 10 Scary Facts Indicating South Africa Is Becoming The Next Venezuela

South Africa has squandered its opportunities and is on the path to becoming a failed state. Government profiteering, race tensions, and shortages are ruining the country.
 
February 22, 2019

It has been a quarter-century since South Africans of all colors and creeds lined up with each other to patiently wait their turn to vote for their first government that was not dependent on brutal racial engineering.

In 1994 the country was a coiled spring ready to unleash enormous latent economic and human potential. As South West Africa became Namibia and the legal edifices of apartheid were swept away, South Africa suddenly had the opportunities and goodwill that had been denied it for the better part of 30 years.

All that promise is gone. South Africa has squandered its opportunities and is on the path to becoming a failed state. These are the top ten reasons, in no particular order, why South Africa is becoming the next Venezuela.

I think it's worse:  In addition to diving into the socialist pit, SA is on its way to becoming Zimbabwe.  Right down to murdering white farmers intent on keeping their land.

Lest we forget:  SA spawned Winnie Mandela, with her "Soccer Club" and Goodyear Necklaces.

I don't know if they are right but...as of now, US Holocaust Museum doesn't even predict South Africa as presenting any genocide danger. This does not mean the USHM is correct. I posted this before and questioned it exactly about South Africa so don't bellyache to me, that I'm making a counter point.  Maybe they are being politically correct.

If I had the chance to ask whomever put this together I would and why SA is not on the list. Not even top 30, WTH?

Top 10:

Democratic Republic of Congo
Afghanistan
Egypt
South Sudan
Pakistan

Yemen
Angola
Turkey
Sudan
Somalia

I think they need to be questioned why they don't put the Plaasmoorde on the list.

Don't worry, South Africa isn't even in the top 30!

Not quite yet...the murders are of white people.   "World Opinion" says whites in SA are not worthy of note because of the Apartheid that ended years ago.  They have it coming to them.  "Getting Evenism" is always first in the mind of leftiests.

They were better off under Apartheid.
(and yes, I really believe that...)
