It could possibly be real. There's no accounting for human stupidity. But as you say, it sounds more like a manufactured provocation. Only the more radical black factions have anything to gain by it.
I don't like Nelson Mandela. But I credit his presence on the scene with holding South Africa together. Once he dies, I think all hell will break loose. The present situation is inherently unstable, and the only likely outcome I can see is that the whites will all be driven out and the country will go down the tubes like most of the rest of Africa. At some future time, under the influence of Christianity, maybe the blacks in Africa can pull themselves together and build a civilization, but it looks as if they have to go through chaos first to get there.

Well said. The only part I'd differ with is that the country is going to hell in a handbasket even with Mandela around.
Gee, things going down hill after a communist government is put in place? Who'd a figured?

christianity seems to be growing in africa, but the muslim religion also seems to be growing in africa.
If I were in south africa, then I'd just want to leave and go to england or to the US. But a lot of whites over there feel they have very deep roots in africa and they don't want to leave at all.
