Amin's abrupt and clumsy seizures of the property of whites and other non-blacks for transfer to blacks had disastrous, entirely predictable consequences in Uganda.
The last king of Scotland was an ignorant, racist, superstitious criminal who made Mugabe look like an aristocrat.
In SA, the racial plundering fits in nicely with recent xenophobic violence and attacks on white institutions and public monuments, legacies of colonialism and white rule.
In SA, all the same, the racial plundering is more orderly and slower than in even Kenya, let alone Uganda.
Bankers dislike nationalization and blatantly kleptocratic seizures, as when estates or enterprises are taken from their owners to become the personal property of thieving officials or their relatives.
But when, as here, it's dressed up as "racial justice"?
