so distressed to see what has happened to his beloved country. [Without Apartheid]

I love this country with a passion, but I cannot live here anymore. I can no longer live slung about with panic buttons and gear locks. I am tired of driving with my car windows closed and the doors locked, tired of being afraid of stopping at red lights. I am tired of being constantly on the alert, having that sudden frisson of fear at the sight of a shadow by the gate, of a group of youths approaching-although nine times out of 10 they are innocent of harmful intent. Such is the suspicion that dogs us all.

Among my friends and the friends of my friends, I know of nine people who have been murdered in the past four years.

Surprise! Look what happens when black peoplw take over. A successful country for hundreds of year under white leadership is ruined in less than 50.

“The country’s power grid has fallen well below the break-even point of energy generation and consumption. Rolling blackouts happen every day and much of the country is left without lights or heat. The roads are impassible in many areas and there is no money to repair them.”

…are we talking about California or South Africa?

They decided to vote themselves money instead of working for it. Same path the USA is on. Sloth.

This is what happens when governments follow Critical Race Theory.

It was only a matter of time in South Africa until the corruptocrats took over.

We can see the same thing happening here in real time.
