Neoliberalism and neo-fascism are two sides of the same coin. In the case of South Africa and Namibia they clearly mean neo-apartheid, crudely disguised as ‘free-market economy’.

Over twenty years ago, on 11 February 1990, South Africa’s retired president and Nobel Peace co-laureate, Nelson Mandela, left the colonial-apartheid prison of Victor Verster outside Cape Town. South Africans and the international West considered Mandela as the African messiah.

It is much clearer today in 2009 that every African country governed by a former popular black African struggle movement against Caucasian international Western colonialism, is under severe pressure.
