South Africa 2009

The BBC's southern African team is a white suprematist hate group [/grotesque exaggeration]. I wouldn't believe them almost anything. The population of South Africa is growing, though very marginally by African standards.

COPE is not much of a change, but I think it is symbolic for the fact that there is now a black opposition that isn't based on ethnic power.

We'll see about that once the results are in... I wouldn't be surprised if their strongholds end up explainable in terms of ethnicity.
