Will South Africa Be Boycotted Again?

I am old enough to remember when South Africa was the target of boycotts and sanctions for its apartheid policy. Apartheid is defined as:

(in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.​

Now the worm has turned 180 degrees:

South Africa facing 'mass STARVATION and RIOTS' after white people's land seized

which says:

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa recently announced plans to allow white people's land to be taken without compensation.

It will then be distributed to black people in a move Ramaphosa said will be good for the economy.​

Looks like the same old apartheid with whites now the victims of blacks. Of course the whites relinquished their system of apartheid with guarantees from blacks that there would not be a repeat of what happened in Rhodesia. And here's how well all that worked in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe:

Mugabe is asking back the white farmers he chased away

The former Rhodesia had a thriving agricultural economy, now they are frequently found to be starving to death.

The question, how will the world respond to the South African move? I suspect there will be little done.

Went to school with two brothers (white) who live in SA... they spoke of how things would turn out then... has taken about 20 years to come about... but they were correct

I don't care the color... but stupid ideas are followed by the results of stupid ideas... and then over time, we teach how successful those stupid ideas can be...

Same thing happened to land owners (farmers) in Russia and China... we have all the case studies we need...
