I was there in 2008 when they cancelled the Scorpion police squad. They were set up to investigate corruption but got too close to those in power so were disbanded.
They had an 80% conviction rate, the ordinary cops had a 2% conviction rate.
1000% spot on....The Scorpions were ex- Police and military(White)....And started coming too close to ALL of them....if they weren't disbanded we would be in a completely different situation right now....
I want you to know I am not anti Black but if the white minority had not built South Africa into the nation it is--or was-- the people there would still be living in mud huts and eating each other. Geez, when is common sense going to take back control?
Never a truer word spoken...However, if you try to mention that anywhere you are shot down because as far as the Libs around the world and our blacks are concerned we shouldn't have been here in the first place....We "STOLE" the land from them....Go figure
Just to be clear I'm also not anti-black but unfortunately, the blacks here are Nothing like the blacks in America or Europe or even Asia....They have a completely different mindset...They are still very much tribalistic and it shows...We are 2 Very different cultures...VERY different...
Praying for you and all those in SA. May God protect you and your people during this time of unbelievable hatred going on down there. It is nowhere in the news here.
I have only visited Jo'burg and Pretoria and it seems that the white man was there before the black man, especially in Jo'burg.
There was nothing there when the white men arrived, just rock and scrub, an empty land devoid of people.
I was told that the animals there in those days, especially the migrating animals were so numerous that a herd of Impala or Springbok took a week to pass a fixed spot.
I visited Johannesburg on several short occasions for work during the 1980s, when the "apartheid" racial segregation was still a thing. A nice country but the ruling whites had ruined it. It was not enough that they were on top and very rich they had to act like tyrants and make sure everyone knew who was boss and get their asses kissed.
I expected that the black people (I am white) would give me hell but they were actually quite nice people. Unless maybe just putting on a nice face so I would tip them but I don't think so. My white ex-pat colleagues on the other hand, some of them were OK, but most of them beer-swilling low-IQ unfortunates.
From what I see now the black people (tribalistic and different mindset as purkiss80 says) have swung the other way and now they want to smash everything to show their power. It's wrong but if you whip a dog it's gonna bite you.
A real shame because I liked the place (even though I stayed in Hillbrow which is like Baltimore.)
Hey hey hey...they said Africa wasn’t a shithole...did they lie??
