Jan Smuts must be spinning in his grave.
If the South Americans decide to gang up against us (OK, Chavez is dead), our only friend in the South Atlantic is likely to be South Africa. If anything nasty happens to the Suez Canal or the Gulf, the Cape of Good Hope becomes rather important. A weak South Africa isn't in our best interests. There again, neither is a corrupt one but there's bugger all we can do about that. De Klerk and Botha weren't angels but they never sought parity with Zim.
