Anti apartheid activist, Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu has passed away at age ninety.

Probably did more to end apartheid than Mandela. The South African government didn't mind keeping Madela behind bars, but they weren't prepared to take the risk of incarcerating a bishop of the Church.



So Desmond stayed free and keep the flag flying all over the world.

He was as critical of the ANC government post Mandela as he was of white minority rule,

That is because the ANC became just as tyrannical and corrupt as the Boer government.

Whilst I would never support or condone racism of any kind, it cannot be ignored that since regaining power over their own nation, South Africans are struggling in many ways. Power shortages, unemployment, crime rates and corruption are ruining their country.



If they could have somehow worked out how to work together and build on the strengths of both black and white South Africans it would be a great nation.



But such a scenario is impossible while common human nature is clearly racist regardless of the denials of multiculturalists that "diversity is strength".



Not yet it isn't. Not by a loooong way.

The real tragedy of this is that it took 82 years for it to happen.
