The western world has stolen enough wealth from us.

That's a feeble victim mentality that you should consider re-evaluating. Not uncommon on the African continent and elsewhere (blaming colonialism etc), but it's obviously not as simple as that, and you know it.

Please don't take HN threads further into nationalistic flamewar. Last thing we want or need here.

The site guidelines explicitly ask you to avoid responding to flamebait with worse.

Nothing happening to the wealth of South African today is happening without explicit authorization by a political party that have had a legislative majority and/or super majority for almost 30 years. Pointing fingers at the west for what South Africans do to other South Africans won't fix any problems South Africa has.
