At twelve years old like most youngsters you were foolish, naive and gullible. You had no clue what happened North of SA when perfectly healthy economies were wrecked by marxist majority rule.

You thought SA would different. The ANC were and are no different to Mugabe/ZANU. You thought that whites were racist. You did not know that they were pragmatic. Look where we are today. Are you proud of SA? You probably think that Mandela was a saint when he was just a pragmatist as well. 

The NP were a product of SA and their times. Better than the ANC? You do the maths - sunnyboy.
