Sometimes I meet people who still hold out hope for South Africa. They profess to believe that the Rainbow Nation will overcome its, er, transitional problems and will come to fulfil the vision of Saint Mandela. For such people I have a simple response: A picture of that country's Chief of Police. I show it to them and rest my case. For such a humanoid to occupy the country's highest policing position should be sufficient to dispel the illusions of even the greatest optimist.
And yet, in his own way he has impressive real-world insights typically lacking among Whites. Take for instance his assertion that there'd be no crime in South Africa were it not for Whites. Insane? Well listen to what he's quoted by ABC News as saying at a conference last year in Pretoria: Sitole told about five hundred police officers in attendance at a conference in Pretoria that if it wasn’t for white people, there would be no crime in South Africa. “They brought TVs, cars, jewellery, and other things our people will be tempted to steal, if it wasn’t for that, our people were never going to learn to steal, they did all of this to make us look bad.”
Now this report was quickly denied by SAPS (they would, wouldn't they?) and has disappeared from the web. And maybe it is false. But I'd put nothing past someone with a head like that.
Meanwhile the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party, has imploded. This was entirely predictable once it went native and appointed a bantu as its leader. Despite being 'handsome (sic), intelligent and articulate' - and with a White wife - Mmusi Maimane is nonetheless a black. And blacks will be blacks. They see - and I have countless direct first-hand experiences to prove this - a position of power as a means to enrich oneself, one's extended family and one's tribe. Despite mastering the appropriate platitudes they literally do not understand the concept of disinterested service to a nation. They just don't get it. Which is why Maimane, once appointed Leader, immediately went on a campaign of gibsmedat. In flagrant violation of traditional DA philosophy he instigated a major push for enhanced affirmative action (non-Whites must get 92% of all jobs) and Black Economic Empowerment, a form of legalised bribery in which White-owned businesses are forced to hand over money and made-up jobs to well-connected blacks. He also insisted on the DA 'reaching out' to the black community. In other words become a mini ANC. All with predictable results.
Those South African Whites who retain hope of turning the country around are looking for a unicorn, for that pot of gold at end of the rainbow. It will not happen because it cannot happen. And it cannot happen because nature will not be gainsaid. How they can delude themselves to such a degree is beyond my comprehension.
