#1 South Africa seems to be determined to march right along the path to self destruction like Zimbabwe did.

#2 Unlike Bad Bob's Zimbi-land, South Africa has certain strategic natural resources which could be used to wreak havoc on the world economic system in the wrong hands. Being that they are at the top of the list in Gold, Platinum and Diamonds, we could have real problems if the high So African officials continue to drink the same too pure water that Happy Hugo in Venezuela is....

#3 Zimbabwe is reeling from its worst economic and political crisis since independence from Britain in 1980, triggered ~~nearly entirely~~ in part by government seizures of white-owned farms.

The MSM, refusing to publish negative reports on South Africa, has covered up the major movement by black South Africans to drive white farmers from their land through theft, intimidation, rape and murder. When I last looked, the stats were one white South African farmer murdered every three days.

The difference between South Africa and Zimbabwe is that the South African government doesn't officially sanction the murderous attempt to take over the land. They just turn a blind eye to it.
There's an official movement as well to restore land historically taken from blacks by (partly) compensating the present white owners. But the government pretends that's all that is happening.
