I agree. There was much too little focus on the rigid opposition to South Africa by the Stalinist bloc and the newly independent nations of Africa and Asia. Their rigid sanctions - a foreigner had to prove that he or she had never been to South Africa to get a visa and no trade was allowed whatsoever - acted as a major restraint upon the power of an extremely resource-rich nation as nothing else ever has. Support by the working classes of Europe of Communism further meant that their ruling classes could not support the apartheid regime as most wished. Even though those nations are resource-poor and dependent on South Africa for some essential minerals, they still did not support apartheid unconditionally. This meant that the apartheid regime was isolated politically like no other repressive regime in a resource-rich nation. It also meant that internal opposition, although entirely illegal, had enough foreign backing to draw attention and gradually increase foreign support thereof. Even conservative, culturally- and economically-allied Australia was opposing apartheid strongly by the 1980s, when such cricketers as Terry Alderman and Carl Rackemann were banned for three years for signing up to tour South Africa in 1985.

Fun fact De Klerk didn't do all these things out of the goodness of his heart. He knew that they couldn't go on like that because nobody in the world wanted to do business with South Africa and the economy was crashing. He thought about what he could do to make things better and released Nelson Mandela and he kept looking at little things he could do to get the world to do business with them again. So it wasn't that his heart was in the right place and suddenly decided apartheid was wrong he did it because there was something in it for him.

Would be nice to also see the history of the 'New' South Africa from 1994 to 2020. Good to see a quick mention of how the British implemented the first racial laws in 1910. A video on the history of PROPAGANDA and media control by governments and how that caues all sorts of suffering would also be valuable. It has caused the death of hundreds of millions of brain-washed peoples accross the world. South africa was fortunate not to see levels of conflict (and numbers of deaths) that other nations endured during their liberation struggles. Remember viewers, short overviews are meant to spark deeper research. Passing exams is not understanding history, nor learning the lessons it must teach us in the now.

[@silverbullet2008bb]

Below is a repost of a comment that was written to me by a South African Lady. Here is some of what she had to say regarding Apartheid and the take over of South Africa by the ANC and Nelson Mandela: "...the Nationalist govt. realized that blacks and Whites would never live together peacefully. So they created ''separate development'' but just went a little too far with petty Apartheid, by legislating the separate benches, buses and stuff. However they built a perfect infrastructure for each race, whereby every citizen had access to all the necessities, like excellent Hospitals, clinics, schools, universities and libraries. There was a perfect transport system in the railways and buses. There was cheap and unlimited electricity, and even though we had no way of getting oil, we made our own from coal and called it Sasol. It worked perfectly well. Farmers were doing so well that they were not only feeding the nation, but exporting food to the rest of the world as well. Everybody had access to a job, especially farmworkers whose employers housed their entire families, fed them from government-subsidised rations, built them little schools and clinics on their own farms, as they were in such remote areas. Food was cheap and plentiful. As you have so aptly described it, we were a thriving nation and could have held our own against any other country. At one stage, in the late 70s, the Rand was stronger than the American dollar. But, aided and abetted by the Soviet states who were eyeing the entire southern Africa, including Mozambique, Angola and Zimbabwe, for all their riches and resources and wanted to take over. Also, we were sanctioned, ostracized, vilified in the mainstream media and generally persecuted by all the Western nations, none of them who knew a thing about Africa or Africans. Nobody thought to look North, where all the other countries had been liberated from their colonial masters, and had become basket cases. Everybody sitting under trees with begging bowls, waiting for the United Nations to come and feed them. Naturally, every single government was so corrupt, and had chased away or murdered almost all the taxpaying whites, so the countries just sank into a mire of poverty and remain so. The Communist USSR manipulated matters so that the saintly Nelson Mandela was released from prison, where he was doing his time having narrowly escaped execution for multiple murders. The Russians flew him and a whole bunch of his contemporaries called Umkonto Wesizwe (the armed wing of the African Communist Party) took them back to the USSR, and trained them how to make bombs, sabotage, electricity pylons and of course use the indestructible AK-47 to its maximum effect. They then returned them to South Africa, and these terrorists, including Mandela, started bombing railway stations full of civilians, including their own people. They blew up, electricity pylons and God knows what else. Eventually the whole lot were caught and taken to trial. By some miracle they escaped execution by hanging, and instead were taken to Robben island. Were they couldn't do any more damage to their own people and the infrastructure Eventually the Western countries got their own way and had Mandela released, along with his accomplices, and through the mainstream media, turned him, a terrorist and murderer, into a Saint. A lot of white South Africans had seen what happened in Rhodesia, and had already left the country, so there were very few left to vote against handing the country to the ANC. I could go on and on, but in a nutshell that's why we were forced into handing [over] our beautiful country..."

