Jacob Zuma's son has urged looters to 'do so responsibly' and called for his father to be freed after South Africa's lawlessness entered its sixth consecutive day amid fears of a 'humanitarian crisis' with food, fuel and Covid medicine shortages. The former president was locked up last Friday for failing to appear in court on corruption charges, prompting riots and looting across the country, with police forces totally absent or in some cases, officers participating.(Snip)But the raging unrest has lost any sense of its loose political origins, descending into wanton lawlessness, including gang shoot-outs in the streets, people queuing up with cars to loot warehouses and malls,

Everything was going to be rainbows and sunshine after the bLACK Marxists overthrew the hated WHITE people and seized their assets, but instead they fundamentally transformed a peaceful and prosperous nation into one of the most violent places on the planet.

I have some friends in RSA. One guy and his wife is a retired MD, and last I contacted him, they were staying. I have offered to help them come here if that is what they would like. His three adult children have emigrated to Australia in the last few years to escape this ongoing disaster that they saw coming. Very sad. RSA was once a jewel in Africa, like Rhodesia was. Some of the worlds leading doctors were there, they led the world in heart surgery and other things. Now Zimbabwe (old Rhodesia) is a continuous disaster, a violent, economically crippled mess, run by totally corrupt, and incompetent dictators for years. Last I looked a 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe bank note would buy about 70 US dollars. I think they have just given up on having a currency and use other country's money now. It looks like RSA is running down the same path and the folks need to really think hard about staying, as sad as it is. Another friend runs a hunting business, employs blacks and whites. I last checked his web page about 6 months ago, and it looked OK, but I wonder how long they can hang on. Both families have centuries old roots in the country. In case you think I am exaggerating......they are just curiosities now. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/252048078439-0-1/s-l1000.jpg

SA was already trying to be Cuba Around the Horn but then Covid hit. Covid has devastated fragile countries like RSA, Haiti , and many others our Kneepad media is trying to protect. The new world order will emerge based on the most stable and viable nations. Sadly, we are too far indebted and political unstable to be considered a contender for nations that emerge strong after the pandemic. Hades I bet RSA and Haiti can control their borders better than we can. Run away inflation and nobody working because of he goobernment dole is a sad recipe for success.

In South Africa they are calling for "Mostly Peaceful Protests (and looting, arson, and riots)". Are they following the USA's BLM ANTIFA / BLM Model of Peaceful protesting? South Africa will just be another poverty stricken African dictatorship with warlords and refugee camps soon. Formerly beautiful cities will becomes shells of skeletal burnt out buildings from the gang turf wars. This is a preview of US major cities under the ANTIFA /BLM Marxist model. Those evil white people who built up and made those cities prosperous will be persecuted and flee (if they can) and be blamed for all of the countries ills. After all, the country and cities were prosperous when white people were in charge. Once the Black government took over, the cities and nation went into decline and lawlessness. The current situation is the result of this. Peaceful Protests! South Africa better look out!

I have an Irish friend who has lived in several African countries over the last 30 years…the last twenty in Zimbabwe. He moved back to Ireland a year ago but told me that South Africa had become the most dangerous country on the continent. I don’t hold any hope for Africa although the Chinese are attempting to infiltrate and re-colonize some African countries for their own benefit. If the Africans thought the European colonists were bad, the Chinese will be even worse…brutal and they don’t accept race cards.

#15 - you would be hard pressed to name anything run by communist blacks from the size of a lemonade stand on up that isn't a complete disaster. RSA and Zimbabwe are just two of the most glaring examples of what happens when they take control, but the US is full of cities that are the same level of dumpster fire. #12 - you are absolutely correct. The Chinese don't play these games - they will move in and slaughter the ANC if they get in their way. They are there for Africa's riches, and they don't give a damn about civilizing the current inhabitants. They will block out the rest of the world from seeing what is happening on the ground, and annihilate anyone in their path.

The arrest of a hate-spewing homeless man Thursday for his bloody knife attack on a gay man did nothing to calm the still-terrified victim’s nerves. Victim Milton Lobos Salguero, 34, said he was both lucky to be alive and plagued by horrifying nightmares after the July 6 attack where a suspect with 90 prior arrests began spouting homophobic slurs before gashing him across the face.

Police on Monday released video of the cruel May 31 assault, which left the 83-year-old victim with multiple facial fractures. Cops said the victim was trying to debark from an MTA bus near Barnes Ave. and E. Gun Hill Road in Williamsbridge about 5:30 p.m., but the suspect was standing in his way. The elderly man said “Excuse me”—and the suspect flipped out, dumping his green drink on the victim’s head.

Because I think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad and sad.” Bush, whose administration launched the U.S. military invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, specifically cited the plight of Afghan women and girls whom he said could
