Of course, eventually it became a bit racist, especially with Verwoerd. Apartheid was wrong, but not as wrong as the current government. Nelson Mandela AND F.W. De Klerk's hopes were: a South Africa where black and white could live together in peace. But instead, the ANC nowadays shits right in Mandela and De Klerk's faces. Ever since Jacob Zuma the ANC has been rewriting the history of South Africa to give everything a legal blame to Afrikaners. What if I told you that Mandela did not abolish apartheid? Viljoen started the process and De Klerk finished it. All Mandela did was reorganizing the government together with the NP's Frederik Willem de Klerk. What if I told you that there was an Afrikaner majority for the abolishment of Apartheid? Only in the north of Transvaal there was just above 50% of the whites who wanted Apartheid. If you dive deeper into Apartheid you will know that Apartheid is directly linked to the Second Boer War, British Colonialism and Imperialism and the decolonization. The Boers lived in relative peace with the black neighbours in their two internationally recognised republics: the South African Republic or Transvaal (ZAR) and Orange Free State. BecYse of diamonds and gold, y'know, blinky blinky, was there a Cecil Rhodes being extremely interested in conquering these two nations. The Boers tried to fight off the British, and were eventually succesful. But the British army was at least three times as large as the Boer Commandos. The Boer resistance was taking too long and as such Boer women, Children and elderly were imprisoned in concentration camps. The conditions in these camps were horrible. More people died in the camps then soldiers in the field. Way more. This small genocide of Boers was predicted by Siener van Rensburg as was many things that actually happened. The British Crown never apologized for the Boer genocide. AfriForum begged for it. Because it would mean that Great Britain would finally be accepting that their imperialism and colonialism brought this upon the native Boers. But Queen Elizabeth did not find it necessary to apologize for this terrible deed. Because many British soldiers died. Every Boer killed or wounded about 3½ British soldiers. I don't know exactly but Wikipedia knows. The Boer War was over, the Afrikaners had lost. Their houses and farms burned, their animals slaughtered. The British had lost too many soldiers in South Africa and as such Afrikaners got an important role in the new Union of South Africa. This is why the Van Riebeeckvlag is a Prinsenvlag with the British, OFS and ZAR flags. The ZAR flag would form the basis for the modern SA flag 🇿🇦. The British did not want the Boers to rebel and as such Afrikaans became an official language and Afrikaners got voting rights.

@@amirudinadnan7024 wrong…Afrikaans is a combination of various languages like Dutch,German,French,Portuguese and local languages that were combined in one Language Afrikaans.
In the apartheid times we were demeaned, killed, isolated, abused, sworn, assaulted, paid meagre wages, made to feel like visitors in our own land. Had we been considered and treated like any other human being then all of us would be living harmoniously. Get me clearly the ANC is destroying this beautiful and I also yearn for planning and job creation that was there during apartheid times but I hate the discrimination of predominantly black that happened. The ANC is in sixes and sevens and they lack expertise of running a country.
@@artificialanimeuniverse5063 The majority of us blacks are still living under abject poverty. Whites may think they gave the country back to blacks but such is merely a facade because only a few blacks enjoy the fruits of this country. There has been an increase on the number of the poor because whites have joined in as well. What we need as South Africans is each other and no politicians because they are greedy and selfish. Blacks, whites , indians and coloureds need each other to break the monopoly of these politicians.
The sad thing here, fellow hominids, is Nobody will understand until they live in Africa for themselves and experience what living in an ineptocracy is like for themselves. It's easy to pass judgment and demonize the decedents of colonists who did not choose to be born in Africa. How it is so easy to hate on these decedents, born into a county just as you were yourself. Long forgotten about by the European governments that sanctioned their colonization generations ago. Forsaken is the Afrikaner. The only way for people in Europe, USA, AUZ, etc, to truly understand this, is to live in South Africa for a couple of years. Without doing this, you will likely be swayed to demonize rather than empathize. - Remember to try and identify double standards, they are truly everywhere, and every single piece of info we are ever fed is engineered to persuade you towards a certain narrative.

South Africa was a great country hijacked by those who never understood the concept of a country and who never managed to create any form of civilisation of their own throughout their history.
Well it looks like a typical anglophone world’s megalopolis, like Melbourne, Montreal, and Vancouver, all cleaned and civilized with richness and discipline. What happened you South Africa?
South Africa until 1994: The only nuclear power in Africa, richest in Africa and 17th in the world economy, highly advanced medicine with the first successful organ transplant, very safe, one of the lowest taxes and one of the best for opening a business, had employment for all, strong fight against corruption, a one of the first countries to use information technology and robotics in the world. South Africa after 1994 and today: Despite the end of Apartheid it is the most unequal country in the world, the majority of the people live in extreme poverty, a destroyed and obsolete healthcare, very violent with robberies and riots, high taxes, high unemployment, extremely corrupt and outdated services.

It would be much better if they wanted to demonstrate the end of racism and segregation, instead of removing the flag, placing the flags of the Zulu Kingdom and the Xhosa Kingdom next to the flag, showing the British, Dutch and South African origins of the nation. Despite this, I think the best thing would be to keep the exact same blue, white and orange flag, without any alteration, over time it would be cleaned and the segregationists would be left without their own flag.

