Robert Mugabe: ‘Why Do Whites Still Have Power In Your Country'

[Newsweek] Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe attacked South Africa over the weekend for affording white people too much power and pointed the finger of blame at Nelson Mandela, the country’s first black president.

Mugabe, 93, spoke Saturday at the funeral of two former members of Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF coalition in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital.

South Africa abandoned apartheid, a system of enforced racial segregation and white-minority rule, in 1994, when Mandela, then president of the African National Congress (ANC), was elected as president for South Africa’s first multiethnic government. But racial inequality remains a hot-button issue in South Africa.

"I asked one of the ANC ministers, ’How come whites have been left with so much power [in South Africa]?’" Mugabe said Saturday, South African news site eNCA reported. "And he said it was because of your friend Mandela. He is the one who made mistakes."

Zim surely isn't the only example. The continent is chucked full of such colossal failures. Of course most are blamed on 18th through 20th century colonialism, not 40,000 years of genetically tuned tribal history.

#5 Hypothesis: Agricultural tribes will spread along banks of rivers. Step 2: European Governments split territories along rivers (convenient geography feature marked on maps) separating tribes and arbitrarily mixing them with other tribes similarly split. Step 3: Chaos ensues.
Repeat this throughout Africa...
