What would a white exodus in South Africa mean?

Alright, in my previous blog I mentioned a white & Indian exodus in South Africa. We already joke about white people leaving South Africa for Australia, England or Canada & finding the going tough then coming back to South Africa but what if they were to go to a country where everything would be comfortable for them & they would forget about South Africa. What would become of South Africa? 

Farmers: We're led to believe that the majority of farmers in South Africa are white so that vaccum would have to be filled & frankly, I don't think the current crop of black farmers can fill the void so we may have to buy food from elsewhere in the world so food prices may increase more than they already have. 

Skills exit: Some may claim a skills exit in South Africa would leave a vacuum that would be filled by indigenous black professionals & while that may be true, they'll need to obtain the experience that the former non-black people had.

No racism: There would ultimately be less racism if the non-black people in South Africa left. There may be some tribalism but that's just always existed long before the non-black population of South Africa arrived. 

Conclusion: Look, I am not racist but when I look at the racism & inequality in South Africa, I immediately notice what the problem is. A foreign population is in charge of an indigenous people's land. This may not seem like a big thing to outsiders but it definitely is to indigenous people of South Africa & it has been a constant fight between colonialists & indigenous people of South Africa since 1652. So I have nothing against the white population of South Africa & would love for them to get their own farms in the Ukraine or elsewhere outside Africa but the inequality & racial differences have become too stark to ignore & after separation, hopefully, further in the future, wounds would heal & we'd stop hating each other so much when we are separated by land & sea.

Why "KwaTu"?

We are all "Tu": In many, if not, most of the major indigenous languages in Africa, there's the "tu" suffix or "tu" in the body of the word meaning "a person" (NB: It can be spelt differently depending on accents, in some African languages it's "-du" & others "-tho".).  " Tu " may be the best name for Africa collectively.  Hausa: Person ~ Mu tu m Igbo: People ~ Ndị mma dụ Swahili: Person or people ~ M tu au wa tu   Maybe Tu is too short a word to call a continent so we add the place name prefix "kwa" (meaning at/for) present in Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Zulu & other African languages to make Kwatu or KwaTu .

A little about eSayidi ( Port Shepstone )...

Port Shepstone is a small town on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal known by the locals as "eSayidi".  In Port Shepstone, attractions include; Port Shepstone Museum, the annual Sardine Rush, a mall, two shopping centres & the beach.  Port Shepstone was settled by British, Boers & Norwegian settlers during colonisation.  By Port Shepstone is the suburb of Marburg where it's said Emperor Shaka met with Henry Francis Fynn in 1828 after the Zulu's Mpondoland campaign in present-day Eastern Cape.

Aftermath of a possible racial war in South Africa.

Before the end of Apartheid in 1994, a lot was said to be going on in South Africa leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. Among these, often violent, events was allegation of external forces which wanted to provoke a civil war among blacks & whites of South Africa. This while South Africa still, likely, had nuclear weapons. The Apartheid government has since dismantled it's nuclear weapons, doing so just before losing power to the "government of national unity". How would this racial civil war play out today? And what would be the result if a war against black & white happened in South Africa?  2021 July Unrest racial altercation. • Firstly, Boer militias would want to keep strongholds in cities & towns but would most likely be overpowered by numbers & guerrilla tactics of the majority black group of South Africa.  • External (overseas) support for the white cause may arrive in personell & arms (i. e. drones, high-tech rifles ...
