Once upon a time, Nelson Mandela put South Africa on the path toward racial reconciliation and a transition to a society based on black and white equality. Alas, race-hatred is winning that battle now, and what was once the most prosperous nation in Africa is set to follow the path of Zimbabwe toward utter ruin.
The former Rhodesia turned itself from the breadbasket of Africa, a major exporter of staple grains, into a country on the perpetual verge of mass starvation by expropriating and often murdering white farmers and giving land to cronies of President Mugabe, who were not capable of stewardship. The same thing happened to other elements of the economy as well, all based in getting even for racial grievances of the past.
South Africa's Parliament has just voted to seize white-owned farmland without compensation.

The only people who 'starved' in Zimbabwe were the 'British (Western) supporters'.
Anyone who was Pro-Mugabe, was looked after as best as he could.
Wasn't easy though, when Britain bullied Zimbabwe with every 'Sanction' possible.
Didn't see Britain go in an feed 'their supporters'?
Throw in the original reason that Britain really did 'steal' the lands from the Shona & Nbele peoples quite dishonestly and the majority of Zimbabweans were happy to just 'take' it all back off the British 'exploiters'.
So tell me, who really 'stuffed up' Zimbabwe?
I definitely say the 'British' !
And they also stuffed up South Africa!
The Boers were 'intergrating/intergrated' with the South African 'Khosian' tribes and hence why they became 'Farmers' - just like the Khosians.
Only when the British turned up and wanted 'Total Domination' for 'Political' reasons did things start to go awry.
Firstly, the British 'bought' Coloureds, then Blacks - to fight the Boers (Later they brought in Aust/NZ'ers).
So the Boers fought the British, then also 'their' Blacks - because the Boers had many 'Blacks' fighting on their side as well.
So it's obvious that Britain has bullcrapped, false propaganda and bullied its way in Africa with its 'Politics'.
Britain only wanted power in South Africa to be a Military Outpost in the 'South' - no real regard for the well being of others there.
Zimbabwe was just a pure land-grab for resources against the 'primatives'.
Mugabe may have not been the best answer for the people of Zimbabwe, but at least he stood up to throw back some 'Karma'.
