Lyth Crowe retweetet

In the memoirs of the late Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, @CyrilRamaphosa is quoted as saying during the 1990's negotiations:
"In his brutal honesty, Ramaphosa told me of the ANC's 25-year strategy to deal with the whites. It would be like boiling a frog alive, which is done by raising the temperature very slowly. Being cold-blooded, the frog does not notice the slow temperature increase, but if the temperature is raised suddenly, the frog will jump out of the water. He meant that the Black majority would pass laws transferring wealth, land, and economic power from White to Black slowly and incrementally."
Over three decades later, in 2025, many in South Africa's White minority see this gradual approach in action; persistent B-BBEE policies restricting job and business opportunities, affirmative action reshaping institutions, the new Expropriation Act allowing for nil compensation, cultural and language erasure, 145 anti-white race laws, and farm attacks.
The frog adapts to the warming water until it's too late. For South Africa's White minority, now less than 7% of the population, facing emigration and economic marginalisation, is the pot already boiling? Time to jump?
