This is a wonderful article. As a very old American, I remember much of what you outline here from the history of SA, but there is a lot that is happening now that is new to me. In the fog of Ukraine, Europe and China, SA goes to the back pages far too often. Thank you for writing such an extensive and enlightening piece.

Exemplary scholarship Chima. Thank you.

Apartheid South Africa Classifying Japanese as "honorary whites" has a touch of oxymoron. It's equivalent to classifying American or Australian imperial settlers as "honorary natives".

¡Wow! I think you forget to talk about south-african food, because all the other topics have been exposed. Amazing one, Chima; really good.

By the way, ¿how things are moving in Sahel with the "country rebels" against CEDEAO? That serie that you wrote was amazing too.

Thanks.

Burkina Faso and Mali are no longer part of CEDEAO/ECOWAS. I will write an article on the topic sometime in the future
