An interesting history lesson and prognosis from the Afrikaan/Boer/British colonial version of events,  which they consider 'the truth'.. I would like to hear the other side's versions of events.

The absolute truth about both South Africa AND Australia is that a great many wrongs have been done on all sides, wrongs that can never be undone, and often cannot be forgiven.

Another sorry truth is that the African blackman has only ever considered to be worth the value of his labours, but that's not much different to a whiteman working in Australia.

This means that if the African is not able to work no-one is going to care if he lives or dies, but the old style Boer isn't dumb and will go as far as caring for the black if /when a labour shortage is a possible result of not caring for the black, but now the blackman rules the country the whiteman feels no obligation to worry about any part of the population beyond himself.

The blackman in charge is far more interested in padding out a Swiss bank account than caring after his own kind, particularly if the other black is not of his tribe.

No-one has to take my word for this because they only need to look at what happens in every other black African run country.

The day Mandela dies will see South Africa change yet again, and that change isn't going to be to the benefit of anyone beyond those who will be in power at the time.

Another Zimbabwe will then be in the making.
