What's really happening in South Africa 💀

[media=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7OChDrlKLGg]

The country entered an economic crisis due to extreme mismanagement and corruption. As a result, the government had to blame someone - and of course, the easiest target to blame is the "rich".

They started blaming the rich, but it turns out that most of the "rich" are from outside the country or are second/third-generation immigrants and consequently white. They began blaming the rich whites and started nationalizing and stealing everything from these people solely because of their different skin color.

Naturally, the whites stopped investing in the country and began fleeing en masse. As a result, those who took over and stole the businesses of the "rich" had no idea how to run a business, and the crisis worsened even further.

Some facts: since 2008, South Africa's debt went from 24% to 75%, while the economy grew at an average of 1.4%, below the population growth rate - meaning GDP per capita has fallen. Currently, South Africa spends one-third of its tax revenue just to service its debt and has a deficit of 5%.

I know this and I know a few people there. I have also heard that a lot of the black South Africans have wished the white government would come back because under the boers even though things weren't wonderful at least things were reliable roads were repaired paychecks and mail came on time and a bunch of other different things. I've heard it's really falling apart

@KingofBones1 If we could just have good leadership on the continent we could be the strongest in the world. There have been some who have tried but inevitably cronyism, corruption, authoritarianism and tribalism are almost always more important than the people.

@TangledUpInBlue that's the sad truth of politicians even here in America this is the new trend sadly. All it takes for evil to Triumph is for good men to do nothing or to be able to do nothing

I think in this case the term genocide needs to go away because of the numbers don't express that. But it's plain farmers of multiple races and whites are being killed and discrimination against. They can't talk about whites being killed. Gee that sounds familiar.
History repeating itself..

Any country which allows its wealth to become concentrated in the hands of a small private elite at the expense of the commonwealth is doomed to failure when the winds of the world economic change, as they did after 2008.

Look back in history, every country that went from colonial rule ( white ) to local rule ( native ) went into chaos and recession.
This documentary is all over the place.

@TangledUpInBlue If those numbers are correct, then you win 😌
@sstronaut It’s so embarrassing, South Africa wins at something, it’s also important to note how huge the US population is compared to SA.
