A few years have passed since Nelson Mandela wrote his book, LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. Now that he is about to retire, he should once again write a follow up book, only this time with the title A SHORT WALK TO ANARCHY.
 
As President of the country, it has taken him less than five years to once again prove that there is no such thing as an African democracy and he should now admit it. In five short years Nelson Mandela and his cohorts have turned a once wealthy country, in fact the jewel of Africa, into another third world Kleptocracy of murder, rape, mismanagement, nepotism, you name it, they managed to do it.   His entire dream of a Black run democracy has been shown up for the myth it is. All his dreams are lying in tatters at his feet as he helplessly looks on as the country slides further into anarchy. All that is left of his Rainbow Nation dream is the blood of its victims and the black of despair. 

During 1994 I warned in my letters to The Citizen that the criminals will systematically start looting the Treasury and they did not disappoint. Not one single department in any office of government is sacrosanct from their propensity for criminality. Right from the top of the pecking order, down to the bottom.  

When Mandela and the other ANC leaders incited the masses to make the country ungovernable, he never expected that his own government would today reap what they have sown some years ago. By chanting slogans such as “kill the Boer, kill the farmer” and by the necklacing of non-conforming Black people, what did they expect?  Did they expect the baying for blood by his criminal supporters would suddenly cease the day they start governing the country? You cannot incite people to murder, maim, rob banks for funds and then expect this culture you yourself created to stop on any specific day that you nominate. 

This brings us to another point. How can anybody seriously expect this government of inciters to now act against their own constituency? 

They are supposed to be politicians now and no politician, with the exception of FW de Klerk, has ever acted against his own constituency. This treachery by de Klerk turned out to be fatal for him and his party, so do not expect the ANC to make the same mistake. They want to be in power forever; even if it takes a one party state do so. This is Africa and the realities of Black Africa are now with us, unless the Whites decide to change it.  That is the option that faces us.

Nelson Mandela can now change this perception by at least admitting that Black rule was not such a good idea after all. This should be his message to the world, if only he would write that follow up book.
