If you read the article, the author eventually gets around to dutifully blaming the “legacy of apartheid”. Yet, under apartheid, it was a world class city.

Go figure.

Other than Twitter X and SpaceX there’s a reason Elon doesn’t reside in SA anymore.

Yes, but libs will never make the connection. It will always be a mystery.

Well, actually that is not true. They will blame Systematic Racism and White Supremacy.

A preview of what is coming to the cities in the US governed by the same kind of people sharing the same intelligence, mores and background.

The under class has been put in control by the upper-class, comitting suicide

Didn’t South Africa overthrow those terrible whites that were ruling their country and assume control of it? Now they display anything but unity. This seems to be the same characteristics of many American blue cities today. They have a Black Mayor, a Black Chief of Police and a Soros elected DA and crime is out of control and the cities have become dumping ground those taking a dump.

If DEI had always existed in J-berg (as us former locals call it), there would NOT be a J-berg, but rather a typical African village with no permanent structures, no paved roads, and no other infrastructure.

So, at this point, it’s simply reverting back to its usual state, which is a typical African village. What makes it so different is everything ‘the white man’ built up is now making the reversion an ugly site to see.

Now, what does Johannesburg have in common with Jackson MS, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc.

There can’t be a common element, can there?
