Why have countries like South Africa not taken over more of Africa?

Would you want more of Africa?

Abolishing apartheid really cramped their style.

There is a giant desert in between Egypt and the natural resources of sub-Saharan Africa.

South Africa is falling apart. They aren’t in a position to take over anything.

Most of Africa is a wildlife preserve

South Africa can’t take over keeping its own lights on, much less invading puny Lesotho or Swaziland.

Know how we know you don’t keep up with current events?

I think there is going to be a major world political shift towards the continent. There are huge untapped natural resources. There are poor people that a powerful country could control?

Let me tell you a little story about the belt and road initiative...

Bro, South Africa is F@*($ed. They went hardcore woke, requiring certain percentages of races working in industries. That's why there are power outages.

The bartender (he was Zulu) that I was with for over a week told me that "South Africans don't respect life." This is a black dude, from a neighboring country, throwing up his hands and saying, "y'all crazy." There's a sign.

Even other Africans knew they were sunk when I was there years ago. When you remove rule of fair law, (the British system) shite falls apart. Indians made it worse by perfecting bureaucracy. SA laws passed since the ANC was elected have gotten to the point where basic infrastructure can't exist and maintain water, power, etc.

I've been on the South Korea/North Korean border, and have seen more concertina wire *in* the Protea property I was staying at in Joburg, than I did in a place where mines were planted (Korea.)

Most of Africa was colonized by the EU. The smart Africans went to their colonizing countries (France, Belgium, etc.) My favorite bartender from the Congo, Joe, was in Brussels. He was also a paralegal. People that can leave Africa, do.

South Africa was all up in Angola during their civil war. I worked in Angola with a ex military guy from South Africa and he told me that the last time he was in Angola was in a tank just outside Luanda.

Africa is currently being taken over by the Chinese. They are everywhere.

Really is like watching the south after the civil war.

No, I don't think the South completely collapsed and forgot how to farm and feed themselves, sent their currency into hyper inflation previously unseen by humans, before begging others to come in and teach them how to take care of themselves.

Yeah, you sure showed them. How are those crops doing?
