In the stores in places like Zambia Naipaul found huge quantities of South African goods.

I also remember reading how during the 70s Julius Nyerere, Tanzanian prez and socialist heartthrob of all right-thinking tiers-mondialistes, calmed a food riot in Dar es-Salaam by promising to import grain, from South Africa.

These boycotts and divestments and similar are for patsy Western liberals/lefties. The people in the countries involved are much more hard-headed.
