Just a little detail regarding crime, which I believe is fueled by unemployment and poverty: Not a day goes by without a report of a brutal, and most of the time fatal, attack on a white farmer and/or his family and workers. Police officers, too, and motorists finding themselves stranded in a broken car, are being killed weekly by heartless criminals without qualms of conscience. Gansterism, vandalism, carjackings, robberies, raping (and brutal killing) of women, babies and children, are the order of the day.
Is South Africa on the brink of a civil war?
- Expropriation of property without compensation: In plain English, the ANC-government is considering the expropriation without compensation of land that was bought by whites since 1652. All blacks will have land, is one of the many promises the ANC has not yet kept. If they don't keep it before 2019, they may lose the election. Contemplating the results of this radical action makes me sick.
- Radical economic transformation: Although nobody seems to be able to explain the meaning of this war-cry, we understand that white-owned mines, companies and all businesses that belong to whites will have to comply even more to existing laws that force them to employ mainly blacks in accordance with SA's population: 80% Blacks, 9% Whites, 10% Coloureds, etc.
- White Monopoly Capital has to be eliminated before 2019. While Apartheid was considered the cause of all that was/is wrong in SA, White Monopoly Capital is nowadays the scapegoat. Banks, mines, and large companies that belong to whites have to close their doors or do the radical economic transformation thing.
And then one sees a statement like this:
And now for the purpose of this lamentation
