The past 20 years have been the most violent in the history of South Africa since the death of Shaka Zulu…and NONE of it has anything to do with WHITE people or APARTHEID… but with BLACK AFRICA.
In South Africa TODAY (under black rule) as many as 30 000 people are murdered EVERY year !
Deaths due to political violence during apartheid: 21000 (over 46 years)
More than 400 000 people have been murdered in South Africa under ANC rule.
Yes, violent crime increased with 33% in South Africa since 'freedom' governance.
[[ Discrepancies: A recent report by the Medical Research Council (MRC) states: While police crime statistics show there were 21,683 murders in the year 2000, the MRC puts the figure at 32,482. The MRC's estimate is close to the figure from the Department of Home Affairs, which is 30,068. This is a third more murders than reported by the SAPS. A discrepancy of more than 10,000 murders is more than a ”margin of error”. ]]
During the apartheid era, from 1948 to 1994 :
- Factional fighting and tribal conflict was again the main cause of violence and death amongst black South Africans
- the average life expectancy of black South Africans had risen to 64 years, on par with Europe’s average life expectancy
- Infant death rates had by been reduced from 174 to 55 infant deaths per thousand, considerably lower than the rest of the African continent’s
- the African population in South Africa increased by 50%.
Deaths due to political violence during apartheid: 21000
* 8580 (92%) of the 9 325 violent deaths during the period June 1990 to July 1993 were caused by Africans killing Africans, or as the news media often calls it, “Black on Black” violence – hostel killings, Inkatha Freedom Party versus ANC killings and taxi and turf war violence, inter-tribal battles for territory.
* 4675 more deaths during the transition process from 1990 to 1994 (total of 14000 in 4 years)
* 7000 in 46 years of apartheid due to SA Defence Force actions, for instance the 600 deaths at Kassinga in Angola during the war in 1978.
The security forces caused 518 deaths (5.6%) throughout the transitional period, the primary causes of deaths were due to “black-on-black necklace murders”, tribal conflict between the ANC-IFP, bombs by the ANC and PAC’s military wings in shopping centers, landmines on farm roads, etc.
More than 2 million black people in South Africa butchered, during the 10-year reign of Shaka Zulu, that is historical facts.
That is not counting the deaths during mass tribal migrations to escape his armies. He had his warriors clubbed to death upon the merest sign of weakness. He neither took a legal wife nor fathered a son, for fear that his heir would plot against him, and had his concubines executed if he discovered they were pregnant. When his mother died, he massacred thousands of his subjects so their families would mourn along with him. Shaka retained his throne through the worst kind of sheer terror, vast mass executions, torture and mindless butchery. His brother, Dingane, was no better. He took power after the assassination of Shaka and started his reign by butchering those loyal to Shaka.That, amongst many other horror stories of black-on-black violence, is the history of Black South Africa.
One day the world will hopefully act like educated people when they judge and speak about racism in South Africa.
