The other "root cause" of South Africa's problem is the teachings of Karl Marx. Many of the leadership of the African National Congress were trained in the former Soviet Union to govern with Marxist policies. Stalinist politices are also beginning to take hold as defense forces are being replaced with members of the ANC's former military wing.

There is a correlation between communism and hatred, racism and poverty. Cuba, "Palestine," Zimbabwe, and now South Africa are examples of what happens when the people who run the show were trained in the Soviet Union. Justice is non-existent, blame is deferred onto others, basic infrastructure is horrible, and people die of starvation when Marxism is the school of thought.

I've been following this story in South Africa for several years. I have a customer in my bookstore who visits his family about once a year. He's from what he believes is a safer area of South Africa. After talking with him, I've sought out news about South Africa. As the situation worsens, the world news organizations will be forced to talk about it. I just hope that we don't have to wait for Nelson Mandela's death and the possible genocide to follow for the reporters to be in place.
