Odd usage of the term "South African native"? He's just simply South African.
Either way - he's spot on, this entire country has been crumbling since the mid 90's and the only thing keeping it from becoming another Zimbabwe or Somalia is the sheer momentum of the invested capital and the stubbornness of the productive individuals here. Many of which simply emigrate year after year, making the problem worse as the ratio of unproductive to productive grows greatly.
I've been watching it first hand since I moved here almost 2 decades ago. Unfortunately it's a very nice country, so much potential for year-round farming, so much solar, enterprising and self-sufficient populace, rich culture, etc, so it's sad to watch it become this way.
