It's 30 Years Since Apartheid Ended. South Africa's Celebrations Are Set Against Growing Discontent

[excalibur]

How to spell disaster? South Africa 30 years on. And no one should be surprised.

...
South Africa's Black majority that make up more than 80% of the population of 62 million still overwhelmingly affected by severe poverty.

The official unemployment rate is 32%, the highest in the world, and more than 60% for young people between the ages of 15 and 24. More than 16 million South Africans — 25% of the country — rely on monthly welfare grants for survival.

...

In the week leading up to the anniversary, countless South Africans were asked what 30 years of freedom from apartheid meant to them. The dominant response was that while 1994 was a landmark moment, it's now overshadowed by the joblessness, violent crime, corruption and near-collapse of basic services like electricity and water that plagues South Africa in 2024.

The GOP's hatred about apartheid ending is irrefutable evidence that desiring freedom is worth nothing to their ideology

China is working their way in.

Wait until they experience the new poverty under Chinas imperial rule. Poverty with "Chinese characteristics". History always repeats itself it seems.

Crime is a bigger problem in the Union of South Africa than the economy IMHO.

And cannibalism as well. President Biden lost an uncle to a hungry tribe, and if they'll eat someone that highly connected, what do you think they would do to you?

This thread was started by a white supremacist. So it will lack critical facts such as whites still control the banks and econmy of South Africa 30 years after Apartheid ended.
