The Descent of South Africa – With Rob Hersov

by Richard Eldred
10 March 2025 9:00 AM

Welcome to this Special Episode of the Sceptic, with South African businessman Rob Hersov.

Speaking at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) Conference, host Laurie Wastell and Rob discuss the history and decline of post-apartheid South Africa, the corruption of the ruling ANC, its chilling “expropriation without compensation” laws, the impact of Trump and Musk’s attention to South Africa, why its policy of “Black Economic Empowerment” is like DEI on steroids, the far-Left parties who chant “Kill the Boer” and why Western liberal media refuses to admit what a basket case South Africa has become.

The left-wing cannot admit SA is a basket case because that would mean admitting that black people are incompetent and that there might actually be truth in the science of IQ.

Not a country ever visited, but superficially at distance…

…Greatest concentration of mineral deposits on the planet, yet shanty towns, energy brownouts, and now inverse apartheid and confiscation of assets.

So much for the heirs to Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Tutu and the handover of power by F. W. De Klerk. Bad deeds do have a nasty habit of outlasting fine ideals.

Tutu said of the ANC, that they promised to stop the gravy train, and they did just long enough to climb aboard. This is what the ‘tax the rich’ mob don’t get. In order to give more money to the poor and oppressed, you need the millionaires and billionaires. People who are poor and oppressed have no idea how to create wealth other than by taking it from someone else. Thats why they are poor. Jeff Bezos, through Amazon, employs 1.5m people, Thats 1.5m mortgages paid and 1.5m families supported. Why do we care if he’s buying a bigger yacht.?

Agreed. How else did the developed world advance from medieval feudalism and squalor during the last 4 centuries, other than by wealth creation and distribution, usually derived from exploiting natural resources, technical advance and human ingenuity?

Marxists just don’t accept the evidence of history that wealth isn’t a zero-sum game. They don’t accept that energy generation isn’t a zero-sum game either – hence the folly and fanaticism of net zeroism.

I hear working in Amazon is like Big Brother. There was a documentary a while back but can’t remember the name. Wasn’t Bezos at the WEF, G20 & Climate conferences?

Yipee. Yet another Zimbabwe. I wonder what the two countries have in common. Can you guess?

Very sad. South Africa used to be an amazing place to visit. Unfortunately, corruption is a human trait which is especially prevalent among politicians, also in the northern hemisphere. Imagine the outrage if a white politician in the West addressed his supporters filling a football stadium saying they should kill a black man every day. And why has there been no outrage here at precisely that happening in SA, albeit a black man telling his supporters to kill whites? I hope they can find their ‘Milei’ to turn the situation around.

Got a mate from SA funny guy, the term ‘stupid’ has another meaning to what we mean in the UK. His father lives in Johannesburg in a white neighbourhood that has armed guard. How long before we need the same here. At least with the dinghy divers roaming through sleepy, wealthy villages harassing people to charge their phone, it will hopefully start making things very uncomfortable for middle England in order to wake them up.

There are still a great many white people who have no option but to live in Johannesburg in gated communities which have armed guards. Neither do a great many whites in general in South Africa have any option but to remain. So your comment about ‘stupid’ I’m afraid is stupid in itself.

I thought Musk’s speaking up to the world about the murders of white farmers in South Africa was brilliant, and hope it will save lives in the future.

The fall of SA started in 1994, when the ANC (black party) took over, after an election. Fair enough.
The ‘elites’ of the ANC appointed their own, ignoring and avoiding the military wings, those who ‘fought’ the civil war with their own hands!
The elites started enriching themselves, awarding their family and friends and stooges (they must be black, you remember?) with contracts and plummy jobs.
The military ANC members are fed up and wanted a slice of the pie too, but couldn’t.
So they resorted to the only skill they knew – guns!
That’s how carjacking, burglaries, robberies, you name it, started in SA.
So, for the DEI promoters of this world, please be aware that history will teach you a thing or two.

The other input is, the two richest men in Africa are white. Don’t blame them because they are clever and very very well connected. The 3rd, probably, richest man is black, but he was very clever when he saw an opportunity in the early days, to acquire a mine for nothing, and built it up. Obv very well connected too.
As the Chinese have been saying for centuries – it is not your brain that counts, it is ‘connection’ – quanxi.

The two richest men in South Africa are indeed white: Nicky Oppenheimer and Johann Rupert whose families made huge fortunes. They are not, however, the two richest in Africa as a whole. Interestingly Rob Hersov, whose grandfather founded the mining company AngloVaal is also a billionaire. While he has chosen to stay in SA he can, of course, afford to leave at any time, travel abroad whenever he wants, and so on.

As an ex-pat South African, now living here in the UK, and with close family still in SA, I can only agree with Rob Hersov almost entirely. A couple of points though: South African Coloureds are not simply a mix of blacks and whites. They’re a mix from often hundreds of years back of Koi San, Malays, Bantu and whites. This is why they are still classed as a distinct racial group. Also Rob gives the impression that all was going swimmingly under Thabo Mbeki. He forgets that Mbeki was an AIDS denier and a supporter of Robert Mugabe. The writing really was on the wall before Zuma came to power.
