#1 IIRC, there was a joke among the white South Africans about Rhodesia Zimbobwe:
Q. What is Zimbobwe?
A. South Africa in about 10 to 15 years.

Like a lot of jokes about the world lately, it seems more like prophecy than humor.

#2 What I fail to comprehend is why whites stay in South Africa when the endgame is so obvious it's right next door.

#3 In Rhodesia, tyranny flourishes because of an almost leftist-liberal willingness to surrender everything, instead of resisting, by those Mugabe wishes to steal from. Resistance can come in many forms, but unless you show some, any, backbone, you Darwinistically determine your fate. But the white (and colored) SAs are not so inbred, squishy and homogeneous. They can, and I suspect, do, resist in many and manifold ways. Be they the British, the Boers, the Jews, the Indians, and the Colored, they all can cooperate, as needs be, and resist in their own fashion, instead of just being raped. Certainly, their little cabal of corrupt leaders steal, but even in the multi-millions it is the petty theft of the small-minded. And by forcing the economy to educate, where the government has failed, it may force private enterprise to take what are essentially iron age peasants and force them to modernize. This will utterly crush their culture of backwardness and poverty, and again Darwin wins.
