Shame he did not use any.  People need to quit trying to equate what happened in Rhodesia and RSA to the civil rights movement in America.  Tribalism is a vicious thing and thats what RSA and Rhodesia have been experencing . Unchecked tribalism thanks to communists and bleeding hearts.

Quoted:
My wife was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, in a wealthy white suburb called Houghton. She lived in a huge mansion with a pool and a tennis court, and eight foot walls around the entire home. They had black servants who lived with them, cooked and cleaned for them. They lived in a run down, leaky little house in a remote part of the back yard, cut off from the rest of the house.

The black servants used to steal anything not nailed down, so she became used to locking her bedroom door, and keeping her own room clean. In the kitchen, cupboards were locked as well, because they would steal sugar to make booze, and steal meat to eat as well. But they did prepare food for them, and looked after my wife as well. There was a mentally ill boy next door, who once tried to lure my wife away from the yard, and it was the family servants that protected her from him and chased him off.

Blacks had to be off the streets by six PM in the cities, they could be arrested for anything, including not carrying their passbooks. They were routinely beaten or shot for any reason or no reason at all. My wife's mother often had to go bail them out for minor infractions, and while there, the police treated her mother like shit. South Africa was a police state, make no mistake. Blacks were treated terribly, but whites could  face the wrath of the government as well.

Growing up, there wasn't much TV there. They allowed some shows like the Brady Bunch, The Love Boat and everyone loved Dallas. Much of television was broadcast in Afrikaans, so if you didn't learn to speak Afrikaans, you were going to miss out on a lot.

My wife was very fond of the blacks who served them. She used to eat out in the back yard with them, often preferring the tribal food they made for themselves to the food they prepared for her family. When their gardener Sampson got sick, my wife's family paid for his hospital care. It turned out he was diabetic. And his family came visiting in the hospital and brought him a 2 liter of Coke. It was hopeless, they couldn't get them to understand what it meant to be diabetic. Poor Sampson did not last long.

My wife said the blacks there tended to be very close to the families they served, and they had worked out their plan for when the revolution came. Since  they could never hurt the families they served, they would instead go kill their neighbors, and the neighbor's would come over to kill their family. The whites there lived in constant fear of being wiped out by the blacks, and that is why they continued to support the apartheid regime.

My wife went to a Catholic school where they taught against apartheid, but it was an all white school. By the time she was sixteen, the mood in the country had become so dangerous, they decided to leave the country. They sold their home and moved to the US.

Looking back, she says the abuse and torture the blacks of South Africa endured was appalling, and she is surprised there was no revolution. In 1994 when FW DeKlerk finally dismantled apartheid, she expected mass retaliations. And for sure, there have been retaliations, but not on the level she expected. The bloody revolution never came. But the whites are now suffering a slower death by a thousand cuts, as crime has spiraled out of control. My wife's sister, who still lives in Johannesburg, lives in a home surrounded by walls, in a neighborhood again surrounded by walls, with armed guards at every entrance. Home invasions are common, and when they come it isn't just to steal. They rape and then murder as well. The bloody revolution is here, it's just in slow motion, one family at a time.

Despite the racist societal model, South Africans (black and white) were safer under Apartheid. (the later part of that sentence is a direct quote from a native African)

Yeah south africa has more infrastructure , they both have a bunch of tribal savages.  I have little doubt that they will be more alike than not given a little more time. The current governance model has worked swimingly well.

A vast continent with way too little water concentrated in a way to ensure perpetual war.

Technology is the only way out.
