#2 "This came after Muslim groups and trade unions in South Africa called for the government to cut ties with the Jewish state and impose a trade boycott."

Just exactly what does South Africa have to trade? They're no longer exporting anything, just like Zimbob's country.

#3 South Africa has one of the world's best arms industries, developed during the apartheid period. Their 155mm howitzers (both towed and self-propelled) are used as a benchmark for judging other artillery. They developed a whole series of infantry weapons and light armoured vehicles that have been combat tested and even adopted by the US : the Rhino wheeled APC and the 6-shot 40mm gernade launcher. Also, South Africa is one of the world's biggest diamond exporters and Israel is a diamond cutting center. During the "Pariah" decades of the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s, the two countries developed a wide-ranging trade relationship that included Taiwan as well.

#5 Now, SA is run by commies with a racial vengeance against the West. Remember the 2001 durban reunion "against racism"?
