U.S. Says ‘No More Money' for South Africa

President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio’s expulsion this week from the United States of the South African ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, is another delightful wringing down of the curtain on a long era of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil hypocrisy of the West. Despite the well-earned and widespread admiration for Nelson Mandela and the general revulsion at the apartheid system, post-apartheid South Africa has been a disaster, not only in misgovernment and corruption, but in repeated and unctuous assaults upon the civil rights of minorities, particularly the whites who built the country but not confined to them.
