Walter Williams: 'Blacks were better off under apartheid' (02:22)

Over the past 32 years human rights situation in Zimbabwe have been blatantly violated by a black government that masquerades as a champion of peace and democracy, thus the Mugabe regime has eroded all norms of 21st century civilization.

In contrast, Ian Smith’s Rhodesian era turns out to be better than "our" black government.

Most black Zimbabweans would now prefer Ian Smith as leader to Robert Mugabe – though the human instinct of freedom remains high on the agenda. The Mugabe regime has perpetrated serious crimes against its own people – black-on-black.

For what’s the purpose of freedom when freedom kills you, when freedom denies you free speech, when freedom kills your relatives, when freedom starves you, when freedom excludes you on tribal grounds?

Cape Coloureds & Elderly Blacks Miss Apartheid: Living Standards much better under apartheid; despite forced removals

The ANC is Not for US, Say Coloured Voters

Cape Town — Much has been said about the 'coloured vote' in the Western Cape being the ANC's Achilles heel. Being the one province in the country that does not have a majority black population - the ANC's traditional voter base - and the ANC's inability to woo coloured voters to provide them with an outright win has seen Cape Town swing between the DA and ANC until the DA gathered strength with the winning the province in 2009.

Not even Nelson Mandela's reign in the early days of democracy was able to grant the ANC an outright majority vote in the province. West Cape News hit the streets of Grassy Park in an effort to obtain insight into the mood ahead of upcoming local government elections.

Among the tens of coloured people canvassed during a day in Grassy Park, most elderly people said a lack of jobs and high levels of crime reflected badly on the ANC. Leaning toward the right, a number of people said their lifestyles were better under apartheid, despite the fact of forced removals.

"They should have left things as they were. Before, there was very little crime, the death penalty was in, and one could send your children to the shop at night. Everybody had jobs. People were given houses and not put out on the streets like now. In 1994," said a resident who did not want to be identified.

She said despite the Group Areas Act, the apartheid government provided for them. "People who were kicked out of Constantia were put in council flats. Look at the way people are living now. People are not put into flats. Now there is crime and drugs. Why vote for the ANC if all of this is happening?" she said.

First, They Came For South Africa. Then…... Black Rule Brings Inevitable To South Africa.... - VDare

Tired of Black Apartheid denying white S. Africans their rights in accordance with the International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights (Res. 2200; 18 July ‘76)? Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) provide S. Africa’s minorities with international legal standing for Secession and Self Determination, -- like Kosovo -- by the “recognition of a human community within a sovereign state enjoying a right to self-determination.” SAHRC WC-2009-0455BS + HC-WC # 19663-09 = Cape Republic of Good Hope

Two VDare OpEds, which bring together a large number of the underlying corruption, ideological, crime, et al factors and circumstances in South Africa; that provide context to Huntley's White Refugee Application; which most news articles negligently or intentionally fail to include:

"Increasingly, whites are economic slaves," he writes. "They pay 80 percent of personal taxes, despite earning only 50 percent of total salaries. Afrikaners as a group pay the highest portion of overall tax in South Africa -- 36 percent -- while white English-speakers pay 32 percent. When he was in exile in Britain, [President Thabo] Mbeki is reputed to have said, 'We will suck the whites dry,' and that is more or less what is happening. South Africa is like a small, first-world economy like that of Denmark or Norway, still run by whites, but which must support a welfare state for 40 million blacks and Coloreds."
-- Dr. Dan Roodt

The New York Times in 1998 reported that some 500 white farmers had been murdered since 1994, and last summer World Net Daily reported that 1,200 have been murdered since that year, with some 6,000 attacks against white farmers. "It's politically correct to kill whites these days," one white farmer told World Net Daily's correspondent, who concluded that "the white Boer Afrikaner farmer is easily the highest at-risk group for murder on Earth."
