How are you sure? Time will still tell. In the army you must have learnt to endure and be brave so please work hard and build a united country. Black Africans need White Africans.

Came from Europe and worked in SA for a few years in the 1980s. ..and can remember an expression from there to describe the narration of this film: PRAAT KAK!
Today South Africa has almost no railway, no postal service, healthcare and daily power failures. Cholera breaks out and unemployment of 60%. It was such a rich country? Even the national airline is bankrupt.
4/5 of the country did not have those services during Apartheid either. Are you stupid or something? Its easy to appear rich when you cordone off the majority of the population to live in poverty and exploit for labour. Would YOU accept that? If you do then you have a servile nature.

@@thedevine7963 the vast majority of white South Africans have roots in Africa that go back hundreds of years. They have no more entitlement to move to Europe than any African because whether you like it or not, they are African.

I'm from Botswana and I don't think we are going backwards as a country, but rather the contrary...from 1966 till today the next generation has had better standards of living than the one previous. Our big bros in South Africa are sorting out their issues. Unlike Botswana, they had a lot more turmoil to deal with, from apartheid and internal strife. All that will take a long time to heal. I have faith in our African neighbours. If you don't have faith in the people of the continent, that's okay. However by all standards, all countries on planet earth have increased standards of living. Whether that be the UK, the US, Australia...all countries are levelling up in some form or another, the rates just differ.
20 km from Luanda... no force in Africa was able to stop SADF. It was a directive from from the US to pull back not the resistance of the MPLA. It seems there is lot of BS history in this video.
I believe south africa move withdrew on their own accord as their allies abandoned them in angola so they withdrew to avoid being cut off they withdrew
I am Angolan. I Became a refugee at the age of 14 in 1975. It wasn’t the MPLA that caused South Africa.’s defeat. The South Africa army was just 18 km away to enter the only MPLA stronghold name Luanda, the capital of Angola, and win the war,despite the heavy presence of the Cuban army heavily armed by Russia. It was The UN that decided to demand that South African army withdraw from Angola. We the population were left at the mercy of the terrorist and tyrannical communist regime MPLA. They grabbed the power by force. They committed atrocities, massacres too horrific to describe. I am now 66 years of age, living in the safety of the U.K. However the memories are quite raw. I’m the lucky ones that survived the MPLA murderous spree.

not everything being told here is the truth,i was in the SA army during the apartheid years, and spent 5 months on the Angola /SWA border in 1977, during 1975 US was supporting the SA government, in June/JUly 1975 SA troops were only a few kilometers from entering Launda when US warned SA government if they enter the city they will withdraw all support to SA, if Russia and China didn't get involved SA would of been in control of Angola and SWA until today, in 1982 i was 180 kilometres deep in Angola , with SA troops,
How are things better now? There was a fire in a building in Johannesburg (31 August 2023) that took the lives of 74 people. How did the gas explosion in Bree st.(19 July 2023) improve the lives of commuters? How did the riots of July 2021 improve the country?
In London 72 people died in Grenfell when a building burned just 8 years ago. Stuff life this doesn't just happen in South Africa. Progress is not just one straight line, there will be set backs...one must have faith in the human spirit to strive to get better. I'm from Botswana and I've been to South Africa before.

I just wish they handled everything better back then coz they could have still have this dam country under control yes apartheid was not right and I don't stand for that but one thing the land was in good shape
It is still the richest country in Africa, but black people had no opportunities and no rights. We were more of a shithole back then, and the legacy of Apartheid has still not been quashed. As a white South African, I can tell you: More black people and more SAns in general have access to healthcare, water and electricity than back then. Even with load shedding. If you think it was better before '94 you are retarded or brainwashed. At least we have a chance now to fix our problems. More people live in the middle class, people have rights, people are able to participate in the economy. Black poverty was much higher under Apartheid.

