imagine getting rid of the system that worked for "democracy"
"Inevitable". White supremacist code. Um, sorry. Asian code. Ku Klux Klan is their own legacy, as the promoun is not Anglo language root based.
yes I went there last year, so beautiful but so much crime and poverty. The ANC have absolutely ruined South Africa. now I look at the way they have accused Israel in the IWC. Instead of preparing their troubled courtly they have entertained hamas and other filth. What a terrible road they have set themselves on. The people of South Africa are wonderful and deserve better, The ANC have to be voted out.
How do people know how to vote and recognize corruption in political candidates, if they only just got enfranchised?
Name one African country run by blacks that is doing well, is organized, and well controlled.
In African cultures, power and the right to suppress others is paramount in the tenets of many tribes, especially Zulu. A second element is the habit to go for instant or immediate and direct gratification of personal needs. This is a result of the original richness of the continent. But an insanely rapidly increasing overpopulation made this tenet untenable. Still, it is followed all the time.
no surprise there, europeans have hundreds of years of experience in governance and still fail to manage countries well , so how should africans do any better with 0 experience, ive been to the region of mandelas home, theres a very basic life there, those people couldnt know much about managing a country and an economy and think ahead decads just as brussels also struggles with that
Well, well, well. They got fully built country by white people and still failed.
South Africa is a joke of a country.
This why Black people voted a Corrupt ANC Government into power, to to Destroyed South Africa.
This continent sef don tire me…Nigeria is even worse😢 eh God
Haiti in a few decades
Black excellence got them there. Thinking they know best
African Americans – They leave to SA and say how glorious it is, then they push propaganda that the USD will fall, BRICS will rule the world, yada yada. Meanwhile their investments are dropping like rocks and they realise they made a huge mistake leaving America and cant afford to return back. As their desperation grows, they push and push the hatred toward the West while saying how glorious, how great BRICS (that'll rule the world lol) is.
SA had a chance and it missed the boat. Africans deserve better than this deep corruption and for foreigners to act like everything is fine when its not.
Just remember, WHITE MAN BAD !!!!
Greed and corruption by “leaders”
Wake up America. Stop the white hate. Be more grateful and less hateful ❤
The music got on my nerves
The ANC ruined the country and continues to disappoint with their sheer ignorance. All the technical know-how will,evaporate and eventually the only electricity will in the capitol. Infrastructure is being slowly destroyed by miners and theives. Here they are with full insight of Zimbabwes' plight and ruin , and still letting the country falling into disrepair. You can say the Black South Africans gained a country but also ruined the very jewel they were handed.
Gupta family State Capture. SA media won't investigate them because they use Asians to keep their hands clean from criminal activity for a return to Apattheid.
I lived in Cape Town in the early *0's when I was a kid. South Africa has turned like every other country in Africa….Corrupt and rotten to the core.
Today they are worse off because of corruption….corruption that makes the Mafia look like a church choir.
People, black or white 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If one were to transfer all Nigerians to Norway and all Norwegians to Nigeria, within a decade Nigeria would become a moder nation, while Norway would turn into a Third World favela. It's not the land or the climate. It's the mentality of the people.
I’m 47. I lived through apartheid. South Africa is a better place now. Yes, It’s currently mismanaged-why people want a change of government.
However, black people do have the opportunity now after apartheid to enjoy the great beaches, restaurants, shopping centers and education which was only for the whites, during apartheid.
Eskom can be fixed easily. Apartheid was the longest and hardest to fix!
Coming to an American community near you 😢
It’s worse now than while apartheid was still going…. Just shows how terrible natives Africans are at handling politics not a single country on this continent makes sense
I'm Asian and even I knew this was going to happen
Sadly you have a criminal organization called the ANC masquerading as a Government
SA was the first country to be mobbed by the leftists for their segregation policies. Nowadays it's Israel.
For a moment we had them they were almost gaza. Dang we let them get away.
Only the whites can save the world.
Nelson and Winnie were child murderer's in the 1940's, both terrorists.
Look at what is running the place…there is the problem.
The worst thing about South Aftica discourse is that both detractors and defenders inevitably turn to talk about racism.
Government ineptitude, corruption and nepotism are not damn racial traits. It can and does happen anywhere with certain conditions. You'll be hard-pressed to find a country or part of it in any part of the world that hasn't faced some kind of massive corruption issue in its history.
ANC has been effectively in sole power for 30 years now. It's absolutely their fault, it's not like they were in constant state of crisis and war and never had a break to plan and prepare.
I sincerely wish that patriotic and dedicated people can form an active political force that can take charge and while they would still have to face harships on the way, face them with a grit towards improvement, not what seems to have been happening. I like happy people, and want more of them.
What would anyone expect from a country founded on, “white people are the reason we can’t get our shit together so give us their shit”
stupid people in charge….what could go wrong
Today it's easy to identify a failing state by how it embraces terrorists such as Hamas or ISIS. Some examples, Lebanon, Syria, Venezuella and yes you guessed it, South africa.
The Hutus must focus more on wildlife safaris in which they are good at than in manufacturing and office jobs. If they opt for industry, they should get consultants from American African tribes like the Bloods and the Creeps who are experts in running a country.
Apartheid is de enigste manier.
