I've heard about the grid blackouts and some other stuff, but seems the trains don't run on time either.
https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2023/02/27/the-collapse-of-south-africa-n533503 With so many things going to pieces all around the world these days, it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Particularly when so much of the global news media’s attention is riveted on the war in Ukraine, other things can slip through the cracks. For example, were you aware that the government of South Africa has basically collapsed? And it happened fairly quickly. Take a look at this lengthy Twitter thread from someone who actually lives there. The government and the police have almost disappeared, the energy grid has imploded, half of the people in the country are out of work and the nation’s infrastructure has crumbled. View Quote Trains (from the Economist in case you think this is all rando ravings): Another South African firm stumbling towards collapse may be even more systemically important, since it affects not just its home country but the wider region. Transnet, which runs the railways, ports and pipelines that connect sub-Saharan Africa’s most industrial economy with the outside world, is in deep trouble. Like Eskom, it was badly managed by hacks “deployed” by the ruling party and then pillaged through corrupt contracts, many signed during the era of “state capture” under Jacob Zuma, a former president. Now, weighed down by debt and with hundreds of broken locomotives, it cannot keep all of its freight trains running. View Quote Samples from the referenced twitter thread:

Only thing I care about is wether or not the non-communist whites can make it out of there before becoming cannibal food

Did anyone really think putting the ANC and their ilk in charge would keep things going like before?

Don’t forgot who was on national television calling South Africa a racist, white supremacist country due to apartheid in the 70s and 80s. What a beacon of diversity that country has become, yeah?
Hint: he “runs” our country now thanks to 51.3% of the stupid motherfuckers on our own shores. |

Coming to a country near you. FJB was involved in destroying SA

I have a friend who is muslim in SA. He is always complaining about "loadshedding", i.e., rolling blackouts.

The writings been on their wall for some time. Same writing is on our wall, as well.

During a reorg a few years back I temporarily had a handful of SW guys who were based in Joburg; they all wanted out. I tried to get them to the US or UK with a story crafted around business need. During one of the discussions with HR, one of the SA guys was frank about why they wanted to leave. The HR person was an African American and killed the deal claiming the SA guy was raciss.
This AA HR person had never travelled outside the US and had always lived in middle/upper white neighborhoods. |

You know what the scariest thing is?
If they could build a land bridge between South Africa and the Continental United States, they would do it |

So is this what we can look forward to when the U.S. approaches a similar state: Impressions of South Africa Today?

This is a screenshot of a mad max style fuel run pretty close to the movie. A couple other vids I have of looters getting canned ones about to get the tire treatment other looks dead several people hitting him with bats. |

I’ve been to SA
The only thing I’m surprised about is it’s happening this late. The mentality has to be seen to be believed. They don’t believe in work or science they believe in magic and superstition . |

#zombieland @k9_reaper · Feb 25 13. Our murder rate is higher than the death rate in Ukraine's current conflict. Higher than an active war zone. 100' of rapes a day.. 1000's of kidnappings every month. 90 hijackings a day. Farmers being murdered like flies in the most brutal ways imaginable. View Quote Is this one true? |

Pretty standard among the former European colonies in that continent.
Kick out the colonizers....turn to shit. |

Fewer Whites running things does that to a nation. Only hope now is getting China to take over.

lf of the people in the country are out of work and the nation's infrastructure has crumbled View Quote Meanwhile, jobs related to goverment work (such as electrical) were given based on tribal connections not ability - so a large part of the work force simply left. The nuclear plants are shut down, the replacement plants - I think 2 of 3 blew up due to construction problems. Who is supposed to maintain them - the people who knew how to do it, or the people with tribal connections... Beautiful country. A lot of good people - but a hopelessly corrupt government thanks to international intervention. The world killed South Africa - because it was considered the moral thing to do. |

I am not sure. He doesn't provide sources so some may be hyperbole. He also says the ratio of takers to producers is 10:1 or something like that -- but crazy and scary as shit if any of this is half true |

You must have the ability to plan ahead to keep things running. They don’t have it, the same inability can be seen elsewhere.

We are all quite surprised
It didn’t happen sooner. They had a good run. |

South Africa used to be a developed country. Who could have predicted this would happen?
