DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!

As soon as Mandela dies, look for Mbeki to institute Mugabe-like land "reforms." It is no surprise that a vast majority of Mbeki's cabinet and personal associates were involved with South Africa's formerly outlawed Communist Party.

When the 'old man' finally kicks the bucket, Capitalism will die a violent death. South Africa will be a USAid basket case within 2 years post-Mandela.

Whatever the hardship they think they face in London or Perth will pale in comparison to the mob they'll face in Jo'berg.

You can take that to the bank.

I asked a friend or two what they think of Nelson Mandela, not as hated I thought he would be amongst the afrikaans speaking set. He's pretty much what keeps 'popular media' interested in South Africa, I hate to say. I think Oprah's concern about orphans are genuine but she wouldn't be going there if it weren't for Mandela.

Good post... I agree...Mbeki is already chomping at the bit. They're eyeballing the few provinces that aren't pro-ANC, all those black SAs who won't be voting for him. They'll get a 'Zimbabwe judge style' visit from the State Police pretty soon.

the other thing is...these people are not moving back to live like other South Africans....

they're moving back so they can live in rich, white enclaves and far away from Black South Africa...

isn't it nice to know that these people just want to get back so their money will buy them more luxury and comfort...

real nationalism.....

PLease leave us alone in America, you whiners....
