Few things are more disturbing than the collaborative media silence that attends the ongoing disintegration of post-apartheid South Africa.
The nation’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), led by President Jacob Zuma, is the essence of corruption in a nation with one of the highest rates of rape in the world, and a murder rate best described last September by MP Dianne Kohler Barnard of the Democratic Alliance, the nation’s second largest political party. “We have 47 murders a day,” she said. “That sort of figure is what one would expect in a war zone.”
In her book, “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” author Ilana Mercer cuts through the tyranny of political correctness that surrounds the ostensible improvement that was supposed to have emerged in that nation, following the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990, and the subsequent adoption of a new constitution in 1994, enfranchising blacks and other minorities. While she rightly describes the “terrible injustice” of the apartheid regime that produced an average of 7,036 people murdered per year, she reveals the Western-celebrated ANC government saw an average of 24,026 murders annually in the first eight years of its existence.
When yer only talent is to shit where you eat and blame others for your own stupidity don’t expect yer lot in life to ever change…. Detroit!
Isn’t it amazing that, until 1994 the injustices of South Africa were headline news 24/7. Then, after they adopted Obama-Style Policies it was as if they dropped off the face of the earth.
We know a German fellow who moved to SA and he had a “fireproof” safe room built into his home. Why the heck would you stay in a hellhole where you need such a thing?! Nuts!
Blacks and communism-what could go wrong?
Looks like low hanging fruit for Islam, can’t believe they’re not down there right now.
If only they had gun control…
“South Africa’s current firearms regulatory framework consists of the Firearms Control Act (FCA) and its subsidiary legislation, which has been in place since 2004. This framework imposes strict substantive and procedural requirements for obtaining a competency certificate, license, permit, or authorization to possess a firearm, to deal in firearms, or to carry out other firearm-related activities, including running a firearms-training enterprise or a hunting business…Limited, mostly secondary sources located for this report point to a decrease in firearms-related crimes since the FCA came into force, although none of the sources establish a direct causal effect.”
At least they’re honest about that.

Truth be told, this is not isolated to South Africa or Detroit or any place where blacks claim mistreatment. Everywhere in the world, blacks have the highest violent crimes/murders per thousand by a large margin.
Interpol and Canada both used to report this regularly but stopped about 20 years ago due to political correctness.
We need to re-think this whole colonial thing.
They would benefit from the trains running on time.
I was sent to “look after” America’s interests, an evacuation in Rohdesia in ’77. I saw things a young man should never see. The lands were handed over to new rule. It was the “bread basket” of Africa. They sold grains to Russia and other places in the east. The entire place was burned and looted…… It is now called Zimbabwe.
Worst duty I ever had.
Jag,
I have heard your story time & time again about Africa
from other military and professional folks like you.
God Bless You for serving our great country.
