  1. Shopping Mals and stores are closing down in the United States because of the looting , its not because of hunger in California. .just thieving what they can . . chaotic people

  2. Also, what did that guy mean "the worst violence since Apartheid"?

    The homicide rate peaked at 30 per 100k people under Apartheid. It peaked at almost 80 per 100k people after Apartheid ended. And the homicide rate has been higher since, year on year, since Apartheid ended, than it was under Apartheid. SA has some of the highest homicide and violent crime rates in the world. And it isn't white people doing the killing, just as it wasn't under Apartheid.

    4-5% of ALL deaths in SA are by murder. Think of that. You have a 1 in 20 chance of being killed.

  3. Hahahahaha. That guy blaming Apartheid, which ended 30 years ago. Like blacks in the US blaming slavery. Or blacks in the UK blaming colonialism. Same old, same old. Always the victims, always the white man's fault, never accountable.

  4. i feel for all the people who cannot leave and are forced to ride the decent into chaos. Everyone deserves better than this. The ANC is worse than corrupt. They are corrupt and Incompetent. That's possibly the worst combination ever. They cannot even provide simple services, much less security and stability. Without security and stability, there will be zero foreign investment. Goodbye South Africa.

  5. I was thinking to travel to south Africa but an expat almost screamed Not to go there last year. I was a big Mandela's history fan but It seems that his work was already destroyed less than 50 years after him leaving te contry to locals

  6. Blaming Apartheid 30 years later just shows the shortcomings of the current black population. Always looking for handouts, stealing and looting because it’s the white man’s fault. Look at the state of South Africa now and tell me it’s better than during Apartheid.

  7. Didn't apartheid end like 30 years ago? Somehow im not making the connection… people mad at the president and police for locking up a former president on corruption charges and blaming apartheid. Huh

  8. South Africa had transformed from 1st World to 3rd World the opposite of Singapore. Apartheid ended over 3 decades ago yet South Africa cannot progress.
