I bet he’d trade me ten slaves for a keg of rum just like his ancestors did, or mineral rights to the country for a couple nice Whores. If he hasn’t already traded these off in advance to the French.
I’d like to say there goes the neighborhood, but, South Africa was the only place left that Africans could point to and say “see we’re not total failures!” now If South Africa goes back to law of the jungle the whole dark continent will be in a modern day dark age. If I were black, the whole continent of Africa would be a big embarrassment. Another fifteen years and the place will be ready to be colonized again. I get Rhodesia!
Progress is not always progress. Perhaps the tribes are returning to the way of life before European incursion, and perhaps it’s a better system for a continent like Africa, which cannot sustain the population it has.
Be prepared, however, for scenes of unbelievable bloodletting which will make Darfur and southern Sudan, even Rwanda, look like a cakewalk.
I’d expect more to see tribal violence and an accomodation between the Zulu and the whites.
Incorrect - Uganda and Botswana are doing well. Uganda's campaign against AIDS is outstanding.
