He was right all along, Botha was willing to do reforms, but not change to the situation that Zimbabwe turned to and SA is going down that way also

[@lonelyherzegovinawarrior153]

P.W. Botha was an egoist racist who wanted to make a 2nd confederacy. Quit trying to portray him a saint.

[@valeriorossi5035]

Racial segregation was morally wrong, but South africa now has become a dystopia. Especially after president Zuma's years. It is following the path of other failed states like Zimbabwe and Venezuela. Congratulations Anc.

[@bonanibob5657]

No racial segregation was the corrected and will forever be the solution to the ills of South Africa. Keeping the ethnicities seperate helped in preserving eacth tribe/ethnicities cultural norms and customs. After lumping people together under the guise of a rainbow nation was doomed to fail and it has failed.

@Thabo Sethipa The ANC inherited a first world country. Somebody is telling you lies. You are not talking fact. Far from it.

[@snowyvandyk7193]

@Thabo Sethipa Where do you get your info? 1.Free housing is what the ANC do with hard working tax payers money to win votes. They also use it to enrich them selves. Do you really think they care about black people? Wake up man. I believe that if you if get something for free, it has no value. You got to work for what you want. After all this things that the ANC has done for you in the last 25 years, why are there so many unhappy blacks? Mostly people under 50 that never experience the so called terrible Apartheid system. 2.You always blame Apartheid for everything. When is it going to stop? Must I hate blacks for what happened with Piet Retief? When can I blame all my problems on Zuma's 10 years of corruption and state capture? For the farm murders? By the way, I can't recall a single case where a white guy went and slaughtered a black farmer. There is always 2 sides to every story. You must look at it from both ways. The Apartheid system wasn't perfect, but way better than the current one. I was very liberal and my first vote was for Democracy in 1992, because I was taught a lot of lies. 3. At the height of Apartheid in 1978 Soweto had 115 Football fields, 3 Rugby fields, 4 athletic tracks, 11 Cricket fields, 2 Golf courses, 47 Tennis courts, 7 swimming pools built to Olympic standards, 5 Bowling alleys, 81 Netball fields, 39 children play parks, and countless civic halls, movie houses and clubhouses. In addition to this, Soweto had 300 churches, 365 schools, 2 Technical Colleges, 8 clinics, 63 child day care centres, 11 Post Offices, and its own fruit and vegetable market. There were 2300 registered companies that belonged to black businessmen, about 1000 private taxi companies. 3% of the 50,000 vehicle owners in 1978 were Mercedes Benz owners. Soweto alone had more cars, taxis, schools, churches and sport facilities than most independent countries in Africa. The Blacks of South Africa had more private vehicles than the entire white population of the USSR at the time. 4. I'm probably wasting my time telling you above. You obviously hate whites anyway and need to justify it. Talking about "mond vol kos", it is funny how so many Africans from other countries wanted to stay in SA during Apartheid. So much so that the military had to protect our borders. Before you reply, talk to your elders and get the truth. 5. Remember, the black people before Apartheid could not read or write, hence separate education. Read the Bantu education laws. I'll send you more info regarding this. Our country produced 200 black doctors a year during Apartheid. I think I'll stop here...hope to talk again soon Thabo.

[@snowyvandyk7193]

@Thabo Sethipa I apologized for to long. I was naive and hoped SA could work. Actually, after 1994 the race hate just got more and more due to radicals like the EFF, BLF and even the ANC (blaming whites for their own incompetence to run this country and everything else). If what you say is right, why fix wrong with wrong then. You go on about a few white on black killings, but ignore the thousands of black on black ANC/Inkatha killings. How is Sharpville any different from Marikana? Do you know how many black people died in Rwanda. Millions.How many black died in Apartheid? Before Apartheid the average life expectancy of a black person was 38. During Apartheid, it went up to 64, higher than anywhere else in Africa. What is that worth to you? Let me ask you, has the whites done anything good in your books? Do you know of one good white person? Lastly, I was raised by a single mom and not on a farm. I had to study hard and my mom made a loan for me to finish my studies. I lost everything in 2008, but had to work hard to get where I am today, although I cant get a job, because of BEE. The fact is that you can give some people free property, but in a few months they will be broke again and live in a shack, while others will work their way up to become successful without help. You somehow don't believe black people are capable and want to give them free stuff. Doesn't work that way.