[@saunleecoetzee9170]

Not a bad overview, but it left out a major factor, interestingly one that is often omitted in commentary by people in the so-called 'West'. Apartheid was the legislative and ideological justification for a system of forced labor, a way to maintain an disenfranchised pool of workers and not to bear the social costs of pollution and occupational diseases. It was structured by multi-national mining and agricultural corporations for their shareholders profits. These shareholders were not South Africans by and large, but 'investors in the UK and USA. Apartheid ended because it simply became too expensive too maintain in the face of internal resistance. Sanctions were more of a public show for domestic audiences in the UK and USA than really effective measures. Companies merely pretended to be South African, eg Coca Cola, Ford, etc. Political freedom now exists, but the legacy of Apartheid remains, inequitable ownership of land and the economy remains relatively unchanged. The enormous debt built-up during Apartheid continued to drain our economy for more than a decade, the horrendous backlog in equalizing service delivery has been aggravated by the inevitable relocation of people from their forcibly and artificially imposed locations in the 'Homelands'.

[@wimkotze7744]

"The enormous debt built-up during Apartheid " was amortized with in 5years. The destruction and debt built-up by the current regime will not be amortized in a lifetime. Are you suggesting British Kaffraria was an "forcibly and artificially imposed location". I suppose, according to your version of history, Kayalitchia used to be the Zulu empire's capital befor the arrival of the Dutch?

Correction! The Union of South Africa was not an amalgamation of Colonies. It included 2 independent Boer republics (ZAR - Pres Paul Kruger and Orange Free State - Pres Steyn). This independence was re-affirmed at the end of Anglo-Boer War I. However, the largest Gold Fields in the World in ZAR and Diamond mines in the Orange Free State threatened British dominance in the area. Hence, Anglo-Boer War II followed where "the British Empire ("more than 1/4 of the human race") went to war against 2 tiny agrarian Boer Republics, Orange Free State and ZAR/Transvaal, which population barely numbered that of any major British City and who did not poses a formal standing army". The 2nd Anglo-Boer war which culminated in a drawn out guerrilla war, holocaust of the Boer Women, Children & Elderly via the Scorched Earth Policy (incl Concentration Camps, blow-up houses, kill all lively stock, burn harvests, salt water holes) and the Vereniging Peace Treaty that included Self Rule.

[@redskyalice2529]

