    Bom e raro registro.
    O auge do regime segregacionista da África do Sul foi nos anos 60 e 70.
    E com um boom econômico que beneficiou todo o país, TODO o país, repetindo.
    No entanto após a queda de países amigos como Moçambique e Rhodesia, além do fim do padrão ouro-dolar no sistema monetário internacional em 1971, a economia do país foi severamente atingida e não voltou a ter o ótimo desempenho de antes, entrando em crise crônica nos anos 80.
    Sem contar a disparada definitiva dos preços do petróleo, que a África do Sul sempre foi dependente.
    Logo, não seria mais possível manter um estado policial por tanto tempo, com gastos em defesa crescendo exponencialmente, bem como o peso das sanções internacionais.
    Nisso, o fim da Urss em 1991 ajudou e muito pra que a transição para o pós-apartheid sem uma guerra civil fosse possível na Afr. Do Sul e além disso, pode se salvar a Namibia dando lhe independência sem a mesma cair como foi com Angola e Zimbabwe por ex.
    Que o país boer se reerga e volte a ser uma terra de prosperidade

      Well considering the black majority was systematically hunted, killed, and psychologically beat down and broken over several generations, so of course they're going to break, burn, and steal stuff. That's a causation from prior racist treatment, and exclusion from progressing up the socio-economic-politicot ladder.

  • @etnarongiselva8361
    @etnarongiselva8361 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Good and rare record.
    The heyday of South Africa's segregationist regime was 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 such as 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 spike in oil prices, which South Africa has always been dependent on.
    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 regard, the end of the USSR in 1991 helped a lot to make the transition to post-apartheid without a civil war possible in the AFR. From the South and beyond, Namibia can be saved by giving it independence without it falling as it was with Angola and Zimbabwe for example.
    May the Boer country rise again and become a land of prosperity.

Black people grew from 11 million in the 60's apartheid era, to about 85 million in the freedom era. White people (Colonialists) reduced their numbers from less than 11 million in the 60's to less than 8 million in the Freedom era. The hunger, mismanagement, corruption ans crime is now much more wide-spread in South Africa than what it was in the 60's, bur Africa is now becoming Africa again.....which is a good thing.
