#1 And what impressive results the ANC has achieved!
Way better than having a job, no fear of gangrape, but separate drinking fountains.

#4 No surprise it's taking more than a dozen years to fix the damage to SA society. Botha and his predecessors radicalized a couple of generations of that society, it's no surprise they haven't reacquired the habit of respecting government quickly. He made sure an awful lot of people didn't get to die at home peacefully in his time. If he passed through the pearly gates, he's one I'll be surprised to find when I get there.

Tell me please, how OLD is the African continent and it's native people again? The Cuban and Russian trained ANC proxies that represent the SA gov't will be "fixing" for until the second coming, just like Zimbob and all the rest of the communist kak in Africa.

Amazing how Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia came out from Iron Curtain control in the early 90s, and are doing better than their former master, while the ANC took over a relatively advanced African nation 17 years ago and is currently running it into the ground.

'Respecting government', indeed.
