"Africa is a big place, but there is massive poverty too. The whole African continent produces less than France, and is roughly half that of Germany's GDP. With an extra 2 billion young people, I suspect that there will be some pretty big political upheavals" - #vestact

South Africa's race communist policies mean it has a 7 to 1 ratio of welfare recipients to taxpayers Anyone who is even somewhat productive has the life squeezed out of them by taxes that pay for the lifestyles of welfare leeches, and ever more DEI regulation is foisted on them
