South Africa has had a very charged political season lately. Who would you support given all the issues surrounding corruption, land reform etc?

Looks like they're trying to do the same thing as Mugabe did in Zimbabwe. Horrible. :cry:

Freedom Front Plus. Though I think SA is a hopeless case. We should just offer all the Boers asylum.

I think we can still hope for multi-ethnic democracy and reconciliation. The DA is a really good party on this angle.

The leader of DA (who was ANC until 2010) has been making weird tweets about how angry he is when he sees whites shopping and blacks working, and apparently scolded the former DA leader for suggesting that colonialism bought some good with it as well. I get the feeling that DA is Hillary Clinton or something, ANC like BLM and EFF like Idk.. Black panthers or something? Yes - they did vote against racist confiscation of land, and that's great ofc, but they seem to heading in the ANC's direction.

So I think I'd vote for the FFP, which seems to be basically an anti-racist, libertarian party that believes in self-determination. The Afrikaaner far-right have another party called the Front Nasionaal. The end might be a DA government dependent on parliamentary support from FFP or something. Though... to be honest... I'm not sure the tide can be turned inside the framework of the current system. Our country (under the horrible Olof Palme) beefed up the ANC with our tax money (along with ZANU, Viet Cong, PLO and every group whose victims were mostly poor non-white people you can imagine) so in this case, I actually think we have some responsibility of helping the people our parents screwed.

Of course, the root of the problem is that the British f:ed the place up, if the Boers had been allowed to stay around Cape they could have had their own little state there. That said, if you split away North and West Cape minus/plus some other areas, you'd get a pretty viable Afrikaans-speaking state, although not exactly a "white" one.
