Cape Town, South Africa - When Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the an internationally acclaimed explorer, told South Africa's business community that he has "zero tolerance for failure" and that "under performers should be sacked immediately," he might well have been addressing the South African government and social policy makers as well. Fines sympathized with South African businessmen, saddled with political correctness and affirmative action which hurt the economy. "It is difficult because industrial relations are designed to stop you form sacking people who should be sacked."
Many South Africans are wondering where the new ANC government is leading the nation. Low income white communities have sprung up around the nation as political correctness and affirmative action have literally displaced more than one million white workers.
Schools are in a shambles and the ANC is suing Western banks for "Apartheid reparations." The ANC has even designed its new budget to include reparations money even though none has been awarded yet. Rape and crime, the murder of whites and AIDs continue to spiral out of control.
Recently, at the funeral of a top ANC leader, ANC supporters chanted "Kill the Boer" in public.
"South African President Thabo Mbeki was in attendance and did nothing to stop the chanting," said Catherine Harrington, a white ANC activist who attended the funeral.
Over 1,200 of South Africa's 40,000 white farmers have been killed since 1994. Over 6,000 have been attacked, making the Boer/Afrikaner the highest at risk murder group on Earth.
Added Harrington, "Mbeki has called the murder of white farmers, 'The final stage of the revolution.' That makes even me uncomfortable. The white farmers feed the entire population, which is overwhelmingly black."
Other South Africans are concerned about the country's tilt towards pornography, abortion, homosexual privilege and sex education in schools.
Says Nicolette Swede, a Cape Town advertising executive "It's so disgusting what is going on in South Africa now. Parliament has decided that 11 year old school kids must now have classes on oral sex and to make things worse, they detailed the whole event in a document read to parliament, that the teachers must follow. A female parliamentary member called the local radio station and said even the grown men in parliament couldn't control themselves when they heard this thing read. So how are kids meant to? Their rationale of course is that this is to prevent AIDS."
"Then this morning the same radio hosts were saying it's so cool to go to strip clubs, lap dancing venues and these poor wives are calling in to say how upset it makes them. The male DJ said he went and it was cool. The other morning another DJ said porn in the office was perfectly acceptable. And a silly woman reporter said it would be fine as long as her male colleagues didn't interact with her about it. What a brainwashing everyone is getting about sex these days.
I'd love to tell them your aura is affected by every single person that you sleep with. We are spiritually affected by the act, for bad or good. I wonder if that would frighten some? It is surely far worse to think that your spiritual essence can be contaminated by the wrong partner. It's so scary what is happening to the West. When is the backlash going to happen? It has to... this is becoming a circus. How far do we have to go before things turn around?"
South Africa's once world-class military industrial complex has come under siege from criminals. The Rooivalk attack helicopter suffered a security breech when thieves tunneled under the fence at Denel Aviation Military aircraft division's Kempton Park offices and stole computer disks relating to the Rooivalk's top secret components.
In the field of education, the ANC has been embarrassed recently when it was reported that gigantic sums of money allocated to the countries rural, poor black young masses was unspent during the past nine months.
For example, at the Thuba Makote Rural School Building project, about of 48 million Rand budgeted to the district's 27 schools (the Rand is 10 to US$ 1) only 1.5 million Rand was actually spent. This money was a "conditional grant" and if the money are not used by a certain date in time there is no guarantee they will be reallocated in the future.
In fact, less than half of South Africa's conditional grants were actually used on real projects in the year 2001. Only 160 million Rand out of 400 million Rand allocated. The worst hit school children in terms of under spending were South Africa's poorest blacks - supposedly the bedrock of the ANC's Marxist revolution.
Says Martina Velserboer, a South African school teacher in Zululand, "Last year money appropriated to life skills teaching for those infected with HIV/Aids was under spent by 70 percent. We will have over 5 million HIV/Aids orphans in South Africa within a decade. Early childhood development money were under spent by 80 percent. Less than half of the money allocated for improving financial management in education by the Treasury were used. It's positively shocking. Oh no!"
Out of South Africa's 15 million illiterate adults, only 5 percent were given literacy training under ABET - the ANC's noble Adult Basic Education Program."
Only a quarter of the money allocated to building school infrastructure in South Africa's poorest school districts were used in 2001. About one quarter of South Africa's schools have no access to running water. Half have no electricity and shockingly, 80 percent do not even have a single book in their library.
In the Eastern Cape region, 60,000 students recently staged a boycott because they have no stationary to write on. The students apparently cannot afford to buy a simple writing pad on their own. Stationary that had been allocated in the budget was not delivered to the schools, say authorities.
Many South Africans wonder how the ANC could have failed South Africa's youth so badly?
During the Apartheid era, ANC leader Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie encouraged the black youth to burn down their schools and boycott the Afrikaans language. The legacy has been a generation of rapists and murderers who are totally unemployable. Most of the white South Africans with professional skills have fled the anarchy of the nation and settled in Anglophile nations like Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Things are so bad that Russian right wing Duma leader Vladimir Zhirynovsky has offered the Boers a homeland in Russia.
Hopes were high when the ANC took power in the Spring of 1994. Pope John Paul II, who endorsed sanctions against the pro-West, anti-communist government of white South Africa when they were facing strong opposition in the U.S. Congress in the mid-1980's, finally arrived in South Africa in September of 1995. At that time, the Pope fawned all over Mandela, who had just enshrined abortion and gay rights into South Africa's new Constitution. In 1989 the Pope issued a paper that stated "even harboring racist thoughts" was a sin.
That demoralized South Africa's Catholic population. Says Kristy Buckner, a lay Catholic activist in Cape Town, "We were all shocked. The Pope suffered under communism in Eastern Europe. How could he betray South Africans to Marxist-Leninism? I wonder what the Pope thinks about 'Kill the Boer!,' all of the farmer murders, rape and abortion. This nation is totally out of control. When religious 'leaders' like Bishop Tutu talk about peace and hope it makes me sick. There is no peace in South Africa. There is only genocide against the white population."
The ANC has also been plagued by the public revelation of "Operation Quiet Storm" in which the Prisons and Police Civil Rights Union or "POPCRU" worked to "overthrow the old guard management of white reactionaries and their stooges" to make positions available for black managers in prisons in Zululand. South Africa and the U.S. have the world's highest per capita prison populations.
All of this has taken a toll on the ANC's reputation. Nelson Mandela has called the new ANC government, "even more corrupt than the Apartheid regime." Big changes have come to South Africa and not in small doses. Personal changes have come to South Africa's top leaders as well. Marika De Klerk, the wife of former President F.W. De Klerk was murdered in her home last year. Top ANC leaders like Oliver Tambo also passed away.
In 1998, Nelson Mandela remarried, taking Graca Machel, the widow of the late Mozambican President Samora Machel. "Samora Machel," South African missionary Peter Hammond told this writer, "Was a Satanist who openly defied God to strike him dead."
Machel died in a plane crash near the South African border and plans for the Marxists in Mozambique to invade neighboring and peaceful Malawi were uncovered in that crash.
Mandela was married in 1940 to Evelyn Mase, and the two divorced in 1953 They had four children, two of whom passed away. Nelson married Winnie in 1958 and the couple went through a bitter divorce that ended in 1996. In 1941, Nelson Mandela had to flee his village of Qunu to avoid an arranged marriage.
Those courageous folks in South Africa kicked the bad mean old White Power Structure right the heck outta there!
And guess what else!
Now they've got a crisis on their hands!
No justice in the world.

What? Is there a biblical reference for this that another better-educated FReeper can FReepmail me?
Sorry for the distraction, back to the thread.
