1. B'live me. SA needs all the help it can get.It's in economic
Alan ,   SA   (03.12.16)
mess / disaster. SA is threatened every day by S&P,Moodies etc with downgrading. SA is in a terrible drought. All $ millionairs of every persuasion are moving out with their skills so who will pay the income tax. The ANC ruling party has allowed the so called "previously disadvantaged" Muslims to rise to EXTREMELY influential positions in the party (they were NEVER disadvantaged. 5 minutes after the ANC attained power in the first democratic election most started moving into the best previously Jewish owned houses and apartments-where did they get the quick cash if they were so previously disadvantaged??? (Jews went to US AUSTRALIA UK etc Oh yes a few made aliyah.BTW).The Black population still live in poverty on the other hand in the old Black areas The Muslim population is increasing daily as immigrants arrive from every Muslim land It is these Muslims that are behind every anti semite and anti Israel move here.They have looooooong pockets ,financed by who....well the usual suspects.,as u can imagine. The Govt has to its credit called for advice from our captains of commerce for advice and I think they are starting to sit up and listen There is such a lot for Israel to help with here. You name it! All these AS trash can do is put Pigs Heads in the Food Isle Refrigerators.They are really trash.as they pay the unemployed Black youths to dance and demo outside any Jewish or Israeli function.They are in student comitees . "Charities" etc Local Govt, I dont think Jews are in danger here as Jews for now-but it could deteriorate.

Excellent commentary from Doc in CT. I would add that many Black South Africans, particularly religious Christians are very supportive of Israel, very warm towards their fellow Jewish citizens and like many in this region of predominantly Christian Southern Africa quite fearful and wary of Islam, Moslems and especially concerned ate routs like Boko Haram, Al ShabB and others which are destroying so much of the North and East of Africa. There are also very many Africans in SA who have sought refuge from Zimbabwe, DRC and other mainly Christian countries who are very supportive of Israel. Even in SA BDS can hardly be described as mainstream or successful
