The Future Of South Africa

Rhodes Napier

The proposal by the ANC to expropriate European property has drawn renewed international attention to South Africa. The policy, which is the inevitable denouement of the 'rainbow' nation's descent into majoritarian despotism, has coincided with a surge in the global nationalist right in the western world. That Cyril Rhamaphosa thought it would be sound to initiate a policy to 'redress the results of past racial discriminatory laws' and to provide greater farming opportunities for 'LGBTQI+' individuals', at a time when the US government is banning DEI initiatives, is a reflection of the party's low human capital. Sprinkled with generically woke nomenklatura in a risible attempt to cover up its bigoted agenda, the act would invest a variety of government bodies from the national to the local level with the authority to expropriate property, if doing so is deemed to have a 'public purpose'. While the wording outlines some aspects of the public purpose to include general administration and 'service delivery', it also includes the nebulous concept of expropriation when in the 'public interest'. The constitution of South Africa in turn defines the 'public interest' as including measures to combat the 'legacy' of historical racial discrimination. The act also includes a number of caveats which would permit expropriation without any compensation, if amongst other criteria, owners were deemed not to have willingly utilised the land when capable of doing so.

As ever, while many leftists and hazosphere third worldists will attempt to gaslight audiences about the practical implications of the bill, it is as bad as is it originally seemed when you came across the headline reports from the Daily Wire or the 'Europa Invictus' X account. While it affects to be superficially technical in nature, and provides provisions like judicial oversight of land expropriation, it should be understood within the wider context of a country in which farm murders are common, black nationalists brazenly call for the extermination of whites and in which emigration has triggered a precipitous decline in the population of European South Africans. There's no doubt that the ultimate outcome of current political and demographic trends, which this bill is one manifestation of, will be the destruction of White South Africa.

Of course, all of this is unsurprising. Gradually, post-apartheid South Africa has evolved to mirror the worst excesses of its northern neighbour's war against Anglo Rhodesians. Every integration-sceptic in the 1990s accurately predicted that 'one-man-one-vote' would inexorably lead to the persecution of South Africa's founding population. The only error on the part of some was that they condensed the time frame. While Uganda's or Zanzibar's expulsion of its respective Asian or Arab minorities, the Congo's ethnic cleansing of Belgian settlers or Zimbabwe's farm invasions occurred in tandem with independence, 'democratic' South Africa has seen a more gradual transition to state sanctioned racial violence. This partly reflects a larger white minority population and the spotlight placed on the country as a supposedly paradigmatic example of successful multiculturalism.
