Among the places on earth that are hospitable to people, Southern Africa is at the top but it has been sacrificed against White People. As of this very day many of the sewers no longer work. The amazing part of that is sewage systems are designed to use gravity. Sewage flows downhill yet somehow the current population of Soweto and Bulawayo broke it. Southern Africa has become an International disgrace and a worldwide joke as a wonderful and wonderous place has been unable to keep the water and sewer systems working in places where magnificant buildings have been turned over to completely incapable individuals. No surprise that things go broke and are unable to be repaired. So far as separation by race is concerned it seems Southern Africa is no different that North Philadelphia where individuals naturally want to be with people similiar to themselves. Enter: “The Power Of the Mob”. Some individuals decided they should live just like everyone else despite the fact that they were not like everybody else. Not in terms of humanity where each individual is desirable and valuable but in terms of Economic Capability which in conjunction with other values, viteues and attributes, capabilities and capacities determines basically how much money an individual has. Despite all the yammering about equality the Economic Capability in addition to several other critical factors determines the overall standard of living of an individual. That can be extended to groups. Unfortunately many individuals want what others have but are unable to get it or to achieve it on their own.
Well….
Intelligence is not handed out. It is not earned. It is not even visible but in so many ways it determines the level of living an individual has. Indeed, a cocktail of corruption and inefficiencies has seen economic growth taper off. In Southern Africa that has produced power system failures as well as water and sewer system failures. What about education? that requires a system of schools which must be economically supported but in places that lack water, toilets, sewers and money that’s impossible.  It can be deadly as the uneducated usually cannot cope within an advanced place like a town or a city.
How does a merchant exist when they are unable to read or write hence cannot even order material let alone mark it up and sell it at a profit? Expectations driven by false analysis and wrong conclusions can be and indeed have been and are leading to demonstrations and riots instead of education and jobs as the have not’s attempt to become have’s has led to even more decay of the services needed to operate in an advanced economy. A taxi strike in Capetown resulted in five deaths.
This is a tailspin without the possibility of recovery. Consider: Nelson Mandela was a giant of the 20th century who inspired and guided a nation out of racially segregated South Africa. Unfortunately his guidence didn’t include economics.  So the water stopped. The sewers stopped. the economy stopped.
Where to go from here?
Here’s where… Further down.
Unfortunate… but forecasts of the future must be based on the events of the past so the direction is clear. Could it have been different? No.. Of course not because once the past is past it cannot be changed. Only the future can change things so Southern Africa, being a place absolutely blessed by nature can change but that’s not the way to bet. Some, wrongly we feel, blame Apartheid. Others blame Education. The money bet is IQ.
