Humans by nature are greedy...That is one reason why however successful an incumbent government is, the voters view it as not doing enough.

Mandela got them freedom and as part of the deal had to let the whites/Afrikaer keep the mines.  Now, if the black government is not corrupt and colluding with the rich miners, should enact new laws through parliament putting a time limit on ownership or forcing them to go public. Much like Indira in 1971 revoked the "purse" for all the "Kings" in India.

Nelson Mandela headlined every newspaper in the world today, and all you could cull from that was this outlier piece of drivel?
