Is it inevitably heading down the same road as Rhodesia?

[douglas9401]

No, it can't be saved. It's a zoo where the keepers are drunk or gone.

I don't think that I am legally allowed to express my reaction to this video.

[david small]

Oh, the humanity.....from primeval slime we emerged, but not all of us.
Several centuries must elapse before civilisation deserves the name.

[Apariah]

Yes, most likely to head the same way as Rhodesia and other Africa Nations.

Time again we see this, kick the whites and Asians into touch and the country goes to Hell.

I don't know. It's a beautiful country. I've been going there for my holidays for 12 years. The townships are horrific. It's unbelievable the conditions people live in. The government replaced some of the corrugated iron sheds with concrete bunkers so it didn't look "too" bad when tourists drove past during the football World Cup a couple of years ago. The mentality of "life is cheap" remains though. Blacks are still second class citizens; women are fodder for whatever.

//Blacks are still second class citizens//

Hmm, not all of them.

[Cloverjo]

No not all. But you rarely see a white person serving a black person in a hotel or restaurant.

[ummmm]

That's horrendous.

[youngmafbog]

Maybe, but as the country has Black rulers that can hardly be the fault of the whites, especially after 20 years of "Black rule". Hence my sarcastic comment 'not all of them'.

[Cloverjo]

Sorry, I didn't get your sarcasm. My view remains the same, however.

[naomi24]

No, I don't think it can be saved. The reference to Aids is interesting. A South African doctor friend told me that she’d warned a man suffering from Aids not to have unprotected sex with anyone because he would ‘give it’ to them. When she next spoke to him, he confessed he had had unprotected sex, and was now convinced that since he had ‘given’ it to the partner, he was no longer infected. A mind-set not unusual in Africa.

[ummmm]

That's what it says in the video, Naomi. A man raped a child thinking it would cure him.

[naomi24]

Exactly. It's par for the course.

[Cloverjo]

The newspapers there are always full of stories of rape and murder. Thankfully, as tourists we don't see it, but it happens all the time. I don't know what can be done. Does it help that their national cricket team has to have 4 non-white players? At least they have something to aspire to? I don't know.

[retrocop]

Non white cricket players aren't flavour of the week in another country.
Oh Yes.Female harassment or banter is the charge plus alleged flashing.

[anotheoldgit]

Although the dictionary definition of a racist is "a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another".

Is this actually a true definition?

Or is it not racist for a person to believe that some countries are superior to others?

[bazwillrun]

Yup...SA has really come a long way since they got Black rule.....

[bazwillrun]

AOG

forget the dictionary def...a racist is whoever for the most part the lefties decides it is...

[Bazile]

''Since black rule ''

The people who have the real power in SA , remains the white minority

[bazwillrun]

How on earth can that be Bazile...whoda thought it !?
