Meanwhile, in South Africa

Ok, time for the most racist comment of the day.. Two of the most natural resource abundant countries on the continent, Rhodesia and South Africa. One has long been dead and gone, and the other one seems to be headed that way.
Why can't they get their act together?

I've read a decent amount of stuff written by people living in SA or who have relatives there. The news, as usual has sensationalized some of the rioting and have missed a lot of what caused them. They write that the violence may have been political when it started, but it's more general now, with economic and gang roots.
Panic buying is the norm and many people are talking about leaving, but COVID restrictions and lack of places to go, are making that very difficult. Many agree the country is on the same path as Rhodesia.

Yeah, it started as a political thing but now it's all completely out-of-hand crimes of opportunity.

I seem to recall reports of white landowners literally being forced off of their land because of "reparations" or some other such thinking. People have lost farms, homes, etc.

I had a number of friends in Canada who'd left South Africa and Zimbabwe at about the same time that we left the UK. The stories they told were really sad, and it sure hasn't got any better.
