Mugabe didn`t beat me at all and I thankfully never have or never will live in Africa. Plenty of Africans are starving in Zimbabwe and the only preventing even worse starvation is tons of foreign agricultural aid into Africa. Nobody bothers the white in Zimbabwe? Do you honestly believe such Mugabe propaganda? Whites have been beat up and threatened for decades, perhaps that is the reason there is less than 500 white owned farms left in the former breadbasket of Africa.

Apartheid South Africa was such a bizarre society. You look at images like these, and it looks like a scene from Europe, or America. But then you remember that these people - the ones who held all the political power at that time - were less than 10% of the total population.

You should make a video on it! In those times whites were closer to 20% of the population, but still it's pretty strange to look at this. Even today some parts of cities remain mostly white, though it has been changing. That society was interesting in other ways too, even among the white minority there was the Afrikaner-English divide, which didn't like each other a lot of the time. The Afrikaners were a slight majority so they pretty much ran things, as you can see on the Dutch-looking flag and Afrikaner-centric anthem of the time. And their international isolation led to other interesting things, like secretly developing nuclear weapons (probably working with Israel), and then getting rid of them because they didn't trust the post-apartheid government with them.

@@nickmagee-brown739 I can see why one might think that, but if it had really "worked", the standard of living for everyone would have risen such that there wouldn't be rampant poverty and violence in it's wake. That is the objective of western capitalist societies, stability through self interest with everyone having a stake in it, responsible for and owning their own success. There was no shortage of resources there. Apartheid only improved things for some, and not enough for the majority, so no, it didn't "work". It just controlled people by oppressing them, and it's left terrible psychological scars that South Africans are still paying for.

@@themudpit621 How exactly do you "oppress" some one (a majority, no less) if you hand them their freedom on a silver platter and embroiden it with gold lacings and fill it up with the fat of the land. The Afrikaner people was also "oppressed" by the mighty British Empire while the world looked on. Along with each and every other indigenous nation in Southern Africa, including the mighty Zulu nation. The Afrikaner nation did not subdue or subject one single tribe or nation in South Africa. All these nations were all subjugated with brute force by the British Empire and forcefully amalgamated into one undesirable "Union" against their will. This "Union" was equally hated by white and blacks alike but became desirable after the British left for convenience sake. It was the Afrikaner who cast off the yoke of the British Empire and declared their freedom. The first thing that the "Apartheid" Government did after they claimed their freedom, was to DECLARE FREEDOM for each and every other indigenous black nation and tribe that was subjugated by the British and began to dismantle the British concoction of the "Union of South Africa", the little "empire within and EMPIRE" which the British created. Not only did the "Apartheid Government" grant these nations freedom, they also spent Trillions of ZAR currency in uplifting these peoples to "lead them to independence" building them infrastructure, industries and giving them back their land and their dignity (which the British took from them). So, how exactly is that "oppressing them"..!!!?? No one in history ever did the same for the Afrikaner people..! No one ever declared freedom for the Afrikaner in the same way which the Afrikaner did for every nation and tribe "oppressed" by the British Empire. And no one ever did what the Afrikaner did to uplift these peoples in "leading them to independence". What did the British do for Swaziland and Lesotho when they handed them their freedom and independence? Did they spent a single Pence to help them stand on their own feet (like the Afrikaner did to the other nations they liberated from the British)???? Before you make sweeping statements, please find out first whether it has any truth in it!

While I do not support the apartheid regime, I hate what the African National Congress has done to South Africa. They were elected in 1994 on a left-wing democratic socialist platform with nationalisation of key industries and wealth distribution on the agenda, to make a fairer, more equal country, but didn't do any of this and adopted right-wing neoliberalism instead; betraying all those who voted for them. Instead, a black elite has been created and has saw a reverse apartheid state created with murders of white farmers on the rise and worsened social inequality. Life expectancy has declined, murders have skyrocketed since 1994, record numbers of whites have left the country, a broken justice system and is now one of the most dangerous places to visit. I support the idea of all races living together in peace, but think the ANC needs to go.

