South Africa's new government brings Black and white together. It's also reviving racial tensions
South Africa’s new coalition government has brought a Black president and a white opposition leader together in an image of unity.

Its been a long time since apartheid ended but the shadow of it lives on. The Mandela govt tried to retain a civil society but it is time to put some boosters on it to form a better world.
As a start I would restore the land stolen from farmers in the 60s when they were all herded onto the wretched townships. There will be records of this and it should be a quick win. There should be no compensation to the settlers.
Secondly the country needs to nationalise its mineral industry and use the proceeds to modernise the country. Housing schools and hospitals.
There could be ways of doing this such as allowing the likes of De Beers to run them under license. Whichever has the greatest return.
I would also break up the blight of white ghettos so that white folk do not have a grip on the better areas.
I would also tax the white private schools to provide funds to improvethe schools in black areas to help educate poeple better.
South Africa has waited long enough for the world ro invest and they have waited in vain. Its time to act before its too late.