Thank you for the upload. If you would kindly allow me ... I'd like to add to the above and just clear some things up. Apartheid lasted for 46 years (not 50). The British pretty much set the stage for apartheid system prior to 1948, long before Verwoerd instituted official apartheid in 1948. Jan Smuts may have been Afrikaans, but the Boers hated him for selling them out with their own republics when it was unionized back in 1910 (Jan Smuts cozied up with the Brits). In 1975/76 television reached SA shores and together with local newspapers became the (usual) predominant propaganda tool. Most whites were unaware of the various Land Acts etc you mentioned unless one specifically worked with constitutional law thanks to Apartheid propaganda. It was probably only until the unrest, bombings and sanctions in the mid/late 80s that most whites were made aware that although terrorist bombings were unacceptable and hundreds of innocent people died, apartheid was also put into question. Whites were sold an alternative form of bullshit like all good propagandists through the years. IMPORTANT - ALWAYS LEFT OUT OF THE HISTORY BOOKS: 1992 De Klerk, the then President of SA, held a referendum where whites voted for or against apartheid due to the pressure of sanctions, unrest and bombings by the ANC. - 70% OF WHITES VOTED AGAINST APARTHEID! BRIEF POST APARTHEID After Mandela, everything went pear-shaped. BBEEE policy (Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment - a form of affirmative action, but much more). This SEVERELY impacted the white population's ability to earn and continue to suffer tremendously. Over 50% of whites have immigrated I'm told since 1994 (called "the brain drain"). In fact, there are over 114 laws (as opposed to 11 during apartheid) against whites, not to mention the upcoming EXPROPRIATION OF PROPERTY WITHOUT COMPENSATION due in December 2020. That is not restricted to land only, but anything including bank accounts, savings and/or pensions. The third largest political party are the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and even the ANC (ruling party) themselves (Zuma etc) sing "Shoot the Boer, shoot the farmer", "burn the farms" and One Settler, one bullet" (PAC political party) and proudly broadcast on our main television broadcaster as well as social media. This constant barrage of incitement to kill whites has led to THOUSANDS of the most gruesome torturous murders of white farmers since the beginning of this new dispensation (like the crucifying of three year old girl and boiling 12 year old boy. Having racial slurs like white pigs written on blood on the walls of the murdered hacked to death by machetes). I mention this so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. Let's not forget the burning of thousands and thousands of acres of farmers' lands. These murders are not the same as the rest of the high crime murders that occur in this country. Most murders are known to the victim or within their community and are never this vicious. Farm murders are on a whole other level. There is VERY RARELY mention of these murders in the MSM. But various organisations like Afriform (who are recognised by the UN) keep records of it and fight on behalf of minorities). The government REFUSES to even acknowledge farm murders and in fact at the UN in 2018 Ramaphosa (president) stated "there are no farm murders happening in SA". Just to put things in perspective. Apartheid police killed 69 blacks in Sharpville (1960) and 176 blacks in the Soweto uprising (1976) Totals 245 blacks died. There was also abuses that came out during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the mid 1990s of other deaths caused by police interrogation and historians put the death toll of Apartheid police against blacks at 526 (some say slightly higher, some slightly lower) during the entire 46 years of apartheid.. (This does not include "black on black" infighting during that period). I say this now because everything has become a "racial issue in SA and I want to make the argument against falsities such as the whites or the "WHITE CITIZENS" themselves committed genocide which is ridiculous and can be verified. Compare that figure to the current SLOW GENOCIDE of THOUSANDS OF WHITE FARMERS by black citizens (ie. not some military police - but citizens) in gruesome murders and it has been conservatively estimated that over 120 000 whites have been killed by blacks since 1994. THE LAND QUESTION Government owns approx 80% of the land and of the land remaining (ie. 20%) is private property. Of that whites own approximately 70% bearing in mind most farm). So it is very disingenuous of them to spew out falsities by saying whites own 70% of the land. They own 70% of the 20% private property. That was a couple of years ago and the figures might be more in favour of the ever rising black middle class. Though white settlers were in the Cape region first in 1952 (save the KhoiSan), the Nguni tribes only filtered down from Central Africa in the 1800s towards Natal and the eastern part of the country as the lands in the Cape and parts of the interior (Transvaal/OFS) required technology (windmills etc) to farm and the Nguni tribes were cattle herders mostly. The problem is the ANC/EFF continue to insinuate that Africa belongs to blacks only and thus all land that the whites may have settled in (despite the whites buying property from the Khoisan in the Cape and the Boer Republics founding their area) are not considered citizens any longer in this country, but foreigners. There is the view that the entire continent of Africa belongs to blacks (by that logic, the Arabs in the North had also better leave). Worst part is they are not planning to give it to the blacks as they're "promising", but to lease out land to them while the government owns everything - like a good communist (Leninist style - Check out the NDR - National Democratic Revolution they've been implementing, especially since Zuma presidency). At any rate, most of the land taken by apartheid was given back! 97% of that land the blacks opted for the money instead of the land from 1995 to about 2005 (unsure exactly). Yet the EFF and ANC keep saying they want "the land back". HATRED AND THE COMING GENOCIDE ... EFF Leader, Malema has upped his antics from wanting to "slash the throat of whiteness" and not calling for the "slaughter of whites", at least for now" to the now constant barrage of calls to kill the whites. I could go on and on what whites have to endure daily (and in some parts of the country it's worse than others) and the media and the government are complicit. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE LEAD UP TO THE RWANDA GENOCIDE and we are already on level 7 of Genocide Watch. Number 8 is the actual act. BUT THE WORLD IS SILENT. GENOCIDE IS IMMINENT WITH THREATS FROM THE EFF members (They actually use the word "genocide all whites" with pictures of machetes etc on social media). The ANC documentation have stated from the beginning to treat whites like frogs being boiled - slowly at first so they don't jump out. It has worked and the "frogs" feel the heat as the water starts to boil. There are many secessionist organisations now for all minorities (whites, coloureds, Indians) to secede from SA in the W.Cape. But sadly, it may only happen once the "water has already boiled" killing thousands more whites in a sudden mass genocide (as they now daily threaten). While SA was the poster child for "mutli-culturalism", clearly it didn't work. But the globalists want to implement world wide communism where you own nothing and they own you! This is a brief synopsis that I'm sure not many people will read but anyway. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you know most whites in this country do not blame all blacks for what the ANC/EFF are doing to us, Why then are these ANC/EFF supporters (and there are millions of them) hate all whites for what an Apartheid regime did. We did not glorify the killing of black people during Apartheid or have open hate groups against them like they have against the whites. I abhorred apartheid, but this open hostility, racism and hatred the likes I've never experienced is now being experienced by the whites right now! Thank you and God bless!