Thank goodness they did not go for full blown left-wing socialism. It's amazing that people could still believe in socialism after the 20th century. Socialism punishes achievement and rewards failure. No wonder it destroys economies. The inequality in South Africa is the result of socialist policies like minimum wage policies. I'm all for subsidized education, though, because we do have a huge legacy to overcome. However, Equality needs to refer to opportunities, not outcomes. The more you focus on outcomes, the more you kill the goose that lay the golden eggs. It is not the place of the state to build houses for people and give them grants - especially not in a state where only a minority pay taxes. People need to be encouraged to better them self through affordable education and find decent jobs so that they can contribute to society, not become dependant on the state and be a drain on the economy.

A referendum on ending apartheid was held in South Africa on 17 March 1992. The referendum was limited to white South African voters,[1][2] who were asked whether or not they supported the negotiated reforms begun by State President F. W. de Klerk two years earlier, in which he proposed to end the apartheid system that had been implemented since 1948. The result of the election was a large victory for the "yes" side, which ultimately resulted in apartheid being lifted. Universal suffrage was introduced two years later.

Then again, if the reforms had, as a result, not continued, then the country's economy would have still continued to go down due to sanctions. In the late 1980's the outside world was so hostile towards South Africa. Yet, there were countries, like elsewhere in Africa, with far worse atrocities. But, that didn't mean much, or anything, to the outside world. And, the two countries who picked on South Africa the most, were the two countries who had the most to hide, namely the USA and Australia.

If you don't understand white privilege then you've just watched it. Imagine having to have a whole referendum to give human beings basic human rights. White folk are really a special kind of species. Anyone who yearns for the "perfect" days of Apartheid honestly needs to revisit their thinking. SA in 2020 is not perfect, far from the utopia we all dream of, but to yearn for the days of Apartheid is sick.

The context though was that the South African State and economy were beginning to take severe strain financially. Large fiscal deficits, shortage of forex, low growth and risks of default in one area. I recall even as a child that certain components, luxuries and media were becoming scarce. In the other respects, demographics and urbanisation were also unrelenting, hence why the Nats gave up on restricting access to white areas a few years prior. Social unrest was also growing and the Cold War threat of Soviet communism was no longer an acceptable excuse to avoid further heavy sanctions from the West. I recall that the IMF did manage to open some ANC eyes to the folly of their desires to both nationalise companies and collectivise savings, forex and State/parastatal funds. Specifically, by showing them how fast the money would run out and the country would be left with a forex reserve crisis, big fiscal deficits, high inflation (money printing) resource shortages and debt defaults locally and internationally, ultimately leading to food and employment crises. Apparently there was an important loan made to bridge the financial gap. One cynical but perhaps realistic comment was that the reality on the ground made the non-violent transfer of power to Black South Africa necessary for White South Africa to avoid being brutalised in a civil war. It simply had to be done and the ‘verligtes’ in the Nats knew it. The outside world would otherwise merely have said White South Africa deserved what it got.

@@eisbeinGermany i agree that the country was thriving like that of a developed nation. However is it fair that only one race benefited whilst the others suffered?

Make no mistake, apartheid was wrong, and it was absolutely necessary that it end. Nonetheless, it's sad the way post-apartheid South Africa went. It seems that one variety of one-party state was merely swapped with another. Now, the ANC has more or less absolute control for the foreseeable future, and it seems intent on running the country into the ground. What SA really needs is a strong multi-racial, multi-party system, one in which political ideals take precedence over "voting ones race." At the end of the day, SA is just more evidence that identity politics are inherently destructive for all involved.

Not everything is doom and gloom in South Africa, despite what some people would have us believe...but where we are getting it wrong, we need to admit it and understand that we are getting it SERIOUSLY wrong. Remember, this was the day white South Africa found their collective conscience and voted to move forward into a united country. We need to remember this sometimes I think.