Interesting that it is an American narrator. Apartheid was modelled on the previaling segregationist policies of South Carolina in 1948, and until the late 1960's there was segregated housing, segregated travel, segrated Churches, restaurants and segregated beaches in America. Yet by 1976 (8 years after massive civcil rights riots across America), President Jimmy Carter was lectring the Soviets ad South Africa about civil rights.
The US knew those policies were inhuman and counter to American values, and thus when politically freed from de facto desegregation, there was a sense of "aspirational" obligation to promote those values on a global level, particularly during the Carter administration.
Look at south africa now. They were one of the richest countries in the world. Even with sanctions. Now they are one of the poorest. The tribes can't get along. Long live Rhodesia
yes, i was born during the height of the apartheid regime in South Africa, grew up in SA during the 1960/70/80, even did my arm during 1976 to 1977, spent 5 months of my life in 1977 on the SWA/Angola border, did many 3 month border camps as we called it, all for nothing, but very few people know that if US didn't turn their backs on SA , SA would of taken over Angola during 1975, SA troops were only few kilos away from Launda when US warned SA that if thy enter Launda they will withdraw their support, in 1982/84 SA troops were deep in Angola,i myself was 180 kilometres in Angola in 1982, as u say it was one of the riches countries in the world and is now a sewage dump,
Our per-capita GDP adjusted for inflation is actually slightly higher now than it was in the 70s. Also, we're no longer one of the least free nations on Earth. Fascism doesn't work.
hehehe i love your comment, to think i was there on the border war in 1977 for 5 months, and spent so many 3 month camps there, was just a waste of time, i was in DEC 1978 also in SWA during the so-called SWA elections, protecting a school building 30 kilometres outside of Oshakati, only ten of us , if Russia and China never got involved with the bush war South Africa would of taken over Angola, US was supporting the SA government, in 1975 when SA troops were about to enter Launda the US warned Voster if we take over the city it would withdraw all support , in 1982 i was 180 kilometers in to Angola doing support for the food convoys,

