[@glendodds4926]

Actually, although Vorster pulled out South Africa's ground forces in 1975, South African military involvement began again under his successor, P.W. Botha. In the late 1970s, for example, D squadron of the Rhodesian SAS was actually entirely manned by South African special forces. Moreover, in September 1979 an SAAF Puma helicopter was shot down during Operation Uric.

[@blozder98]

Africa if you were still in the hands of white people, would be economically wealthy like Europe. But with help from the USA, UK and Soviet Union destroyed everything for the black Africans and whites could not live in harmony. As was the former Portuguese colonies, Rhodesia and South Africa. Long live to Rhodesia greathings from Portuguese boy.

[@RedRUSSI4N]

rdokoye Yep, now you are the majority and Africa is now home to 10 of the 10 world worst econiomics. Africa is the only continent, where almost 900 people don't even have access to simple water. Fast growing is norm for any small economy which so many in Africa, so it's not the mark of success, also corrupted officials, who made their millions on robbing people of their country aren't mark of success too. Countries of Africa, that have 1st or 2nd world status reached it even in the colonial period, more than that: many countries that had 1st world status during the rule of whites are now the 3rd world (for example Zimbabwe). By the way, in the XX century there already was no one, who could be really interested in genocide of african people, so you didn't have a chance to become minority and less than 1% of the Africa population. You can console yourself as much as you want, but truth is that your land is completely fucked and it's only your fault, not fault of the colonists, who built your cities and made your economies.

[@RedRUSSI4N]

rdokoye Oh, I'm so sorry for my bad English, I'm just learning it. >The Europeans came to Africa to steal its resources, nothing more, nothing less. They did not, as you put it, build first world nations, and if you think they did, then you are a fool. Of course they did, but for themselves (for example South Africa and Rhodesia), not for you. However, you could use their achievements to build your own first world countries, but you didn't. >The amount of infrastructure they built was minimal at best, and most of it was built to serve that single purpose, to siphon all of Africa’s resources out of the continent, where it could be processed and sold back to Africa and other countries around the world. That’s why infrastructure such as railway lines went moribund, after independence, because these railway lines were not economically viable, used just to carry resources from the far hinterland, to the coast for shipping. Oh, come on! You had more than 30 years to build your economically viable infrastructure, where is it? >Moreover, Europeans did attempt to wipe out the African population. The same tactics they used on Native Americans were also used on Native Africans; they just didn’t have the same effects. I was talking about time right before independece. In second half of XX century africans already had the equal rights with whites (except SAR), so after independence you could live in peace with white minority and build your 1st world nations together, but you preferred to kill them and expropriate their property (not in all countries, of course), also your black racism didn't allow you to elect white leaders, who knew how to rule the state, so you chose populists, deceivers and just idiots, who ruined your countries. You had the base and the 30 years to build your normal countries, but you didn't do this. Africa still in deep shit and this is still your fault. You sitting on the land that full of minerals and oil, but you're still the poorest people in the world. It's such a shame.

[@chica476]

But non of it is in African hands now, rather the Chinese have a stake in it. By the way, would you mind linking me to something which supports your point of view? Just because something is _growing fast_ doesn't mean that it can compete either on the world market, or has the same economic output as say, the UK, USA, Russia, China, Indonesia etc.

Rhodesia was not an apartheid country. South Africa had laws and walls that kept blacks apart from society in every aspect of life. A white employee could not even have a black boss It seems in this video that blacks and whites walked the streets together, fought together, and marched together with almost no regard to race. Only in elections was there any separation but in every other way, Rhodesia created a system that may have evoked a subconscious envy among Americans and ZAers.

I doubt that the country will ever be what it was before Zimbabwe was born in 1980 - a system of government that included all the peoples was inevitable, and was a part of political developments even as far back as 1960. That said, we live in hope that sanity will return to the country for the sake of all the once well educated and independantly minded souls that still suffer (pretty much in silence sadly...) under the present administration.
