My theory is the since the Soviet Union infiltrated all of the anti-colonialist independence movements, in a cynical ploy to advance their own hegemony, it sped up the timeline in a way that de-colonialization was rushed, and basically countries became independent without having the infrastructure in place to truly be independent.

“Collapse is coming to South Africa.”

Very possible. And when it happens, we all know who’ll be there to “bail” them out - China.

They’ll sweep in, throw a lot of low interest “loans” around and in no time the SA Govt will be a debtor to the Chinese. The Chinese will then say “Gosh, you have all these wonderful natural resources (gold, uranium, etc). Perhaps you can “pay off” your debt by giving us unlimited access to develop these resources. Oh and by the way, unlimited access also means exclusive access and reduced availability of these resources to other countries - you know like the US”

YUP; a king in an uncured, rotting hide, with bones in his nose and feathers in his cow dung hairdo is just who I want running the country!

What could possibly go wrong?

these roads were a symbolic of the honkies and therefore had to go.

This electricity magic is symbolic of those tricky honkies and therefore, it has to go. We don't need it.

Farm attack: Woman guns down armed robbers in South Africa

A 48-year-old woman from Jeffreys Bay, Eastern Cape managed to fend off two armed robbers at her property in Kabeljous. The farm attack took place at 20:30 on Friday night, but the victim refused to become another rural crime statistic, and ferociously fought back – despite her severe injuries.

Diversity means getting rid of white people. Shithole country follows. Prove me wrong.

The way American libtards use the word "diversity" doesn't exclude ALL whites; just normal ones.

And the RSA has ALWAYS been a nation with a "diverse" population! If you even knew just an infantessible amount of the history of that nation, you would KNOW that; however, you don't and neither do you know the meaning of "diversity" at all.

First it was the Cubans, but now it is the Chinese and they've been there for longer than you know.

The Chinese will not give out loans....they'll just take over.

The USSR sent people to get the blacks to become STINKING COMMIES, long, long, long, loooooooooooooooooooooong ago!

Once the ANC grew, the blacks killed off the Commie white leaders and that was long before "saint" Nelson was let out of prison. An Mandela WAS a card carrying STINKING COMMIE TERRORIST; not to mention the fact that he came from a rather wealthy, well educated familhy!

My wife watches the TV show “90 Day Fiance’”

Mine does too. I try to avoid it but I did see the episode when the US woman decides to go back to the US. I think it was her visit to the local public hospital that finally convinced her that South Africa was a bad place to be.
