The reason South Africa is failing rests solely with the stupidity and corruption of the people running it.

Let's see, Thabo Mbeki thought that HIV and AIDs wee just vitamin deficiencies or something. I can't remember exactly. So he refused to bring in medication.

Jacob Zuma thought raping a 13 year old girl with AIDs wasn't important. When in court, he was asked if he wore contraception, he said no - that he washed himself afterwards.

That said, white South Africans hold most of the wealth, and they are extremely angry because the country is so badly run.

There is a group of Afrikaaners who created a town called Orania where only white people can live, but that's as far as it goes.

South Africans will take any route out of South Africa that they can find. Those with a high level of education find work visas in other countries. Those with money use businesses visas. The rest are stuck.

No, not going to compare Israel/Palestine with apartheid. I don't think the comparison is apt.
