I meant why would a young white person who can leave not leave?
No idea. Cyril was asked but had no idea either. He could only come up with 'everybody has a role to play'. Well I suppose somebody has to play the role of the frog. Mugabe did the exact same when telling whites they should have no fears. Welcomed them to stay - until they were no longer so welcome. I would imagine Mugabe remains a hero to the ANC for a reason.

If true they have it backwards, instead of dis-empowering white people you should empower black people.

as he urged young white South Africans to not leave the country

Why did he not urge young black South Africans to also stay? Does he think they are not capable of striving for a better life for themselves?

The answer is in the OP article.

Fair enough, but looks like the article has been removed?

"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

It works fine for me, I can't copy the part but he was asked if white people have a future in this country.

I wasn't gatvol, and didn't want to leave. I love South Africa and will never disparage it (other than the obvious). I wish I could have stayed, but left to protect the future of my kids (white males).

I would be ecstatic if my leaving makes SA a better place, a hard sacrifice leaving the rest of my family behind, but at least it was worth it if it makes their lives better. But then again, I was not a gatvol type :-(
You in the USA right? Which state if I may ask? I've applied for a Green Card (hearing outcome on 1 May), fingers crossed.
