South Africa is moving from a hyper-concentrated wealth society to a more typically grossly uneven situation. But it's better for many than it was ten years ago, and better than the Armageddon many assumed would follow majority rule. And the Oppenehiemers could spare a few billion without putting a crimp in their lifestyle.

I have never seen a political or economic policy that wasn't imperfect, some more than others.

As for the rest of Africa, it's up to the West to put their foot down harder. I have no idea if they will. It's too bad Mbeki could have been a leader in that movement, but his record with Mugabe is too disgraceful to let him stand for anything now.
