I disdain the billboard with Mandela’s face and the words “What one man can do”. Yea, right.

Some cultures seem to be incompatible with either capitalism or democracy. Attempting to transition them before they are capable usually leads to disaster.

I had a factory there in the 80’s. The economy was doing great. The aparthide only effected neighborhoods. The blacks came down from Northern Africa to get jobs and a good life. then the lefties from CA cut off the $ and the economy crashed. I had to close my plant. I had a lot of blacks in training for factory and admin jobs. A car factory closed and laid off 3000 employees. The left (people who get their ego satisfaction out of controlling people) have destroyed almost every society through out history. Thank God for Trump!!

" something sure changed."

It's simple. The country switched from British apartheid government to black majority rule.

‘The ANC has ALWAYS been COMMIE!’


The South African economy has been nearly entirely run by the private sector and there was no massive and systematic campaign of confiscation typical of any communist regime. So the ANC has wrecked South Africa without the need of communism.

Because you think they are commies does not make it so, it just shows your denial of the real cause of SA demise (hint: the bell curve) but it is also an insult to the victims of real communism.

‘Mandela was a USSR trained COMMIE’

Mandela has never been in the USSR or trained by Soviets. When you lie, at least try less stupid and obvious lies.

You truly have less than NO idea what you're talking about! Even during Apartheid, the GOVERNMENT ran the newspapers and T.V.! Under the ANC reign, very they became even MORE stringent re what could be read, seen, and heard.

The reason that there wasn't ever a "Hippy movement" and ALL that that entailed, in RSA, is because the government wouldn't allow to be.

About a year after Mandela took over, the major newspapers ran 3/4 of the front pages reading BRING BACK APARTHEID, in one form or another and the whites had all be replaced with blacks.

Since many South Africans have personally told me that 1) "Mandela is a Commie 2) that the ANC are COMMIES, and 3) what I know from reading their newspapers for decades 4)my knowing the factual history of the ANC, I am stating FACTS.

Unlike you, who are relying on "THE BELL CURVE", of all things ( and yes, I've read and own that book ), instead of actually knowing people who are originally from there and people who are still living there, as I do, your suppositions are baseless.

ROTFLMSO!

The ANC was formed my whites who were Stalinist Commies, trained by the USSR; just like the Commie cells in America!

And eventually, the blacks, in RSA, whom they trained, murdered most of them! Do got do a search and find out the unassailable truth/facts!

I allegedly hear tell that they allegedly gave their alleged nuclear weapons to a country allegedly called “Israel”, which allegedly might also have alleged nuclear weapons allegedly of its own.

Allegedly.

Vela incident.

Israel and SA traded nuke secrets and testing between them. Then came the apartheid nonsense and SA collapsed into a 5th world country. Johannesburg was a beautiful city in the day.

And one other thing...not all blacks, anywhere, have low IQs, nor are they uneducated and/or are poor.

"Saint Nelson" came from a wealthy family, was well educate( as far as where and how many college/university degrees he had ), for example and he wasn't the only such example.

Yes, IQs vary from race to race, from ethnicity to ethnicity, but sweeping statements only make you look foolish.

Have some of RSA's black presidents been idiots? Yes indeed. But that's also true of some of our presidents!

About 35 years ago I was working on a tech project with a young man from S. Africa. He was anxious to return home because he said it was like Paradise.

That was before the "divestment" began.
