Very few African countries escaped the horror of civil war in the post-Colonialist era. In most cases the civil war resulted from a power struggle between corrupt quasi-politicians with more interest in their own pockets, than in that of the country. As a result, the country itself often bled to death. Rwanda, Mozambique, Angola, Uganda, Rhodesia and numerous others were examples of this phenomenon.
FW de Klerk and Nelson Mandela told us in 1994: South-Africa would be different. We learned from the mistakes of our neighbours. We will have a peaceful transition into a full “democracy”. And the world (including the majority of South Africans) desperately wanted to believe this.
There would be no democracy. After 22 years we have a political system with a grandiose constitution on the books, and only the rotten remains of the promises that were made, underneath. The “democracy” has turned into a “cleptocracy”…
…and a silent, deadly, destructive civil war against minorities, based on racist motives. In short, the white population of South Africa is fast becoming the vanquished in an effective guerrilla war which has not even once been condemned by the government. In fact, the ANC government, along with the opposition DA, entertains the notion of the rest of the world: “Let us ignore this and pretend that the multiculturalist experiment in South Africa is successful. Why, the very annihilation of an entire nation, the brutal torture of the elderly, the rape and murder of little children is not an unreasonable price to pay for our fantasy.”
Well, let us at least then have the common decency to admit and recognise the fact that South Africa is a country of blood and pain and turmoil. Of which March 2016 will go down in history as one of the bloodiest ever. We mourn the loss, the pain and the suffering of these victims and we assure their family and relatives of our heartfelt condolences and sympathy in their hour of bereavement. That is the least we can offer.
