Strange things afoot in South Africa:
'White extremists accused of planning to assassinate Nelson Mandela plotted to expel South Africa's 35 million blacks and kill any who resisted, the High Court in Pretoria was told yesterday.'
'The 22 right-wingers also intended to force a million South Africans of Indian origin to leave the country. The defendants, the first people to face treason charges in post-apartheid South Africa, wanted to reinstate the policies of institutionalised racial segregation that ended with all-race elections in 1994, the court was told. The accused are members of a fanatical organisation called Boeremag. They also face charges of terrorismand of planning to overthrow Mr Mandela's government.'
Compare and contrast the South African response to terrorists (yes, white extremists are terrorists) with that of Robert Mugabe as quoted a couple of posts down the page.
