There is almost no white family in South Africa whose members have not fallen victim to the post-1994 reign of terror

Out of the approximately 40,000 white farmers at the time of the end of Boer rule, more than 3,000 (almost 10%) have been murdered. The murder rate for white South African farmers is 313 per 100,000, making farming the most dangerous occupation in one of the most dangerous countries in the world. By comparison, the murder rate for residents of Detroit is 34 per 100,000, and it’s also rising. The characteristic modus operandi of the black killers is to rape wives, regardless of age, in front of their husbands and then bludgeon, stab, hack, or beat both to death. The conviction rate in ANC-ruled South Africa is 8%, as opposed to roughly 75% in the United States. Under the Afrikaners, South Africa was stable, prosperous, and safe. Under apartheid, the economy achieved a continuous growth rate and attracted thousands of black immigrants from other African countries. The country's black population rose from 8.6 million in 1946 to 28.3 million in 1991. During the much maligned Afrikaner regime, the life expectancy for South African blacks skyrocketed from thirty-eight to sixty-one years. (Under black rule, it has plunged again by a whole nine years). Just twelve years after the start of Afrikaner rule in 1948, the rate of literacy among the Xhosa (the majority tribe in South Africa) was already higher than that of any other African blacks and even surpassed that of India. The black school population grew by a whopping 250% during the first decades of apartheid. Furthermore, the Boer government engaged in a campaign of income redistribution from whites to blacks. From the 1970s to the 1990s, the black share of personal income doubled. By the end of Boer rule, South African blacks received more in government revenue than they paid in taxes. Present day outrages like the mass rape of infants and ritual killing, which are based on tribal beliefs, were simply not allowed to happen in Afrikaner-ruled South Africa. The majority Xhosa tribe (which includes both Mandela and his successor, Thabo Mbeki) are themselves relative newcomers to South Africa. The Xhosa came from the lands to the north and engaged in a campaign of genocide and displacement against the San (known in the West as Bushmen) and the Hottentot people. In Botswana, a country adjacent to South Africa, the Bantu majority has banned the Bushmen from claiming their ancestral lands. Post-apartheid South Africa is a warning for Americans. Even a highly successful, economically vibrant country like pre-Mandela South Africa can be dismantled in a matter of years and turned into a chaotic, blood-drenched wasteland.
