Make your predictions: http://predictionbook.com/predictions/22373 "South Africa will be a smoking ruin similar to Zimbabwe by 2033. Specifically, the price of gold in Rand will have risen at least 20-fold (current price 12,857.80 rand / oz) , and unemployment will be at least 40% currently 23%." It is possible that a) Nelson Mandela was in many ways an admirable person (IMHO true), and b) Majority rule will result in a bad outcome for almost all South Africans, worse than continued white majority rule (IMHO quite likely), and c) It was in some sense the right outcome (in line with the argument that one person one vote democracy is the least worst system, in spite of its many ill effects across the world).
