Those who complained about facilities for black people being appalling during the 80s under the apartheid government are very quiet on the lack of facilities under the ANC regime.
Well considering the black majority was systematically hunted, killed, and psychologically beat down and broken over several generations, so of course they're going to break, burn, and steal stuff. That's a causation from prior racist treatment, and exclusion from progressing up the socio-economic-politicot ladder.
Good and rare record. The heyday of South Africa's segregationist regime was in the 1960s and 1970s. And with an economic boom that benefited the whole country, the ENTIRE country, again. However, after the fall of friendly countries such as Mozambique and Rhodesia, in addition to the end of the gold-dollar standard in the international monetary system in 1971, the country's economy was severely affected and did not return to the excellent performance of before, entering a chronic crisis. in the 80s. Not to mention the definitive spike in oil prices, which South Africa has always been dependent on. Therefore, it would no longer be possible to maintain a police state for so long, with defense spending growing exponentially, as well as the weight of international sanctions. In this regard, the end of the USSR in 1991 helped a lot to make the transition to post-apartheid without a civil war possible in the AFR. From the South and beyond, Namibia can be saved by giving it independence without it falling as it was with Angola and Zimbabwe for example. May the Boer country rise again and become a land of prosperity.
It's possible when all corruptions are jailed for life and everything they own is confiscated. Regardless what color. And the respective lawsuits must not take 10 years and more, as with the "state-capture" one right now. Swift justice is required.
Ya what were those black players doing under the black coach Alistair Coetzee afew months previously? What did Rassie change? Funny you don’t mention that
Bom e raro registro. O auge do regime segregacionista da África do Sul foi nos anos 60 e 70. E com um boom econômico que beneficiou todo o país, TODO o país, repetindo. No entanto após a queda de países amigos como Moçambique e Rhodesia, além do fim do padrão ouro-dolar no sistema monetário internacional em 1971, a economia do país foi severamente atingida e não voltou a ter o ótimo desempenho de antes, entrando em crise crônica nos anos 80. Sem contar a disparada definitiva dos preços do petróleo, que a África do Sul sempre foi dependente. Logo, não seria mais possível manter um estado policial por tanto tempo, com gastos em defesa crescendo exponencialmente, bem como o peso das sanções internacionais. Nisso, o fim da Urss em 1991 ajudou e muito pra que a transição para o pós-apartheid sem uma guerra civil fosse possível na Afr. Do Sul e além disso, pode se salvar a Namibia dando lhe independência sem a mesma cair como foi com Angola e Zimbabwe por ex. Que o país boer se reerga e volte a ser uma terra de prosperidade
The Church is the sad part. What they believed goes totally against what our FATHER says. It is becoz they thought themselves to be the chosen nation...little of the true truth...South Africa is the chosen nation...all 12 tribes together will be the hand of our FATHER to bring change world wide. ❤️🇿🇦
DO NOT INCLUDE ALL WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS IF YOU SAY THEY BELIEVE THEY WERE THE CHOSEN NATION!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A SMALL MINORITY THAT SAID/BELIEVE IT!!!!!! KNOW THE PEOPLES OF SOUTH AFRICA AND WHO / WHAT BELIEVE AND DO NOT BELIEVE. I AM WHITE AND THIS IS NOT MY BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Early 80s but magnificent reporting. You wonder how much it impacted as you did have cricket and rugby cuntservative types at the time demanding reintegration.
Under communism if fifty million people died they will not say this is a bad plan it just every sheep for himself and the most cruel guy get the most rewards and blame the guy that actually build the country
@@Neo_Rain146 of course YOU are not only insane and inhumane too. Corruption,crime etc are better than freedom? You are advocating for slavery, segregation and evil done by racists, bigots and bastards who thought themselves gods because of the colour of their skins? Am 100% sure there's crime and corruption wherever you are why don't you get enslaved as an example?
During apartheid africans were killed for fun and then buried in the backyard. It wasnt a problem, because these people didnt count. While on the other Hand the Anc spared the lives of people like Dr. Death or others from the special squads if they commited in the truth commission. I doubt that the chinese or indians would have done that.
I wonder what this Pommie reporter has to say now if he goes to the Carlton Hotel in the JHB CBD ? That's if he is brave enough to set foot in the Rainbow nations JHB CBD ! 😂
15.19 Bare in mind you didn’t sit in an African shop either. They would have told you to move on as well. Both being wrong. Why do you always take one side?
@@alphapen_dragon8554 The only blacks that were against apartheid were the blacks that were Communist and that were members of the ANC. Most of the blacks were happy and were ok with apartheid.
@@alphapen_dragon8554 Because they were hoodwinked by the Black Marxists especially the youth who didn't know any better. The country is a squalor just a cesspool apartheid was not good but it was better than this so called democratic rainbow nation.
It was far from stable as I remember, there was bloodshed in South Africa and even neighboring countries of South Africa due to the ugliness of the apartheid regime.
I am so glad that Apartheid is gone forever because now so many hungry people from the whole of Africa has found a home in South Africa where they can live and thrive. Black people grew from 11 million in the 60's apartheid era, to about 85 million in the freedom era. White people (Colonialists) reduced their numbers from less than 11 million in the 60's to less than 8 million in the Freedom era. The hunger, mismanagement, corruption ans crime is now much more wide-spread in South Africa than what it was in the 60's, bur Africa is now becoming Africa again.....which is a good thing. I always just wonder where all that gold which was mined from South Africa went to?
Im actually glad the crime and poverty is more "widespread", and not just something blacks have to deal with. i think it will give us an opportunity to understand each others pain. I was in pretoria recently and i gave a poor white guy some change at the robot. it felt good, he was real grateful. maybe in the next few years i'll be able to hire some white guys to cut my grass.
Colonial & indigenous S Africans were not both at equal population levels . It was more like 3-4 M whites to 15-20 M indigenous. Whites taking +85% of farm lands & a 350% rate of income compared to the indigenous at 67% the rate of income.
You did not do a lot of research before you did this documentary. Why did you not start this documentary by explaining to people that apartheid had it's beginning in the Dutch Reformed Church and that they enforsed it onto the government. You just revealed the side of black south africa without any reasons why it was so. This made me pissed off and your whole documentary is just a lot of shit.
@@nlocnil3602 you said that not me …..I said it looked like a nice place to live in the 80,s clean sunny why mention race did I….you leftie woke types find racism where it doesn’t exist
I would not, because I'm married to somebody not my color. I never had a girl-friend of my color, and never even considered marrying somebody of my color. I'm white, by the way. Nkosi sikelele iAfrica.
