Trouble in South Africa

Here are links to two articles describing attacks on the farmers of South Africa. One speaks of literal attacks, murders and the like. The other speaks of a proposed governmental "attack" which will shift the ownership of farm land from farmers to the state.

These look very much like what happened to the farmers of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. I fear we are watching the slow, inexorable slide of South Africa into the corruption, chaos, disease and poverty that characterize most of Africa. If I had money invested in SA, I'd be moving it somewhere safer and doing it sooner rather than later.
