The 40 000 was a play on the 40 thieves - as Zuma has put a kleptocracy in place with just about every ANC functionary on the take. If you look at what Zuma has been saying the last few days you will see he is trying to shift his criminality onto whites. Your friend that hates whites needs to grow up - all power is in the hands of the ANC - and has been for the 25 years. Only they can make things better. A few whites benefitted greatly from Apartheid - most whites were not wealthy - they got by. Today it is the same - after nearly 25 years there is a group of connected blacks who have a great life and most blacks are getting by - or still poverty stricken as the ANC has done no more for them than the Nats. Apartheid was only in place for about 40 years - and the ANC has now been in charge for nearly 25 years and stealing with great abandon.
