I'm just trying to get educated on this since I don't know anything about South Africa other than apartheid and Mandela.

I don’t know why folk here are so pessimistic. If the majority black population wage a guerilla war against these right wing groups attrition will decimate them quickly. Plus if they start genociding black folks it will galavanize surrounding nations to help the black insurgents. Hell the African Union might get involved. The way to beat them is simple. Constant supply of arms and using guerilla warfare tactics to attritite Afrikaner forces.
Executive Outcomes was directly involved militarily in Angola and Sierra Leone. The company was notable in its ability to provide all aspects of a highly trained modern army to the less professional government forces of Sierra Leone and Angola. For instance, in Sierra Leone, Executive Outcomes fielded not only professional fighting men, but armour and support aircraft such as one Mi-24 Hind and two Mi-8 Hip helicopters, the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle and T-72 main battle tank.[15] Note that these were the property of the client state and not Executive Outcomes itself.[16] It also possessed medevac capabilities to airlift the wounded out of combat zones via Boeing 727 D2-FLZ owned by Ibis Air. These were bought from sources in the worldwide arms trade within Africa as well as Eastern Europe.[17]
The aircraft were owned and operated by a separate partner company called Ibis Air which also owned MiG-23 "Flogger" fighters and a small fleet of PC-7 turbo-prop trainers converted for the recce and ground attack role (with the capability to fire SNEB air-to-ground rockets). Ibis Air also had the connections to operate MiG-27 "Flogger" strike aircraft and Su-25 "Frogfoot" close supportaircraft for EO that were loaned out via the Angolan Air Force.[18]
In March 1995, the company contained an insurrection of guerrillas known as the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone, regained control of the diamond fields, and forced a negotiated peace.[12] In both these instances they are credited with rescuing both governments against RUF and UNITA.
People have to remember that even though the White population in SA is relatively small, during Apartheid they got a lot of the work done fighting ANC, SWAPO, Angola etc. by using predominately Black troops directed by White officers. Especially some groups that hated surrounding Bantu like the San or the Lozi, who are Bantu but were predisposed to SA for a few reasons including trying to get their own state in the Caprivi strip of Namibia, did a lot of the fighting.
Same deal throughout African history from slavery to West Indians being used by the Brits to suppress the Ashanti and others.
If you don't think they will not reprise this model with the turncoat Blacks or even Coloureds you don't know the full history.
Only a small pct of black men have been in shootouts and those people have received no formal training and a lot of them are either in the grave or sitting behind bars
White men have a whole gun culture going on in rural areas. They get formally trained for fun, ask any southern nikka, they hunt for fun, they camp out in the wilderness for fun and they’re the majority who control all the resources. They’re far more war ready
They are ready to shoot, but not necessarily fight.
We'd have to get Hutu/Tutsi ish with it...machetes, scalping you name it. When the numbers are short, you gotta be extra bloody.
What are their numbers like
Seriously dude? Let's just face the facts @AuntAnniesPretzels mentioned, demographics, resources, and mental preparation will not be on our side in such a situation.
A large chunk of our population is in the south and surrounded by Bubbas from KentuckyIn the heartland no. But whites on the coasts ain't like Bubba in Kentucky.
If we lost, it'd be because the government pulled the ace card...not so much independent cacs.