I'm curious how so many accounts of this period in Angola's history ignore the fact that Jonas Savimbi's UNITA was established by Maoist communists and in fact received most of their training and arms from the PRC. Holden Robert's guerillas received some aid from the CIA via Zaire, and later received assistance from the Chinese and South Africans. One the USSR helped Cuba support the MPLA with troops, Western support for the FNLA and UNITA became more overt but China was always more important.
This was also the period where China and the West started to talk, and the Sino Soviet split was at its deepest. Operation Savannah started in1974, the same year I think that Nixon and Gough Whitlam made trips to China and begin relations with the CCP.
@@chrisbrent7487 that is why very few people know about the USA was supporting the apartheid regime with technology and support and advice during that period, because in June 1975 when South Africa troops were a mere few kilometres away from Luanda Angola and planning to enter the city the next morning the US government threatened Pretoria that if they enter the city they would withdraw all their support, I can't remember if USA government was supplying weapons of any kind, I just know I was in the South African defence forces from July 1976 to June 77 and in 1977 spent 5 months on the Angola border, many lies are told in this video,if Russia and China never assisted the Angolan army with weapons and fighter jets South Africa would of annialated the Angolan army, because in 1982 I was 180 kilometres inside Angola territory supporting the food convoys suppling the South African troops,ad I was in the Panzer Corps, we also protected of the Portuguese people who went and fetched of their furniture left behind,and in one town which was abandoned by Angola army,we found tin food papers showing how Finland Belgium was supplying weapons food oil to Angola in that time, many other stories I can tell here
They can't run themselves, its sad and unpleasant fact but demonstrably true. South Africa now is well on its way to the same state as every other African nation.
South Africa today is certainly not the promised land that many hoped it would be. Even former president Thabo Mbeki expresses his concern over how the state is failing. Watching the news makes it seem like piles of shit is raining down uniformly across the country evenly everywhere, and that the middle class folk who still choose to live in SA are just boiling frogs. Maybe I'm a boiling frog. It's possible. I've never really lived anywhere else, and as a white man, I live quite comfortably compared to most. That doesn't mean that despite my white privilege I don't also work hard for a living. That doesn't mean that working hard is even a good thing, or that it is virtuous. But, working hard for a living is something I enjoy, and in my culture, for as originally Calvinistic, protestant, prude, misogynistic, homophobic and racist as it may have been, hard work, is a virtue, if not the biggest virtue of all in the eyes of many of my people. Whether they even realise it or not. "Hard work is its own reward." - is a core value, and historically, whether by force or not, it is what this country was built on, whether we like it not, whether its a good thing or not. Being and Afrikaner and growing up in a farming community in Mpumalanga and now living in Cape Town for the last 7 years, I do believe that there is a glimmer of hope. But it is very unlikely that the seed of that hope will come in the form of the likes of populist movements and political parties such as the Economic Freedom Fighters, or the African National Congress in its current form. A culture based in historic injustice and a core belief in entitlement to reparations, may be just, but also hopeless. For as much at the ANC has lost its soul to opportunistic criminals, the DA, appears to suffer from an illegitimacy complex, and the EFF flip-flops around and pivots towards whichever tactical advantage is nearest in the moment, it would be naive to think that none of the political parties in SA currently have any semblance of a "core value" to speak of. But the EFF might currently be the only political party who has a core value, that it (or its leader) may also be unaware of: Like a crack addict, would do anything for the next hit no matter the cost, the EFF's leader Julius Malema can't say no the the next opportunity to rile its supporters up very fervently around whatever apparent issue... Only for it to emerge that his true message circles the same grievance every time, and ultimately suggests the same solution: Some form of retributive justice! That is what the EFF ultimately wants. Restitution / reparations and retributive justice at any cost, no matter if everyone ends up being off much worse in the end. Economically this kind of talk only leads to ever more capital flight and even worse destabilization and poverty. It also won't make this country (SA) more diverse, but rather even more unequal and more divided across the middle class and the poor, the haves and the have-nots. More inclusivity, diversity and mutual understanding, that is not based in retributive justice, but rather pragmatic attitudes in the interest of progress, I believe is the best way forward. South Africans are innovative, and diversity brings with it a lot of creativity. Why do you think the US is still, despite everything it does wrong in the word, regarded as the most innovate country in the world? It's because they're basically a nation of immigrants from all over the world mixing and living, and working together in all the different ways that people do. Historically, people congregating and forming factions around their generational trauma and mutual brittle psyches has never yielded much progress, but rather led to genocides instead.
The National Party aptly kept South Africa Free of Foreign interference. The end of the Cold War made possible the Kempton Park agreement that ushered in black majority rule. The landing of a Russian strategic bomber in Waterkloof Airbase even before the Ukrainian War shows clearly with whom the ANC is aligned. For how long the ANC can play off without consequence the West against the Russians and the Chinese juggernaut remain to be seen
South Africa abandoned my Rhodesian friends to the international community. They ultimately suffered the same fate. Those who betray are in turn betrayed.
Yep. If south Africa immediately recognized Rhodesia Mozambique and Portugal probably would have. And then even Israel. South Africa just used Rhodesia while being far more repressive than Rhodesia was

