Good interview.

So what's JZ (the Prez not the rapper) gonna do? He is in a difficult spot.

For those of you who are not up to speed, Eugene Terreblanche, a prominent slave master white supremacist was killed by several of his black South African slaves workers. Some worry that the murder will lead to a race war. The interview covers this issue along with a range of additional SA topics. Also of note, the South African scholar, Prof. Habib, basically co-signs Winnie Mandela's (alleged) claim that Nelson Mandela made a bad deal for black South Africans. I disagree with his characterization that "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer" is merely a "silly song." It obviously speaks to the frustration of some black South Africans. (Whilst some Boers say it is evidence of a genocidal plot to eliminate white South Africans.)
