USA compares South Africa to Apartheid in leaked cables.

Leaked diplomatic cables from last year (2010) have drawn blatant comparisons between historic apartheid and the current ANC government.

While disputes inside the country have increasingly questioned the origins and credibility of ANC leaders, the US has questioned fascist responses to protests from impoverished communities.

Minorities in SA question race-based politics formed around apartheid identities of white, colored, Indian and black. It seems that rather than offering a cure for SA society, such categories are actually inflaming racial divisions.

Nevertheless, the country seems to be balancing a civil war between various ANC factions at present.

An ode to Andries Tatane:

it's no secret that things got worse after the apartheid ended.

LOL..Very true, but try telling that to some of the libs on here. Angry liberal in 3, 2 ,1..

What the ANC thinks of a free media?
Julius Malema calls a BBC journalist a "bastard"; and accuses him of having "white" racist "tendencies".
In a strange way, that episode was blissfully enlightening.
So I'm with the USA cable in this case.

Asking questions and making comments is called a "white tendency".
