RR7614B SOUTH AFRICA: THE STATE OF APARTHEID

[@alexsandrodesouzagoncalves3373]

So, the matter is much more complex. The fact that the NP and its apartheid were wrong and destined to end... does not mean that the ANC and its totalitarian government would be the solution... Just rethink and analyze... The country has a lot of potential and has already lost almost 80 years in crises and extreme partisanship. It is past time for South Africa to seek a path of true balance. May this good and rare record be an example of learning. The heyday of South Africa's segregationist regime occurred 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 like 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 rise in the price of oil (OPEC crisis in 1973), on which South Africa has always depended. Understanding the moment of change and adapting was crucial, but the NP government at that time missed the opportunity to reform the country. 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 sense, the end of the USSR in 1991 helped a lot to make possible the transition to post-apartheid without civil war in the AFR. From the South and beyond, Namibia can be saved by giving it independence without it falling like Angola and Zimbabwe, for example. May the Boer country rise again and become a land of prosperity, greetings from Brazil.

Segregation and oppression in South Africa dates back to the 1600s. By the 1900s it was nationwide. All that trauma can't be healed in a few decades. But then what do you care? We only just came down from the trees

@@dbs4898 it's our Republic, and therefore we should not be dependent on selfish politicians to make things right. We all have a responsibility to fight to make this a better place.