@Shiraz Adams Soviet ideologies is not Russian or Chinese. Its all over the world in just about every country there is. It forms a network. SACP has dealings with Cuba and Vietnam which in turn has dealings with other communist states. Soviet countries stay independent with a central ideology and a very long term planning. All leaders and the executives of Soviet states are filthy rich while their nations live with just the basics. A capitalist use paid workers to create wealth and workers have a choice to work or not. Socialist use forced labour to enrich themselves and commit crime and corruption the way the ANC is doing it.

South Africa was Zulu territory, after the British defeated them they still became an influential part of the ruling government. At the start of WWII Zulu's supported the British and the Boers sided with Germany making lots of trouble in SA. When a great many Brits had to leave for WWII the Boers let other tribes swarm into SA. There were a lot of inter-tribal killings and it got to the point that no one was safe. So the Boers in gaining more power over the region in the absence of British and Zulu power took over and instituted apartheid and 'Home Lands' for each tribal group to keep them from killing each other. These were heavily policed to keep down trouble. It wasn't till much later that some of these tribes started attacking whites and colored's so there was instituted an 'full apartheid'. It was because of the non-Zulu tribes that were causing all the murder and mayhem.

Since 1970 the budget for black education was raised by about 30% per year every year. More than any other government department. In the period 1955 -1984 the amount of black school students increased 31 times from 35,000 to 1,096 000. 65% of black South African children were at school compared to Egypt 64%, Nigeria 57%, Ghana52%, Tanzania50% and Ethiopia 29%. Amongst the adults of South Africa, 71% could read and write (80% between the ages 12 and 22). Compare this to Kenya 47%, Egypt 38%, Nigeria 34% and Mozambique at 26%. In South Africa, the whites built 15 new classrooms for blacks every working day, every year. At 40 children per class it meant space for an additional 600 black students every day! In 1985 there were 42,000 Blacks at 5 universities in South Africa, about the same amount at the universities of the homelands (another 40,000 at another five). In an article called “Die Afrikaner” 11 Feb 1987, the quarterly magazine called “Vox Africana Nr 29 4/87 stated that, South Africa had 4,8 million whites and 18,2 million blacks in 1987. The whites paid 77% of the taxes and the blacks only 15%...despite this...56% of the government budget was spent on blacks. During the time of Dr. Verwoerd. the living standards of Blacks were rising at 5,4% per year against that of the whites at 3,9% per year. In 1965 the economic growth of South Africa was the second highest in the world at 7,9%. The rate of inflation was a mere 2% per annum and the prime interest rate only 3% per annum. Domestic savings were so great that South Africa needed no foreign loans for normal economic expansion. Even Lord Deedes admitted, “White South Africa grew to become the economic giant of the continent, the other members of the Commonwealth virtually sank into poverty.” 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. Today Soweto has modern shopping malls like, Dobsonville Shopping Centre. In 2005 the Protea Gardens Mall opened. This was followed by the Baramall Shopping Centre and the Jabulani Shopping complex and the Maponya Mall. Experts say that Soweto has as much as 25% oversupply of retail space. The biggest hospital in the world, Baragwanath with 3200 beds and at its peak during Apartheid with almost 8000 staff, had 23 operation theatres fitted out with the most modern medical equipment that existed in the world. Blacks were treated here, operated on...at full state costs to the white-taxpayers for unlimited periods. The budget of this hospital was and is higher than the yearly budget of most small member states of the United Nations. Next door to Baragwanath is the St. John’s Eye Clinic. The clinic was world famous for the treatment of Glaucoma, Cataracts, traumatic eye injuries and rare tropical diseases. Baragwanath in 1978 employed 450 medical doctors in full-time service. It treated 112 000 in-patients and 1.62 million out-patients per year. The children and infant death rate with 34.8 per 1000 was lower than Harlem in New York. In 1982 alone, this hospital performed 898 heart operations of world quality. Ironically...90% of the blood donors for this hospital were whites, who donated blood free of charge, totally voluntarily...to save black lives. (Quoted from The Citizen, 2 April 1987). Whites have already given blacks their blood. What more do they want?

Sorry, your video is full of major mistakes. One for example is: the United Party (1934-1948) was NOT formed by the coloureds and the Brittish people. It was actually 2 Parties that merged: Jan Smuts (Commander-General of the Union of SA) with the SAP (South-African Party) and Dr. JBM Hertzog with the National Party. They were then called the "Smelters"-party. A group of Boers (Afrikaans and English) with Dr. DF Malan, adv. CR Swart (South Africa's first State President) and adv. JG Strydom then (after Smuts and Hertzog's parties merged) refounded the National Party. This is the National Party came into power in 1948.
