Everyone can say what they like about South Africa, and be shocked, I mean we are talking of hijackings using explosives and well coordinated. But the reality of South Africa is the question around land. Nothing matters as much as the question of land politically and economically.
Nobody understood how to handle that economy in 1994, nobody thought about the people, now the people need something. There is no need for a debate, look at the statistics, politically, the people believe they will be better of with some land, land they believe was taken away from them at the point of a gun.
This action will have huge ramifications for Southern Africa, the political reality of South Africa, if South Africa will still exist will be dramatically different. But before that there will be chaos last seen at the Independence of Congo as Lumumba took power. It will be in classical white men's language a major disturbance.
Armed gangs will become armed armies, guns will be everywhere. There will be enough chaos. Guns from armories are likely to be released, it's never going to be a piece of cake, but the people will be astute and prevail.
The people prevail when they understand the true meaning of liberty and there was an Africa before colonialism, borders could easily be crossed, but you respected the territory.
