Funny because:

1. the Boers fought the British for control of South Africa (Anglo-Boer War).

2. World War 1 and World War 2 (white conflict in Europe).

3. NATO Organisation still dealing with outbreaks of tensions between white countries in Europe.

So, why exactly are you praising Botha?

I am not praising botha. I am simply referring to a statement he made. Why will a group of people choose to release hardened criminals back into their society to aggravate law and order.

The best guess is that the gunmen are part of the same gang as some of the prisoners.

Prison escapes and interceptions happen all over the world, that's why police trucks move around in convoys and high security. It's got nothing to do with being black, it's a global problem - and Hollywood makes films about prison breaks and heists all the time. I'm just annoyed you had to make it an African issue.
