Of course he did.

I'm not sure he did in particular, but what is happening part of the natural progression of communism in Africa and elsewhere and it always leads to shortages and ultimately, violence.

What has happened is that it has been a full generation since Mandela has come to power....a full 25 years. In that ime I'm supposing tat the ANC elites have decided that they have learned how to operate things in South Africa and white help is no longer needed .

Here's the problem though, the white South Africans have been in many parts of South Africa (the Cape) for as long as any black South Africans and in some places along the coast and the interior longer. The Boer's (Dutch) believe they have a God given right to a lot of these places especially in Transvaal and Orange Free State. They believe their blood bought them that right.....see he Battle of Blood River in 1838.

If it gets bad, one thing I believe is certain is that the the Boers and the descendants of the Voortrek will not go peacefully and they will take a lot of what they call "Keffirs" with them on the way out. The Rhodesian expats will probably ally with them and ironically the Zulus who do not like the ANC and its Xhosa control....Xhosa and Zulu do not like each oter
