Things
are very bad in South Africa. When the scourge of apartheid was finally
smashed to pieces in 1994, the country seemed to have a bright future
ahead of it. Eight years later, in 2002, 60 percent of South Africans
said life had been better under apartheid. Hard to believe — but that’s
how bad things were in 2002. And now they’re even worse.
When apartheid ended, the life expectancy in South Africa was 64 — the
same as in Turkey and Russia. Now it’s 56, the same as in Somalia.
There are 132.4 rapes per 100,000 people per year, which is by far the
highest in the world: Botswana is in second with 93, Sweden in third
with 64; no other country exceeds 32.
...
there are 31 murders per 100,000 people per year. Or about 50 a day.
That would make South Africa the tenth most murderous country in the
world ...And that’s using South Africa’s official estimates — outside
groups put the murder rate 100 percent higher.

A 2013 piece on World Net Daily quotes Mercer as saying, with all her
anti-apartheid chops, that “more people are murdered in one week under
African rule than died under detention of the Afrikaner government over
the course of roughly four decades.” The South African government
estimates that there are 31 murders per 100,000 people per year. Or
about 50 a day. That would make South Africa the tenth most murderous
country in the world, outpacing Rwanda, Mexico, and both Sudans. And
that’s using South Africa’s official estimates — outside groups put the
murder rate 100 percent higher. Choosing not to trust the South African
authorities is a safe bet — South Africa’s government, which has been
led by Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress since the end of
apartheid, is outstandingly incompetent and corrupt.

President
Zuma sang the genocide song himself: “We are going to shoot them with
machine guns, they are going to run . . . The cabinet will shoot them,
with the machine gun . . . Shoot the Boer
In 2010, a prominent member of the African National Congress named
Julius Malema revived an old anti-apartheid song whose lyrics — says
Genocide Watch — call for genocide: “
Shoot
the Boer, shoot, shoot.”
“Boer” means “farmer” in Afrikaans; colloquially, it means “white South
African.” Malema was ejected from the ANC and convicted of hate speech;
he has since formed a new opposition party, the Economic Freedom
Fighters, which is currently the third largest party in parliament.
Seven months after Malema’s conviction, President Zuma sang the
genocide song himself, leading a crowd in a musical chant: “We are
going to shoot them with machine guns, they are going to run . . . The
cabinet will shoot them, with the machine gun . . . Shoot the Boer, we
are going to hit them, they are going to run.” Watch the video on
YouTube — it is surreal. Nelson Mandela’s successor, the president of
South Africa, addresses a crowd of — according to the Guardian — tens
of thousands, in a giant stadium, and calls for the murder of what
amounts to about 10 percent of his constituents. Among the audience,
uniformed members of the military dance.
