SA: From pariah to a powerhouse in Africa
Edited on Mon Apr-26-04 11:27 AM by dArKeR

Ten years after the end of apartheid, South Africa basks in its new-found prestige as an African powerhouse.

Its new world status sharply contrasts with the apartheid days, when South Africa was an international pariah, its economy hard hit by sanctions.

South Africa's standing in the world soared after 1994, when it earned international respect for undergoing a "miracle" transition from apartheid to a multiracial democracy and avoiding descent into warfare.

As 60 Minutes reported last night, 70% plus of SA is still control buy Cheney and Bush's White Men. I couldn't believe all the terrible things I saw on 60 Minutes story last night. And imagine, why doesn't Kerry make a commercial showing these facts with a pics of Cheney in the corner stating the facts of record of what Cheney supported to the it's collapse.

And there's got to be more there which the American Media Whores (American Media Whore Corporate Whore Directors) and NOT publishing. There's got to be a big Cheney/Bush/Carlyle monetary slush fund link to SA.
