You know, I may be sticking my neck out here but my guess is the people you know from South Africa wouldn't pass your "Naturally-born" South African test!

To be fair, neither do the two close friends I have who still live in Pretoria. They were appalled by Zuma's corruption and rejoiced when he left power. They were complementary about Ramphosa's desire to return the ANC to some semblance of democratic norms. Like all corrupt populists (think Netanyahu, Trump) Zuma acquired a band of fierce loyalists so when justice starts to be served inevitably tensions boil up. In a land where unemployment and poverty levels are so high history suggests that opportunists will use this to go burning and looting.

I'm sure if Bibi or Donald go down it will be down to dark forces though!
