Dr. Roy Casagranda covers the history of Apartheid in South Africa.
This talk is dedicated to Nelson Mandela and is released on the tenth anniversary of his death.
Can a state be a democracy if it excludes a large segment or even the majority of it's population from citizenship? From the right to vote?

Having lived under Apartheid and the 'new' South Africa from black townships to white areas. Here is the hard cold fact. South Africa today is a BIGGER mess than during Apartheid for people of all races. Black townships in rural areas are un-kept, worse and more unsafe. South Africa has close to 1 million people murdered since the end of Apartheid, more than some countries at war! It is aptly called the murder and rape capital of the world. It also has more racist laws than during Apartheid, supposedly to 'help' black people, except it's looking after a small group in government. Unemployment and poverty is sky rocketing. Taking all these points which can be easily checked it's quite clear why the 'anti-Apartheid' stories need to be dug out from 30 years ago, because the current mess is too much of an embarrassment.

Stand outs for me from this talk: 1. The overhauling of the senate to push through apartheid laws in the 50s - carbon copy happening in Israel today 2. The nuclear war heads created by the apartheid regime with Israel to use if the need arose. Had things went that way, I wouldn't be here today ..... that is wild to even give thought to!

You will, if you want an unbiased historical view. He selectively presents certain historical facts while ignoring others with a view to presenting the West as a uniquely malign force. In this lecture e.g. he mentions the Dutch colonising the Cape area while convieniently leaving out that at the exact same time African tribes esp the Zulu were migrating south ethnically cleansing the pre-exisiting populations in the areas they settled or "colonised" if you like. Bantu populations are no more indiginous to Southern Africa that the Dutch settlers, both settled the land at same time.

As a South African, best interpretation I have seen, just one important error and one omission, which has been important and different to any post segregation country globally. 70% of South Africa's land is owned by government. It is important to discuss affirmative action in South Africa today, which means that any company with 51 or more people has to be 51% Black owned and the fastest growing demographic is the middle class Black today. A far cry from the American solution, I use the term solution very losely.

They have this thing where they constantly try fish for relevancy as a freedom fighter, the struggle, when that hasnt been the case for the better part of 29 years.

@AndrewJFO 5 ай бұрын

I'm about 25 minutes in, and while I have to acknowledge care and attention to detail, there are a few key historical inaccuracies that should be noted. First, the establishment of the Boer Republics in the interior weren't actually as violent as suggested, at least not for the Orange Free State or the South African Republic; Natalia - certainly, violent clashes with the Zulu are a main theme and why it was so short-lived. The curious reality of it, is that while the interior certainly showed evidence of widespread settlement in the past, the territory was largely empty and the establishment of the republics was remarkable for their lack of bloodshed. The early Boers mostly had favourable relations with the Basotho, Tswana and Ndebele (local Matabele). The next key point is the Cape Coloured, you've characterised them as a product of the mingling of the Xhoe-Xhoen (and Namaqua and Nama) and the Dutch settlers. While that certainly was true, you also should not disregard the influence of the Cape Malay component - the slaves transported from modern Indonesia and Malaysia. They are the reason for the notable presence of Islam in South Africa today, as well as their influence on the development of Afrikaans as compared with Dutch and of course on the culinary tradition. Also, being a Cape Coloured isn't about being racially mixed, it's an identifiable ethnogroup with a distinct accent and rich culture.

That final point is so important. People have a tendency today to label any mixed person (especially white and black mixed) as coloured when the reality is as you've described. There is also significant xhosa admixture in the coloured racial pot. This has led to a situation where you can't distinguish a coloured person just from their complexion. Indeed, coloured complexions range all the way from being as pale as a white person to darker than some black people. Culture is the only determinant of whether someone is coloured or not. With the caveat that many people who would otherwise be identified as coloured choose to identify as black for a host of reasons related to apartheid and mutual struggle with black people, as of course is their right.

The border war was most definitely a war we won, as told in his book by Gen Jannie Geldenhuys, who ultimately negotiated the peace deal, too. His book: "Those who win," or "Die Wat Wen." For, he had promised the soldiers on the ground, in that unreported war, to tell their story. His book is so worthy of being read! The official English translation changed the title, for a wider readership, to "At the Front".

Thanks for your lecture as always it’s the best history lectures. I grew up in Cape Town and was at primary school at the height of the 80’s uprising. The Trojan Horse massacre happened quite close to where I lived. We heard how those boys had fled from the riot police and hid in surrounding homes. They were chased and killed by the riot police who dragged them out of the houses. They were kids. The Truth and Reconciliation was cathartic - we wanted peace we wanted to go forward with hearts at peace. Still a lot of inequality in South Africa but it’s my country and I love it.

I am absolutely appalled that a person of such high education can simply relay a historical lesson and end it off on a high note completely disregarding what has transpired since 1994 in South Africa. For starters I was a little "white" boy in primary school having told on a few instances to hide under my table at school because of bomb scares during the 1990's and only many years later was able to understand what was going on. Now an adult and a South African resident we still have the current government of Nelson Mandela who when having their first elections had one of their slogans "Vote Anc for Free Education and Housing for all". We all new that this was rubbish and utterly unattainable. The ANC has since been in power been corrupt and stealing and has not created free housing for all and have since stated that they realize that this is not achievable. They have also been guilty of such high corruption than most municipalities do not operate and we not have stable water and electricity supply. Less jobs have been created and although more opportunities have been given to African people the state of the country is in terrible shape. I am glad Apartheid is over but I am not happy that the world put sanctions on that raciest regime while not making the ANC accountable and current government accountable. Where is the concern now?? What is happening in South Africa currently is absolutely tragic and no international people give a damn about it. Perhaps I need to set myself on fire to get your attention.

Talking about hypocrisy, we muslims believe that hell has 7 levels, and it gets worse the lower the level. The lowest level of hell is reserved for hypocrites, the Pharoah of moses, and the people of the table (When Jesus PBUH asked for a table of food to be brought from heaven for his people to eat after fasting for 30 days, those who rejected Jesus after seeing this miracle with their own eyes are in the lowest level also). It's extremely important to be humble, always search for the truth, and use the same standard when judging anything, to not be classified as a hypocrite.

@@rubenjooste4383 Yes, but that means nothing. It does not mean that it's unfair. The impoverished blacks are underskilled in South Africa, even though they make up 81% of the population. The government has introduced policies to favour black employment over other races (and this is true racial inequality btw), but these policies have backfired because service delivery has dropped and corruption has increased amongst their ranks. Poverty and lack of education causes crime. Crime causes high walls. But the spirit of the country is strong and resilient. I think the issue of racism is taking a backseat now. People just want the country to go forward. But the uneducated, unemployed majority hold the key to the elections. Only 6 to 10% of the country pays 100% of the tax to run the country. The height of the walls mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's just objective homeowners protecting their homes and families against ANYONE who wants to intrude. Not just a specific race.
