South Africa gone down the Zimbabwe route.

All the eggs (contracts) in one corrupt basket and when they're rumbled and skip the country govt just sits around with fingers stuck up their nostrils wondering WTF happened. For all its faults, you still had to have a clue rather than just the correct shade of hide to be given the job under the old regime.
 
Now here's a charming fella, makes you glad not to be living in South Africa

But he's not racist, only white people can be racist remember

I don't think anyone said that only whites can be racist..well maybe they do....but plenty of racism to spread around people of all color. End of the day, discriminating someone based on their skin color is beyond stupid and idiotic.
 
Passing mention of EFF and other groups urging peope to kill whites daily while dwelling on the actions of a minor fuckwit whose been dead ten years.

No bias there...
 
Pushing the company line, I guess. It's all about working farmland (and other property) to be seized while ignoring the 20 million odd hectares of govt land lying about unused because it's not developed by the work and sacrifice of others.

There was a hilarious short segment here on the BBC the other day. Something about this one blik and one afrikaner farmers working together to put out a bush fire on their adjoining lands. They made it out like everything was all peachy and they spent their evenings around a fire singing kumbaya, around the country. From this one example/ data point. There was so much cringe in the report, I had to change the channel.
 
Mostly there's no real shit but govt relies on being divisive to get votes. If they don't have an enemy to rail against, blame for all their cock ups and punish, the masses will start seeing them for the incompetent and greedy thieves they are. Can't have that so divisive rhetoric is the order of the day.

Around election time it ramps up and the old bogey man is dragged out from under the bed, dusted off and used to frighten the masses. Elections next year, so the next four or five months will be filled with threats of enslavement and mass killing of peace loving black folks if the opposition, whom the ANC and EFF tout as a white party despite being run by an ex ANC activist and having more black and mixed race supporters than white, get anywhere near being voted into power.
 
Quite. Most of the trouble in SA is caused by the ANC regime in order to hold onto their seats at the gravy trough. They're unable to improve things and build up the country so they allow it to fall apart and blame the old scapegoat for everything they've destroyed. The honeymoon period after 1994 saw investors falling over each other to get into SA and throwing money at the country. Didn't take long for reality to set in and their disillusionment with the new regime's incompetence and trough snuffling ways. No reason at all to invest in a failed state and that's what it is.

Like Zim, people are beginning to question them so just like Zim, land grabs are being touted to hold onto power a bit longer by bribing the masses. We all know where that led.

I have no fucking idea what the idiot west/left were thinking wanting this shower of shit in charge of a working economy.

The sad part to the whole story is that ANC got a pretty well functioning (by any standards) country handed over to them by the previous lot. It's not like they inherited a shit show, quite the contrary. Sure, there were plenty of things to be improved, blacks did need to be empowered more (land etc.) and their lifestyles improved, but SA was in an enviable place compared to lots of other countries, with plenty of natural resources to boot. Even if they didn't actively govern by introducing intelligent policies, I recon the place would've taken care of itself gradually, just by bare maintenance.
 
Entirely possible. Problem is too much was siphoned off by the regime to line their pockets and those of their cronies, until tipping point was reached and passed. No real hope of recovery after that without drastic measures. Those drastic measure are not at all PC and would have the snowflakes gasping into their lattes if implemented.
