Its decline wasn’t inevitable. It stands as a warning to all Western nations about the speed with which bad (read: leftist) management will destroy a country.
I received an email from a South African friend today, infuriated at his country’s destruction at the hands of his own government’s ideology and incompetence. This was not hyperbole. In fact, the power grid is on the verge of complete collapse, which will leave people without food or water, and, when combined with South Africa’s decay in all other areas, may lead to civil unrest on a scale that could trigger a full civil war.
As a predicate to this post, it’s important to note that, since 1994, when the all-white government finally ended, all South Africa’s presidents have come from the African National Congress, a communist front group.

I knew an MD from South Africa many years ago. He came here to pursue another MD degree in Cardiovascular surgery at the University of New Mexico medical school. He went back home to Johannesburg after graduating in 1992. I lost touch with him several years ago. Whenever I think about South Africa, I wonder if he’s still alive.
