2. If the country were divided...the Cape Town region (extending 200 miles up the coast, and 100 miles to the east) would do fairly well, compared to the rest of the nation.

Give it 20 years or so. Seems inevitable. We have plenty of examples in Europe. Czechoslovakia. Yugoslavia.

I was there for 3 weeks and found the nation to be confusing. We stayed for a week in at a Holiday Ibn where the Mabager was Black. The couple in the next room were Black.Taking our time we drove to Durban and stayed in a hotel that had the best accommodations and food that we’d anywhere. Blacks
and whites were observed at mealtimes.

South Africa has made TREMENDOUS strides in their DEI over the past 30 years.

Black leadership shows their ability to lead and provide with their characteristic skill and caring. Coming to the US to a community near you...whites need not apply.

Wait til they find out that the new private wells need electric pumps to bring the water up, if there’s any depth at all.

Hand pumps will only get you so far. And they take a lot of work!

Yea, but at least those nasty white people aren’t running things any more. That’s all that really matters.

China is licking its chops to come to the rescue along with the establishment of a naval base.

Africans are VERY SLOW LEARNERS——

Zimbabwe used to produce 90% of items sold to other parts of Africa.

NOW—Zimbabwe IMPORTS 93% of what they use EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I remember the celebrations when commie thug Mendela was making his speech upon release. And oh how great it would be when Africans ran Africa again....

Africa is Africa because Africans. Africans enjoy living in violent squalor.

King Goodwill Zwelithin ka Bhekuzului, left, met in 1995 with President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, center, and the Inkatha Freedom Party leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The king was the traditional leader of nearly 20 percent of South Africa’s population.

They should have gone with the Zulu King.

Chief Buthelezi was a good man, and would have been much better than Mandela.

South Africa and Jackson, Mississippi - what’s the common denominator to not being able to maintain infrastructure?
