South Africa's Ruling Elite Despoiling Their People

Is the South African ruling elite going the way of all ruling elites in post-colonial Africa? This outburst of rage against them by a trade union leader in the country seems to suggest so. If it is true that the South African ruling elites are getting rich on the sweat and blood of their own people, they will just be the latest example in the sad chapters unfolding in the life of the African postcolony. It will be a shame for the South African ruling elite to be robbing their own people when, during the apartheid years, these elites seemed to care so much about the oppressed of this same people.
