South Africa
Anyone here from there? Watching a movie called Zulu, about drug gangs in south africa. Is it like the movie, with slums, and such. Feel so sorry for a country so rich.

Quote:
It was always thus. It will always be. The supposed richness of the country is not as impressive as people think. People think Gold and Diamonds and it should be rolling in money. Most of the diamond minds a long since played out. And the gold is so deep, deeper than the grand canyon in the most extreme cases that it's an economically marginal operation to extract it. Back when it was a mish mash of colonies the colonial overlords ie Whites, had most of the wealth. Like anywhere there were a few of them at the very top who were very wealthy, the vast majority were pretty normal to poor by western standards. And the majority of the inhabbitants, ie blacks, were mostly poor. Now that it's run by blacks ie the ANC, there are a few at the very top who have most of the wealth, and the vast majority, ie blacks, are mostly poor. As to the specifics of Zulu drug gangs I can't comment but it wouldn't surprise me. There has always been a subculture of extreme criminiality and violence which is simply part of the country and will likely never change. - Peter.

Sounds like "the more things change, the more they stay the same". I forgot who coined that, but quite true.
