Rol, I sure don't disagree with you- years ago I was a supporter of the RSA, not because I cared for Apartheid ( no way! ) but because they were "the best hope." I believed that if left in peace, South Africans would work out their difficulties, given time & encouragement. Alas, it was not permitted. The gathering chaos in Zim is but a harbinger for most of Africa now, It is a pity.

I recall reading that many business's hated the apartheid laws, because it interfered with finding and keeping god workers. Everytime I look at that continent I just get depressed. It's a continent in the process of slow motion suicide.
