In an interview with TRT World News published this week, Malema said, "We have not called for the killing of white people. At least for now. I can't guarantee the future."

When the reporter mentioned that some people might view these remarks as a call to genocide, Malema responded, "Crybabies. Crybabies," but later warned white South Africans that "the masses are on board" for "an un-led revolution and anarchy".

Malema is a prominent politician in South Africa and at the forefront of his country's movement to confiscate land from white property owners and redistribute it to the country's black population.

No actual specifics about the plan have been revealed, of course.

So even if someone thinks this land grab is social justice, it's at least reasonable to acknowledge the massive corruption that plagues South Africa's government.

And presuming that a multi-billion dollar expropriation wouldn't be fraught with graft is just plain naive.

There has also been zero acknowledgement that forced exprorpriation of private property would cause a wave of defaults on real estate mortgages, triggering a massive banking crisis and unforgiving recession.
