Plan

Any plan comes to nothing.

Psalm 146:4

When I was a student at Bristol in the early 90s, I met a black South African member of the ANC. He had a heart full of bitterness against whites & all that apartheid had done to his country. Certainly understandable. But in an age where we hear about "White supremacists" and "Black lives matter" every day from the left, it is time to look at the failures & corruption of the ANC over the last 20 years or so, and remember that deeply flawed & evil as apartheid was, economically, South Africa used to be the richest country in Africa. Is that still the case? I read today that in certain matters of infrastructure, Nigeria has now pulled ahead..

The lesson is, we need each other and our complementary strength & weaknesses to build a better world. We need the Bible & we need Jesus. Just saying white bad, black good, is never the answer. Yes, South Africa, you can beat England at cricket & rugby sometimes with mixed teams, & why not, but we see people fleeing South Africa & playing for England also. The left had plenty to say about South Africa in the 70s & 80s. They don't seem quite so interested in discussing it in 2021.
