They listen to commentators discuss whether AIDS is the solution to "the problem of black population growth." They call in to defend white separatists accused of plotting to topple the black government. Many hearts soar when political analysts contemplate reclaiming South Africa, or at least a portion of it, for white Afrikaners.

This is Radio Pretoria, where apartheid is still revered and the white man reigns supreme. While this country often promotes its multicultural identity, this radio station steadfastly opposes it, with white station managers groaning openly at the surge in racial intermingling since white rule ended in 1994.

I think it was meant as a joke. Though joking seems out of context given the subject matter.
