You shouldn't rest your case you need to educate yourself, while recent governments haven't made it easy you cannot expect a 46 year old system which fundamentally corrupted any foundation for economic and social equality to be resolved in 26 years. The damage that was done in those 46 years has far reaching consequences that may take over a century to resolve.

And that is just economically, never mind the fact that there is a bunch of fucknuts walking around the country saying things were better in the old days when majority of the population had no access to the housing, schooling or utilities that the rest did. Take race out of it and it is still inequality no matter how you sugarcoat it.

Yes I'm living in the UK now but I can tell you the hardest lesson I learnt is that the privilege that came with not being in the majority in South Africa dissipates very quickly when you are thrown into global arena. I don't understand how people can't comprehend that you couldn't expect an economy that at the time catered for 5 million people to all of a sudden cater for an extra 35 million. the economy has contracted ever since not only in SA but globally. What you had pre-1994 was a dysfunctional utopia that all South Africans unfortunately believe is the benchmark for the future.

And lets not forget that R339 billion was stolen from 1976 to 1994 so before you lambaste these guys go and ask your heroes to 'pay back the money with interest..'

Anything proven in a court of law, or just social media justice?

Did you even bother to read the article. Or is it just a kneejerk reaction because God forbid your heroes weren't corrupt in any form or manner right?

About the same as the current government will get with Zuma. I genuinely don't know, but if you read some of the books detailing the 'transition' period it's not hard to believe that this happened. In teh end both the ANC and the broderbond were bedmates in all of this. Everyone is fighting with each other while both these factions laughed all the way to the bank.

The wall fell in 1991, SA became unified in1994, which has a better economy law and order, healthcare etc etc, or do you think SA will catch up to Germany?
