My Comment: If your gets the flu (Zimbabwe), expect to get the flu also. The ANC has been ruling South Africa since the nineties. Even with a boom in its resource sector, it still cannot meet the needs of its poorest citizens. Throw in the incredible spread of AIDS in the country, the crime, and tribal tensions ..... always tribal tensions in Africa .... you then the environment in which people just explode.

The military will be controlling the situation in the next few days, but the damage and harm has already been done. And this is the country that will be hosting the World Cup in 2010?
