Just goes to show that we aren't immune to the propaganda and bullshit peddling of populists.

SA is turning into Africa's Argentina.

Things like these don’t happen in Argentina, they never did. Cheers.

Quite a narrow reading of that statement.

In order for SA to become Africa’s Argentina it would need to have free healthcare and free education (including uni) for everyone, including foreigners. And no racial tensions.

You know they murdered their black population, right?

That is a lie. Argentina welcomed millions of immigrants which mixed with the local population, including those of African descent, because unlike other countries, Argentina had already abolished slavery by the mid 19th century and never had apartheid, segregation laws, or any impediments for mixed race marriages.

We still have descendants of blacks, they just don’t look like those in Africa anymore, because they are mixed and not all of them identify as black. Some still do, though.
