In Zimbabwe is wasn’t the government that did the greatest damage to the white settlers but roving bands of black militia that killed and chased out the whites. The government did look the other way. It will go down the same way in SA.
Mugabe took the bread basket of Africa and turned in into a waste dump... don’t think for one minute that Government Policy had nothing to do with that.
As you said, the government looked the other way. And likely encouraged it.
