The ANC’s Baleka Mbete said the ANC cannot be blamed for the problems of South African society. This includes crime, which Mbete argues was brought to the country from Europe by the colonialists.

Well worth a listen.

Wow. When Piet Retief first rocked up in Natal Dingaan made an offer to him that if he could retrieve his stolen cattle taken by another rival chief he would give Retief land. Retief managed to retrieve the stolen livestock and Dingaan happily murdered him for his trouble. So my question is at what point did stock theft arrive from Europe? What about Murder, as the Mfekane was in full swing when white people arrived with no white involvement. Genocide and theft seemed to be all we found when we arrived, but whatever.

gonna be as PC as I can here. But no matter what is said and what is shown. The biggest defense that we have against people like this is that they are what they are and cannot hide it. If you have ingrained criminality built into you, people will pick it up no matter what you say or what you do. Our best defense is them themselves.

Looking at the mind and brains of this woman, it is clear that the ANC is not the right party to run the country. They will collapse this country and its people will die in the millions of hunger, poverty. They will eventually be overthrown by their own people. There is no other way the ANC will come to an end.

Re - as the Mfekane was in full swing...
Not forgetting that the local tribesmen were eating each other in order to survive.
