Thank you for reading the comments and realising your error. Please note as Coloured South Africans we find the term Mixed race to be offensive. Why? Because it erases our history. Coloured South Africans are specifically decendants of Slaves, indiginous Khoisan, Europeans and Asians. We are "mixed" but we have created our own language and culture over the past 300 years, in Latin America these people are called all kinds of things but you would never call them mixed race. Here we are called Coloured. Trevor Noah for example is an actual mixed race South African(white father and Black mother) but he is not considered to be Coloured because Coloureds are a cultural group that is distinct from white, black and Indian South Africans. Many Coloured South Africans felt the brunt of Apartheid because many were racially ambigious and people from the same family could easily pass for white while other looked more black or Indian but because of the cultural aspect no one in South Africa really gets confused by what a Coloured person is.

Whoa already at 1:55 I have to correct you...the slave underclass of the Boers weren't really native Africans, at least from the Cape...they were a mix of slaves brought from the Dutch East Indies, black slaves of the Portuguese taken from other parts of Africa and captured by the Dutch on Portuguese slave ships, and a few native KhoiKhoi and San...hence their descendants called ''coloureds'' can also be known as ''Cape Malay''. You are going to take some flak from South African coloureds for implying that the term ''coloured'' is somehow offensive. Whilst this may be the case in the US, it certainly isn't in SA, and South African coloureds are very proud of being classified as such and will be offended by the implication that this term, which they themselves use with pride, is itself offensive.

Regarding your question some things have improved vastly and some things have remained as bad as under Apartheid. The economy expanded 3 fold since Apartheid ended, several million blacks have entered the middle class, the government build hundreds of thousands of low cost housing and of course people have equal rights and dignity not being denigrated in their own country or having their movement restricted. However much of the inequality created by Apartheid remains: most business owners and educated professionals are white, most working class people are black. Government corruption is a major obstacle to correcting these inequalities and is causing South Africa's electricity infrastructure to fail. People are now frustrated not having tasted all the fruits of the end of Apartheid leading to political polarisation.

Something else that is interesting, during ww2 some of the Muslim leaders in the Middle-East like Saudi Arabian ruler Ibn Saud and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, had Cooperative political and military relationships with Germany. They shared hostilities toward common enemies, such as the United Kingdom and the French Third Republic, along with communism, and Zionism. Another key foundation of this collaboration was the anti-Semitism of the Nazis and their hostility towards the United Kingdom and France, which was admired by Arab and Muslim leaders, most notably the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini.

The narrative around Gandhi's racism towards africans entirely revolves around statements he'd made early in his life when he first came to work in South Africa, which ignores the fact that he had completely changed as a person through the course of his time in South Africa. He was on friendly terms with prominent black figures, and publicly supported their efforts in his newspaper. Gandhi actively supported the struggle of Africans to get equal rights by the late 20s and even supported combining the efforts of Indians and Africans in South Africa later on in his life. So SAIC working with ANC was something he intended on happening.

What's rather ironic, is that in its' early years (~1850s), the Cape Colony was one of the first European-ruled territories in the world to include a voting franchise that didn't have any restrictions on the basis of race, and one of the first to ostensibly rule that the law should not discriminate on the basis of race. Wild they went from that, to eventually becoming the very historical model of an arch-white-supremacist state - to the extent that their system gave its very name to the general concept of racial segregation and subjugation in its most extreme form - and clinging to overt institutional white supremacism for decades longer than just about any other polity.

Do you really think you can explain South Africa's 372 year history in 20 minutes ? If you do you are making a big mistake. South Africa was under British rule for 166 years from 1795 to 1961. Why did the English came to South Afica and what did they want. The boers wasn't the only people invovlved in a war with the British. What about the Americans and for that matter the rest of the world as well. Everybody just tried to get away from British rule. Why do you think Apartheid came about. After what the British did to them in both boer wars and what the boers suffered at the hands of the black tribes they came across when they decided to leave the Cape and British rule behind, it was an attempt to keep themselves save from harm. Nevertheless never forget the fact that many South Africans, as well as other commonwealth forces, also served in both world wars, with distinction I may add. The ugly word, Apartheid, was not invented by the boers, it was inherited from British Rule. Do you think the British treated them better than the black peoples of South Africa ? The Afrikaans language of the boers was known as a "kitchen language" and was only recognised as an "official" language in 1932. While white South Africans today are made out to be racists they don't complain, because they never have. All being said we are a God fearing nation and will keep on doing so. In the video I have watched you basically just touched certain points, maybe of interest, but what can you do in 20 minutes. Good luck with your next video. It will probably be the sad story of what little is left of South Africa after the "glorious" rule of the ANC. Good luck.

Should be noted that the Bantu/Zulus were themselves not indigenous to SA. In fact, they were conquering Northern SA at the exact same time the Boer's were trekking north. The Zulu invasion was actually stopped by the trekkers in a short war. The only indigenous Africans in SA were/are the Khoisan bushmen, who were very small in number and who were being massacred by the incoming Bantu tribe of the Zulu. If the Boers hadnt checked the invasion of the Zulu, they may have been wiped out ifrom Northern SA. So the majority of Blacks in SA today are just as much newcomers as the whites. And most immigrated to SA over time, since after the end of the zulu wars, looking for work.

During apartheid, black population numbers increased from +_ 10 million in 1902 to +_40 million in 1994. In Australia, the number of Aborigines in Australia declined by 84% from 1778 (when he British arrived) to 1900. How that happened would make an interesting video, then you can add the dramatic music you used in this video to emphasize the evilness (boosheid) of apartheid. Also kindly note that the best black leaders like Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu etc, were educated under Apartness in Apartness schools and Apartness universities. Robert Mugabe also got a degree in SA, but then studied in London (London University), and that ended in tragedy and misery for Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Black education during Apartness was second to none, and black people could study anything, and they did. After 1994 black education standards were dropped significantly, and passing rates lowered to 30%. People are still taught in English, as there are no handbooks available in indigenous languase, almost 30 years after the ANC became the government. The ANC governmen, in 30 years, has not built one school with a proper gym and libray and sporting facilities. NONE. Currently 47% of black people are jobless, while during Apartness, black people immigrated from Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland for better life opportunities. I just want to point out that during Apartness black people lived on +_ 10 % of land in SA, but currently it is less. The Bantu homelands were measured into farms by the British, but demarcated as homelands. After Apartheid that "protection" disappeared, and anybody can buy them now---and they are being bought by people from Europe (Britain, Netherlands and France) and white South Africans. Zululand, the homeland of the great Zulu Nation, has all but disappeared, and that is a great tragedy. Unexpectedly, it seems Apartness (Apartheid) had a few advantages for black people after all. Lastly I just want to point out that South Africa was a Union under the British untill 1960 when it became a Republic, and the head of state was the British Monarch. The North West province (of SA) specifically is a handbook example how the British colonised land and subjected and opressed black people. That area was the Royal Crown Colony untill 1895 (Not to be confused with the Royal Bechuanaland Protectorate, which became Botswana). Any accusations of racial oppression must in this case be referred to the British.
