American Thinker: The corruption in South Africa is so bad, it’s like a noxious fog that has settled on a once peaceful, prosperous, and prejudiced nation. South African’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is being pilloried, pulled, and pushed from many sides, and many of the political players are more radical than he. He is busy trying to stay in power and get reelected later this year, but he has to deal with many warring factions inside and outside the African National Congress (ANC), plus the murder for hire of wayward members and multiple acts of sabotage in many major cities. Everyone seems to carry guns or has bodyguards even low-level provincial (state) leaders.
The ANC no longer stands for African National Congress but for Accumulation, Nepotism, and Cronyism. Corruption is one of the most used words by South Africans. Of course, this does not surprise anyone since one-party rule always results in cronyism, chaos, and corruption.
The corruption is ubiquitous, especially in the ANC, the political party that has been controlled by Communists from its earliest days and has governed South Africa since the end of the white minority government in 1994. The ANC is infamous for sabotage in earlier years and now that there are many factions within, it has returned to sabotage plus assassinations—of longtime comrades. It is now a fractured party with occasional episodes of the “Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral.” It seems every member in the national government and in the provinces has his hand out or worse—even putting out contracts on fellow members with whom they serve!
The New York Times last fall published an article, “Hit Men and Power” highlighting that “corruption and divisions have flourished within the A.N.C. in recent years.” It admits that too many have lost the vision of earlier years and are struggling for “influential positions and the spoils that go with them.” Thus far, few of the ANC officials in charge at the national or local levels have been held to account.
But the corruption is not only in the ANC but also in every facet of the nation: the schools, local governments, utilities, the mines, the police, the unions, South African Airlines, the rail service, and the banks. Plus, the political corruption in the ANC bleeds into all areas of national and local governments. Everyone seems to demand a bribe to do anything. more here
h/t forcibly deranged.
Oh, my bad, I thought you were talking about democrats again.
Couple years with Hillary in charge and this is what America would have turned into.
Old name: South Africa
New name: South Zimbabwe
The Progressive movement, since its inception, has been totally invested in increasing innocent human suffering, misery and death. Never concede “good intentions” to tem, it is never warranted.
I just had an epiphany!!!! I used to wonder why so many American fuktards embraced the whole apartheid movement in S.A………….. Doh!
THIS COMMIE SUCK
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
The South Africa of today is what is being forced onto the USA. Communist Black power rule. Black run cities are examples of how bad it is becoming. Baltimore and Atlanta to name two. When black thugs are allowed to run loose in urban areas, there will be no protection from attacks. Just as it is in S.A. now. The attacks against whites there are horrifically vile, pure savage torture. When generations of children are raised without moral instruction and experience only hate, anger, and brutality as examples of behavior, that is all they know. It is already happening in the US and can only get worse without internal redemption of soul. Christian morals and ethical character are condemned by Commie liberals as evidence of “white supremacy” or “toxic masculinity.” When evil is called good, and good is called evil.
Gosh, it’s almost like the aparteid government of the 90’s knew what they were doing. Oh well.
Billy Bob the serial rapist, Obammy, Hittlliary, and the Demoncrat party are striving hard to make the USA into the next 3rd world corrupt hell hole.

Just like the American Chamber of Commerce.
Like they say, “once you go black, you’ll never go back”.
Do they have nukes?
asking for a friend…
Lazlo carries black powder 44 for the amusement of the morgue staff
“Look here, he pissed off Davey Crockett”
“Nah, twas Ulysses S Grant himself that shot this lad”
This is what happens when malignant zoo creatures are given the keys.
Like Melvin said, “Who the fuk would give a gorilla (guerilla) a machine gun?”
A good friend has been known to say, “Give them enough time and they’ll uninvent the wheel”. He says it more often these days…
When the commie scumbag Mandela was elevated to mythical status worldwide by the left the nations collapse was predictable.
South Africa lost the will to live.
They threw up their hands in surrender and hoped for the best.
What they’re experiencing today is the best it’s gonna be – it’s all downhill from here – has been since they gave up the ghost.
You can figure that they’re about 1/4 way down the slope and accelerating into barbarism and chaos. War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death are knocking at the door.
Socialist totalitarianism is worse than the most feverish nightmare imaginable – think Gulag, KZ Camps, North Korean Prison, mexican prison, Turkish prison, torture chambers of the Inquisition, Gestapo headquarters, Prince George’s County lock-up, DC Jail, and Room 101 all rolled into one.
Hell on Earth – literally.
What we’ve got to look forward to if we surrender our Constitution, our traditions, our heritage, our polity, our civilization – to the tyranny of “socialist” totalitarianism.
