#2 SA is a toilet and the ANC has been in the drivers seat during the entire tailspin.

#3 "We should emulate the example of... Nelson Mandela and reach deeply across divides to ensure that we search for the very best in one another."

Huh? Mandela looked out for number one - he decided he wanted the whole enchilada, and became the leader of a violent revolt that saw schools targeted with bombs.

#4 Hey, I'm doing fine without 'em!

#7 If I was white in South Africa and I saw what happened in Zimbabwae and the somewhat accepting response to those actions in South Africa it wouldn't be long before I was a white in Australia instead.

#8 21.5% of the population has HIV/AIDS.
43 year life expectancy.
24% unemployment rate.
50% of the population in poverty.
10% white (2001).
Languages: Afrikaans 13.3%, English 8.2%.
