White SA, Black Zimbabwe-the similarities

If we, for a moment, could go back and analyse what is equal and what may separate the situation at hand in Zimbabwe today from that in white apartheid RSA in those days.

At a quick glance I can detect two significant differences, but do they disqualify the 1989 conclusions? It is "White" and "undemocratic" (then in RSA with the absence of "one man one vote"). Well, in Zimbabwe now it is "black" and "a mock democracy" (heavy rigging of elections, massive repression of opposition, a long list...).