If only they could have done so with respect to Africans, equal rights, equal opportunities I do not think Africans would have never have had any problems whatsoever sharing land and resources with them, respecting their culture and letting them keep their language and tradition, but yeah they had to be racist and inhumanly subjugate Africans, dispossess them of their land and impoverish them. Africans would have been spared the fighting and being subjugated to the rule of this Liberation armies turned politicians overnight, we wouldn't be here today.
and all because the US and European countries turned their backs on the country, especially the US which was originally backing the apartheid government fighting against the Angolan forces, dont get me wrong,i was one of them being against the border war, but it just goes about in the very early of 1970s US was backing the SA government and when SA troops were about to enter Launda in June 1975 US told Pretoria if they take over the city they will withdraw all support to Pretoria, but yes to think before 1994 so-called democratic elections how clean safe the country was, i grew up in SA during the 1960/70. i walked to school, rode bicycle, us kids in the streets would play in the streets until late at night, we slept in a tent on our front lawn over the weekends, slept with unlocked doors, no high security fences like now, one gets murdered in your own home now, even with all the barbed wire and security systems in lace,
The country was 'lovely' for whites only. Therein lay the problem. It was lovely for 10% of the inhabitants. For most of the others it was a life without dignity or hope. (Of course, sadly for all of South Africa, the leaders that came after Mandela have been a disaster.)
THE COMMENTS mainly from South African whyts, is what went wrong with Southern Africa in the first place. Africa is big with plenty of land, resources, and wealth that could have catered for everyone's needs African or Whyt, if only some people had created these states with equal rights and opportunities for everyone regardless of their skin colour, instead people are nostalgic for a period that for an African is reminiscent oppression and stripped of our dignity, it doesn't matter of the economic benefits that came with that, even a woman married to a rich abusive man will eventually divorce him. Yeah black governments have not lived up to expectations but will you expect an average black man to fight to be legally discriminated against in exchange for having a job and a salary. Unless and until we can all agree both sides contributed to the present conundrum the status quo will forever put both Blacks and Whites at the losing end. There were no winners here, both sides lost
Remember there were and are persons who are black, including the tribes, say Matabele, Shona, Banta, and Masai that had wanted amiability and amicability. Potable water, good roads, good homes, and other good helps for the humans. Many worked in the department stores, refineries, factories ,railways and other employments. Problems by agitators were exaggerated. This to put in a person who could be manipulated and not concerned for any citizen.
Yes the blacks ruined it, because they are to stupid to govern themselves. South Africa is what you get if you allow blacks to take over something made by white people.

As a young child in 1967 we moved to South Africa from New Zealand, I found it a disturbing place and the level of tension was self-evident, that said of a lot of the comments in this video are sort of superficial if overall correct. My Dad couldn't wait to leave the place, his complaint was they paid the whites three times as much but expected them to work six times as hard. I lived in Cape Town in Claremont which was a new apartment suburb (for whites), as six year old boys we would walk around the Cape coloured area next door that was very old, with Cape Dutch houses, we were completely defenseless and utterly naive, (our parents were just too busy elsewhere), but we were never harmed or even threatened. School was a real challenge, the level of discipline was way above NZ levels, which were also based on corporal punishment at the time. Anyway, I look back on it now as an interesting opportunity to have been able to view the historical reality of something that was a big issue back then. Nobody gives a tinker's about the place now.
@@titanicisshit1647 I see that you are ill informed. Non of the Pacific theater natives are doing well, they've been socially channeled outside their own culture and heritage.
What is South Africa now under a corrupted Communist ANC rule. In South Africa there are many tribes with different cultures . The problem is another culture cant rule over another culture. Please do some research on the current situation in South Africa.
Today they are torturing farmers and the most horrible manner, the same blacks you pity so much. You have to get the real situation happening in my country. They destroy my beautiful country.
Here's the thing I don't understand. If Africans hate being seen as animals, then why do you BEHAVE LIKE ANIMALS?? Not every African does, but far too many do. If people see black people committing constant crime, violence and generally behaving poorly all the time, then why are you surprised that people would think of you as a violent and criminal people? Does it not make sense that if you want people to see you as good, hard working law abiding people then shouldn't you being doing just that? If the majority of African people were like this, so many African nations wouldn't be in the turmoil that they're in to this day. If the majority of Africans were civilized and hardworking, people would see Africans being just that much like they see Asian people being just that. The fact is that this IS NOT the case with Africans and far too many are violent and criminal which is why African people have gained that reputation. If you want people to see you differently in a more positive light, then get your people to be more peaceful, hardworking and more educated and less violent and criminal and over time people's perception of you will change. This is the only way to do it. You can't commit so much crime and violence and force people to pretend that you're not violent and criminal even as they see Africans involved in crime and violence all the time.
Things are now so much better for all with black ruled governments in Africa and black ruled cities in USA (Chicago, New Orleans, NYC) 😂😂😂 Btw nobody says anything about the return of colonialism in Africa from China. I guess it’s ok if it’s non white and talks about communism.
This is a good example of Left Wing and Liberal propaganda. To comment on every piece of misinformation would require pages. The reason being the producer never stuck to a time line but jumped from the early 1960's to the 1980's and then the 1970's and it confuses the viewer. But the truth is, is the interference of the internation community in the internal matters of a Sovereign State caused what we now have on South Africa.

