Hi all
Thanks for the replies. Answering some of the questions , lets start.
South Africa WAS a beautiful country , an abundance of raw materials some of the most fertile farm land in the world and amongst the European population a very good work ethic , very Calvinist , so all in all a recipe to build a very vibrant and strong economy and society. Unfortunately to start many of the Europeans and especially those of Dutch decent called Afrikaaners were very narrow minded and did not allow European immigration in the beginning of the 20th century as well as supporting Nazi Germany due to the fact that the English threw them into concentration camps during the 2nd Anglo Boer war. The English came to South Africa basically to steal the raw materials and still do today. Anyway the the biggest problem today is the Black population. Their numbers have spiraled out of control and there has been a massive influx of illegals from Pakistan , Zimbabwe and the rest from Africa. The situation since the ANC has taken power has been worse than bad. Corruption , nepotism and violent crime are the norms couple that with failed economical policy ( Affirmative action and Neo Communist labor law ) is bringing the country to its knees. In short blacks cannot rule a country. As a good friend told me they are the 11th plague not mentioned in the Torah !!!!!!!!!
I will be starting a thread on this forum on news and commentary from South Africa next week
