I thought about the same thing also. Is it that there won't be a market for the diamonds if whites don't have a say in the matter or what? Its about time blacks showed some type of ownership of Africa's natural resources.

Botswana is one of the better African counties.

Business is ok in Africa but just remember one thing, "AFRICA FOR BLACK AFRICANS!!" Black nationalism and Black first forever!

@barlog20 This ain't about what US/ Brit want! This is about peaceful establishment of democracy in SA without messing the country up. The racist regime ensured deskilling of SA blacks and blocking education beyond just basic literacy. So you don't wake up in the morning and be able to run an economy without skill. Blacks need to be educated and they are, and will then ascend into those top jobs and shape their nation. All SA citizens will be doing this. Evil past shouldn't blind them of that.

@ASPRINALARD OK then why do whites still control the Natural resources in South Africa?Why did`nt Mandela take control of the natural resources when he became "President" of South Africa?Why did U.S and the British government support him so much when it was they who supported the white racist Apartheid government with money and weapons to murder black South Africans?Can`t wait for your retarded answers.Mandela is one of those tap dancing Negros who tap dance to the tune of his white masters.

@barlog20 Only an idiot would believe that Mandela can suffer so much just to be a front put up by US or Brit! People like Winnie have personal issues to deal with! That's why she comes up with rubbish like that! I admire Mandela fr nt responding to such pathetic nonsense! Get it! If it wasn't for MDC's Tendae's exceptional leadership, Zim woes wouldn't be halted. Even then this young leader has to deal with bullshit from this fading despot, Mugabe! Troubles here will last for some time yet!

[barlog20]

@ASPRINALARD Blinded by hate?Watch the documentary "South Africa: Apartheid Did Not Die" by John Pilger whose a white brit.Even he admits that Mandela was nothing but a front put in their by the U.S and brits and he even shows you how they did it.If `m blinded by racism then then Mandela ex wife and John Pilger must be blinded by racism cause they both admit that Mandela sold out.Mugabe is failed as a leader?Zimbabwe experienced some economic growth so taking the land from whites was a good idea

[ASPRINALARD]

@barlog20 Mandela is not just a hero, he is an unparalleled inspirational liberation, humanitarian and justice icon! He is the epitaph of human goodness! You are blinded by racism you lose sense of reason and balance! Consumed by blind hate that a despot like Mugabe grabs on as an excuse for his failings as a leader! We don't need that mentality in this world today. There is a smart way to win the battle against injustice and South Africa will train the deskilled blacks and they will benefit.

@ASPRINALARD Mugabe is no angel and he was a puppet for the U.S and Britain.When he rebelled against them by taking the land away from whites then that`s when they put sanctions on him.MDC is a another puppet for the west.The western powers is only interested in looting Africa of its resources and keeping Africa poor.Zim economy went downhill after the sanctions.You think Mandela is a hero but most of the natural resources still in whites hands in South Africa.

[ASPRINALARD]

@barlog20 Get your facts straight, be real! If it wasn't for MDC, Zim economy free-fall wouldn't be halted! The trajectory of Zim economy was downwards since Mugabe took office, well before sanctions! They were the last straw on a dying horse! There is a better way of engaging in land reform, not attacking and killing productive people! It's stupid! Look what then happened, then he turned around and killed ordinary people for voting for different party! As for Mandela, I wouldn't sink that low!

[barlog20]

@ASPRINALARD Nelson Mandela sold out South Africa.They used him as a puppet to pacify South Africans so whites can stay in control of South Africa`s natural resources.Even Mandela`s ex wife admitted that he sold out.And Mugabe did not destroy Zimbabwe,it was the sanction put on Zimbabwe by the west which Destroyed Zimbabwe.They did`nt like the fact that he was taking the land back from the whites.Zimbabwe now has a a growing economy.