Interesting that it is an American narrator. Apartheid was modelled on the previaling segregationist policies of South Carolina in 1948, and until the late 1960's there was segregated housing, segregated travel, segrated Churches, restaurants and segregated beaches in America. Yet by 1976 (8 years after massive civcil rights riots across America), President Jimmy Carter was lectring the Soviets ad South Africa about civil rights.
The US knew those policies were inhuman and counter to American values, and thus when politically freed from de facto desegregation, there was a sense of "aspirational" obligation to promote those values on a global level, particularly during the Carter administration.

I'm curious how so many accounts of this period in Angola's history ignore the fact that Jonas Savimbi's UNITA was established by Maoist communists and in fact received most of their training and arms from the PRC. Holden Robert's guerillas received some aid from the CIA via Zaire, and later received assistance from the Chinese and South Africans. One the USSR helped Cuba support the MPLA with troops, Western support for the FNLA and UNITA became more overt but China was always more important.
Bullshit, SAVIMBI was paraded in USA by Reagan as CIA-boy in Angola.
This was also the period where China and the West started to talk, and the Sino Soviet split was at its deepest. Operation Savannah started in1974, the same year I think that Nixon and Gough Whitlam made trips to China and begin relations with the CCP.
From my reading on Rhodesia, China and Cuba (Russia) played huge roles in stirring up communist sentiment in that area.

But, working hard for a living is something I enjoy, and in my culture, for as originally Calvinistic, protestant, prude, misogynistic, homophobic and racist as it may have been, hard work, is a virtue, if not the biggest virtue of all in the eyes of many of my people. Whether they even realise it or not. "Hard work is its own reward." - is a core value, and historically, whether by force or not, it is what this country was built on, whether we like it not, whether its a good thing or not.
Being and Afrikaner and growing up in a farming community in Mpumalanga and now living in Cape Town for the last 7 years, I do believe that there is a glimmer of hope. But it is very unlikely that the seed of that hope will come in the form of the likes of populist movements and political parties such as the Economic Freedom Fighters, or the African National Congress in its current form. A culture based in historic injustice and a core belief in entitlement to reparations, may be just, but also hopeless.
For as much at the ANC has lost its soul to opportunistic criminals, the DA, appears to suffer from an illegitimacy complex, and the EFF flip-flops around and pivots towards whichever tactical advantage is nearest in the moment, it would be naive to think that none of the political parties in SA currently have any semblance of a "core value" to speak of. But the EFF might currently be the only political party who has a core value, that it (or its leader) may also be unaware of: Like a crack addict, would do anything for the next hit no matter the cost, the EFF's leader Julius Malema can't say no the the next opportunity to rile its supporters up very fervently around whatever apparent issue... Only for it to emerge that his true message circles the same grievance every time, and ultimately suggests the same solution: Some form of retributive justice! That is what the EFF ultimately wants. Restitution / reparations and retributive justice at any cost, no matter if everyone ends up being off much worse in the end. Economically this kind of talk only leads to ever more capital flight and even worse destabilization and poverty. It also won't make this country (SA) more diverse, but rather even more unequal and more divided across the middle class and the poor, the haves and the have-nots.
More inclusivity, diversity and mutual understanding, that is not based in retributive justice, but rather pragmatic attitudes in the interest of progress, I believe is the best way forward. South Africans are innovative, and diversity brings with it a lot of creativity. Why do you think the US is still, despite everything it does wrong in the word, regarded as the most innovate country in the world? It's because they're basically a nation of immigrants from all over the world mixing and living, and working together in all the different ways that people do. Historically, people congregating and forming factions around their generational trauma and mutual brittle psyches has never yielded much progress, but rather led to genocides instead.
Shhiiiit this is to long, so I'm going to assume that this is "kak praat"
Very informative and true.
The National Party aptly kept South Africa Free of Foreign interference. The end of the Cold War made possible the Kempton Park agreement that ushered in black majority rule. The landing of a Russian strategic bomber in Waterkloof Airbase even before the Ukrainian War shows clearly with whom the ANC is aligned.
For how long the ANC can play off without consequence the West against the Russians and the Chinese juggernaut remain to be seen
ANP lost its soul? Like necklacing people? Weak cowards like you are why you don’t have a country anymore.
You love hard work more than you love equitable distribution of resources and you are white? Who would've guessed .
South Africa abandoned my Rhodesian friends to the international community. They ultimately suffered the same fate.
Those who betray are in turn betrayed.
Yep. If south Africa immediately recognized Rhodesia Mozambique and Portugal probably would have. And then even Israel. South Africa just used Rhodesia while being far more repressive than Rhodesia was
The Rhodesian and South African forces were a power house.
The USA, and other Western countries should have united with them.
There were individuals who joined from these other countries.
@@clarencelafuentes4801 When things were going bad in Rhodesia the British Army mustered an expeditionary force. They were never sent.....One of the senior Officers was Ian Duncan Smith who was later a prominent politician..
@@MrPomdownunder the betrayal by the USA and others is reprehensible, the same as what was done to President Diem, Republic of Vietnam.
As we know, there were voices in the Western countries for Rhodesia, Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa.
I do believe that much more citizenry are aware of the hidden hand(s) that orchestrate the disasters.
Not true!!!! South Africa invited Rhodesia to join it if UDI failed
Rhodesians also represented SA on sport
SA sent thousands of Rand to support Rhodeo. I was a fund raiser.
Why are you not mentioning how functional South Africa was?..
Electricity, rail system, health system, functioning efficient police, minimal crime, no potholes, secure borders, working postal system..... The ANC has 🤬ed South Africa up...
Functional for whom?

