Zimbabwe yesterday, South Africa tomorrow?

The Zimbabwe Mail has some worrying information for South Africans:

'Controversial South African youth leader for the African National Congress has said ANC will follow the example of Zimbabwe's Zanu PF and start to take over white-owned farms by the end of the year.

The comments were made by Julius Malema at a mine 160 kilometers outside Harare in Zimbabwe.

The ANC Youth Wing leader, enthused by rented Zanu PF crowd, said Zimbabwe had led the way in fighting over land and promised to unleash Zimbabwean tactics on South African white farmers.

He encouraged Zimbabweans to also take over white and foreign-owned companies. Malema said the people must embrace liberation and continue to fight against what he called Western imperialism.

He said: "You are not alone. Your struggle is our struggle."

Malema also said he would continue to sing the song: "Kill the Boer," a former ANC chant against the apartheid regime. The song was last week banned in a South African court.

The ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, shot to fame by expressing his undying support for the South African President, Jacob Zuma, by saying: "We are prepared to take up arms and kill for Zuma."'

South Africa's future as the 'rainbow nation' looks less likely by the day.
