Protest!

William Shakespeare once wrote, the pen is mightier than the sword. In the case of South Africa this rings true. For 4 decades South Africa was at war, at home and internationally. Where the Old South African government waged bush war, members of the ANC were at the time exiled or imprisoned. For those who were in exile their benefactors were none other than the governments of the day, Sweden, Norway,  Cuba, various African countries and primarily Russia, who, at the time, bent on world domination funded a large portion of the ANC's financial needs and provided weapons which were turned on civilians and even the black population at large with bombing campaigns in the cities. Due to support from Russia and the ANC"S allies they created an international campaign which allowed themselves to be exposed as the fighters of justice, peace and equal rights. This said the ANC, a mainly communist body played the racist card to meet their end, unfortunately for the South African government at this time, it was the perfect recipe for disaster as the world became more aware of the term"apartheid" which was originally coined by Hendrik Verwoerd.
Due to this sympathy was in the ANC's favour whilst the old South African regime waged war on the fronts, the ANC waged war in the halls of the U.N. and in countries sympathetic to their cause. The ANC branches used every means possible to meet their ends including using photos of blacks sleeping in parks and then declaring to the world that the individual in the shot had indeed been killed by the police. Disinformation had found a new ally.

Eventually the ANC won out and the country was forced to take steps to allow the ANC to take power. However, what was thought to be a new beginning for all has escalated into absolute chaos. Murder is the order of the day, cities lie in ruin, becoming squatter camps, nothing is maintained and what used to be an orderly society and an almost 1st world country has descended into a dustbowl of litter, dirt, shanty towns and a society falling apart at the seams.

Now, the world suffers from Apartheid fatigue, no-one cares about the little old woman who is raped, stabbed has boiling water thrown over her and eventually and probably mercifully she is put out of her misery with a bullet to the head- her crime..........she is white. A lie? No, it happened and has happened to an old woman I knew and I have heard stories of other places where this has also occurred.

Where are the ANC now when they are suppose to protect and support everyone no matter what colour you are???
 Busy grooming their future leader, a convicted felon who is doing his best to dissolve any group who opposes his rise to stardom. 
The ANC have learnt well from their Russian masters,  yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. I think even Shakespeare would have a deep admiration for the ploys of the present government.