@@kharkanas6779 ..both sides, black and white...
This is a newsreel from 1975, you moron.
You are asking the wrong question and to the wrong person. The question should have been to the ANC, HOW DO WE MAKE THAT WHICH IS FUNCTIONAL FOR A FEW, TO BE FUNCTIONAL FOR EVERYBODY?
Because the more u ask who won and who lost during apartheid, there can be no progress. @@kharkanas6779
South Africa has made such great progress since the terrible days of the 1970's.
Since 1994 it has transformed itself, for *all* of its citizens, into the rape & murder capital of the world.
And that is a rare achievement for any nation.

Visit Kenya, Botswana. They have done tremendously well. Even Libya had universal healthcare before it was bombed by NATO so your point that colonial countries are doing worse is baseless. India and China have surpassed its colonial satans in development
well the white anglo saxon has all the answers right? british,spanish,usa needs to worry about there own demise let africa be.

@@jimforrest8099the trouble is, we’re being flooded with “the problem” here too now.
Because European colonial powers love to interfere in the politics of former colonies. They still need the valuable resources that come out of these countries. So pit one side against the other.

Look at the country today,its a dump,poverty and despair everywhere.

@@aussy78 I am sure black and white had a vastly different experience, but I would also argue that we all also experienced less crime and also a more stable economy, since although many people did not have, and some still do not, running water and electricity those that had had it reliably and our shops, schools, universities, hospitals and places of work could operate much more efficiently with a constant uninterrupted and cheap power and water supply. Those benefits we all had and now no one has it.
and now nobody has a job and everyones lifestyle is horrendous.

Well said, but this comment will be erased. Peace be unto you.
If only they could have done so with respect to Africans, equal rights, equal opportunities I do not think Africans would have never have had any problems whatsoever sharing land and resources with them, respecting their culture and letting them keep their language and tradition, but yeah they had to be racist and inhumanly subjugate Africans, dispossess them of their land and impoverish them. Africans would have been spared the fighting and being subjugated to the rule of this Liberation armies turned politicians overnight, we wouldn't be here today.
@@martinwarner1178 Stay strong brother! Truth shall prevail!
My heart goes out to the Afrikaners. Look what has happened to this once lovely country.
and all because the US and European countries turned their backs on the country, especially the US which was originally backing the apartheid government fighting against the Angolan forces, dont get me wrong,i was one of them being against the border war, but it just goes about in the very early of 1970s US was backing the SA government and when SA troops were about to enter Launda in June 1975 US told Pretoria if they take over the city they will withdraw all support to Pretoria, but yes to think before 1994 so-called democratic elections how clean safe the country was, i grew up in SA during the 1960/70. i walked to school, rode bicycle, us kids in the streets would play in the streets until late at night, we slept in a tent on our front lawn over the weekends, slept with unlocked doors, no high security fences like now, one gets murdered in your own home now, even with all the barbed wire and security systems in lace,
It wasn't lovely when it was infested with the white supremacy virus. They can still go and be "great" in Europe where they come from.
The African Jews came out of the gas chamber, fought and defeated the little African Nazis!
The country was 'lovely' for whites only. Therein lay the problem. It was lovely for 10% of the inhabitants. For most of the others it was a life without dignity or hope. (Of course, sadly for all of South Africa, the leaders that came after Mandela have been a disaster.)
Apartheid was a crime against humanity. Your heart doesn't go to the millions that suffered from?

