Zimbabwe - 1200 % inflation v1 by Brian A Kennedy

It's difficult to believe your own eyes, but it is true.Why does the world ignore the plight of these people? Have they written off Africa? Do they feel embarrassed to witness this disgraceful excuse for a democracy?In S.A. we may have to wait another generation before people will accept that Apartheid can no longer be blamed for the present government's inherent lack of ability to plan ahead and govern effectively.As the wheel of history turns, there will come a time when it will no longer be fashionable to blame colonization for Africa's problems. If S.A. follows the same road as Zim (and the early signs are there) there may come a time when black people will allow whites to have a say again in the government of the country.Unfortunately, by then it may already be too late, and countless people will first have to die as the victims of crime and poverty.Some may say that the majority of people in South Africa are now suffering more than they ever did under so-called white rule, but because this suffering is caused by their own people, few are prepared to voice that opinion.
