S. Africa’s Crime-Driven Emigration
20th December 2008
Yes, South Africa boasts perpetual sunshine, jaw-dropping scenery and vigorously free media and civic debate. But since the dawn of democracy in 1994, many thousands have found reasons to emigrate, and 2008 delivered several more — political uncertainty, power shortages, gruesome attacks on foreigners.
The most oft-cited reason for leaving, though, remains crime. Ghastly, violent crime.
Well, that’s what happens when you deliver the country into the hands of radical fringe groups, which the ANC and it’s wannabes are. For all of the hagiography of Nelson Mandela, don’t forget that he was imprisoned for being a Marxist terrorist — exactly like Robert Mugabe — and the only reason he isn’t a Marxist terrorist today is that he’s too damned old.