THE COMMENTS mainly from South African whyts, is what went wrong with Southern Africa in the first place. Africa is big with plenty of land, resources, and wealth that could have catered for everyone's needs African or Whyt, if only some people had created these states with equal rights and opportunities for everyone regardless of their skin colour, instead people are nostalgic for a period that for an African is reminiscent oppression and stripped of our dignity, it doesn't matter of the economic benefits that came with that, even a woman married to a rich abusive man will eventually divorce him. Yeah black governments have not lived up to expectations but will you expect an average black man to fight to be legally discriminated against in exchange for having a job and a salary. Unless and until we can all agree both sides contributed to the present conundrum the status quo will forever put both Blacks and Whites at the losing end. There were no winners here, both sides lost

As a young child in 1967 we moved to South Africa from New Zealand, I found it a disturbing place and the level of tension was self-evident, that said of a lot of the comments in this video are sort of superficial if overall correct. My Dad couldn't wait to leave the place, his complaint was they paid the whites three times as much but expected them to work six times as hard.
I lived in Cape Town in Claremont which was a new apartment suburb (for whites), as six year old boys we would walk around the Cape coloured area next door that was very old, with Cape Dutch houses, we were completely defenseless and utterly naive, (our parents were just too busy elsewhere), but we were never harmed or even threatened.
School was a real challenge, the level of discipline was way above NZ levels, which were also based on corporal punishment at the time. Anyway, I look back on it now as an interesting opportunity to have been able to view the historical reality of something that was a big issue back then. Nobody gives a tinker's about the place now.
There's always someone who plants an evil seed as they say

Man, this comment section is sad. Why you can't you guys see the pain you have caused for people of color. To this day you still see us as animals
Here's the thing I don't understand. If Africans hate being seen as animals, then why do you BEHAVE LIKE ANIMALS?? Not every African does, but far too many do.
If people see black people committing constant crime, violence and generally behaving poorly all the time, then why are you surprised that people would think of you as a violent and criminal people? Does it not make sense that if you want people to see you as good, hard working law abiding people then shouldn't you being doing just that?
If the majority of African people were like this, so many African nations wouldn't be in the turmoil that they're in to this day. If the majority of Africans were civilized and hardworking, people would see Africans being just that much like they see Asian people being just that. The fact is that this IS NOT the case with Africans and far too many are violent and criminal which is why African people have gained that reputation. If you want people to see you differently in a more positive light, then get your people to be more peaceful, hardworking and more educated and less violent and criminal and over time people's perception of you will change.
This is the only way to do it. You can't commit so much crime and violence and force people to pretend that you're not violent and criminal even as they see Africans involved in crime and violence all the time.
Things are now so much better for all with black ruled governments in Africa and black ruled cities in USA (Chicago, New Orleans, NYC) 😂😂😂 Btw nobody says anything about the return of colonialism in Africa from China. I guess it’s ok if it’s non white and talks about communism.

This is a good example of Left Wing and Liberal propaganda. To comment on every piece of misinformation would require pages. The reason being the producer never stuck to a time line but jumped from the early 1960's to the 1980's and then the 1970's and it confuses the viewer. But the truth is, is the interference of the internation community in the internal matters of a Sovereign State caused what we now have on South Africa.
