I thought these black leaders were different than previous white leaders.

South Africa = Zimbabwe 10 years ago.
Zimbabwe = South Africa 10 years from now (or sooner).

I remember when South Africa and Rhodesia were thriving and civilized.
What in the world could have happened?

Tutu better be careful or he may end up the guest of honor at a necklacing party.

White people better be thinking about where they are going...especially white farmers...their life liberty and property are in extreme jepordy IMHO. The world watched a great prosperous nation, Rhodesia, brought down by corruption and greed, and the same thing is happening as we speak in S. Africa.

It's too bad, but there is a reason that Africa is called the "dark continent".

Hey, seems some people are not getting enough of the pie, so the whining starts.

Tutu is not the only one complaining, the Council of SA Trade Unions are also a bit angry with the Mbeki government. The have traditionally been great supporters of the ANC, but it's not entirely impossible they go it alone as a political party. That will split the ANC vote down the middle, and create more of a voice for opposition parties.

"The public slanging-match between the two leaders began last week when Mr Tutu accused the president of deepening the country’s poverty and stifling debate among his party.

Man, what a hypocrit Tutu is. He bears a great deal of resposibility for the state the once great nation of South Africa is in today. I think he might even be more responsible than the ANC, Mandela and Mbeki. It was Tutu's antics here in America that convinced many Americans that South Africa was an evil, despicable place that didn't deserve Amercian trade and commerce. It was he who was the loudest at defaming white South Africans. Well Tutu, you made your bed with the ANC -- now sleep with them!

"Mr Tutu is becoming as formidable a thorn in the side of Mr Mbeki’s African National Congress government as he was of former white governments."

Tutu is a good example of how a leftwing crackpot, no matter what his benign facade, is really just a nasty a-hole under the skin.

He has criticised the notoriously thin-skinned Mr Mbeki for ......... his cosy relationship with Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe

Good on yer Desmond Tutu
