NO, the ANC did not come to its senses. What has happened is DeBeers gave them a HEAVY DOSE of reality when the law also threatened their land. You know all the Diamond mines! I have been on Skype most of the day talking to friends still there.

Most do not know that between S. Africa and Namibia/Angola that 80% of the worlds top five strategic mineral reserves are located there. One of which is Chromium which is vital for making ANY sort of stainless steel. Diamonds only make it because they are needed to make diamond tipped drill bits. Rings and other diamond jewelry on make up 1% of the diamond output. The mineral mines are still the property of folks that will not think twice getting their governments to send troop there to protect their property.