Pieter Willem Botha, although we know him as Die Groot Krokodil - "The Great Crocodile" - for his unwavering and uncompromising beliefs. He was arguably one of the best presidents in South African history.
From Wikipedia: "However, at a rugby union test match against New Zealand in 1992, the crowd spontaneously sang "Die Stem" during a moment of silence for victims of political violence in South Africa,[23] and although it was ostensibly agreed upon beforehand that it would not be played, an instrumental recording of "Die Stem" was played over the stadium's PA system's loudspeakers after the New Zealand national anthem was performed, and spectators sang along, sparking controversy afterwards." Now, after 30 years of so-called freedom, victims of crime during the last 30 years outnumber victims of political violence in the preceding 50 years by 10 to 1. I hope that the activist world that was the direct cause of the collapse of South Africa is proud of their achievements. May they all E.S.A.D.

It's close. Dutch is the basis for Afrikaans, which became a language in South Africa around 100 years ago. The Dutch people in Holland find it very easy to understand, but Afrikaans people have a little difficulty with pure Dutch.
As a Dutchman living in Spain, I left my country because of so many immigrants ruining my country. I wish the Afrikaners their freedom and luck in their mission to save their country

It partially did not. The current national anthem exists of the ANC anthem and Die Stem. Tho only parts of it. I personally prefer Die Stem over Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika because the last is copied all over Africa and isn't about pride for South Africa as nation but as Africa as a whole. Die Stem is way stronger if you ask me and it's still the Afrikaner anthem

@@madimetjamahlatse9270 I'm glad things panned out for you and to your advantage. My comments may come across extreme but it not the case. It's my opinion if the World had left us alone, our Country wouldn't be as devastated as it is currently. We knew that Apartheid wasn't sustainable and that Majority Rule was inevitable. That was why Apartheid changed to Seperate Development. The theory was that each of the 12 tribes in South Africa have their own State, something like the UK. But, with Angola coming to the fore and the Police in the Townships, vast financial resources were allocated to the Military. Also, with the Militant Blacks making trouble turned the heat up amongst the Whites as with the overseas propagander etc, the Communist World pushing through the UN that Apartheid was a Crime against Humanity but it was their agenda to get their hands on the Minerals here down South, nothing more. I believe that we would have taught the Majority a work ethic that is lacking in todays labour market. Everything that has occured, from the destruction of all Government Departments to SAA, Denel etc and all the Municipalities could have been prevented as the people would have been taught a work morality similar to the Whites who built the Super Power of Africa. But thats how the cookie crumbs, all those young people whom perished on both sides could have prevented. Have a good evening and Pray for our Country because it's in a fine mess and getting worse.

This is coming from a coloured perspective. In the apartheid times we lived better than today. One of those things that are just the way it is.
In the apartheid times we were demeaned, killed, isolated, abused, sworn, assaulted, paid meagre wages, made to feel like visitors in our own land. Had we been considered and treated like any other human being then all of us would be living harmoniously. Get me clearly the ANC is destroying this beautiful and I also yearn for planning and job creation that was there during apartheid times but I hate the discrimination of predominantly black that happened. The ANC is in sixes and sevens and they lack expertise of running a country.

@@artificialanimeuniverse5063 The majority of us blacks are still living under abject poverty. Whites may think they gave the country back to blacks but such is merely a facade because only a few blacks enjoy the fruits of this country. There has been an increase on the number of the poor because whites have joined in as well. What we need as South Africans is each other and no politicians because they are greedy and selfish. Blacks, whites , indians and coloureds need each other to break the monopoly of these politicians.
@@musasabelo2192 Aha
Completely agree 💯
Finally some words of wisdom
Thank you for that. My black housekeeper says the same thing.
The sad thing here, fellow hominids, is Nobody will understand until they live in Africa for themselves and experience what living in an ineptocracy is like for themselves.
It's easy to pass judgment and demonize the decedents of colonists who did not choose to be born in Africa.
How it is so easy to hate on these decedents, born into a county just as you were yourself. Long forgotten about by the European governments that sanctioned their colonization generations ago. Forsaken is the Afrikaner.
The only way for people in Europe, USA, AUZ, etc, to truly understand this, is to live in South Africa for a couple of years. Without doing this, you will likely be swayed to demonize rather than empathize.
- Remember to try and identify double standards, they are truly everywhere, and every single piece of info we are ever fed is engineered to persuade you towards a certain narrative.

South Africa was a great country hijacked by those who never understood the concept of a country and who never managed to create any form of civilisation of their own throughout their history.

One of if not the only livable country in South Africa. I wonder what else stood out about it…
cANCer
South Africa until 1994: The only nuclear power in Africa, richest in Africa and 17th in the world economy, highly advanced medicine with the first successful organ transplant, very safe, one of the lowest taxes and one of the best for opening a business, had employment for all, strong fight against corruption, a one of the first countries to use information technology and robotics in the world.
South Africa after 1994 and today: Despite the end of Apartheid it is the most unequal country in the world, the majority of the people live in extreme poverty, a destroyed and obsolete healthcare, very violent with robberies and riots, high taxes, high unemployment, extremely corrupt and outdated services.
Ons vir jou Suid Afrika!!!

@@venomlink2033 Everything
White people know how to govern a country.
It would be much better if they wanted to demonstrate the end of racism and segregation, instead of removing the flag, placing the flags of the Zulu Kingdom and the Xhosa Kingdom next to the flag, showing the British, Dutch and South African origins of the nation. Despite this, I think the best thing would be to keep the exact same blue, white and orange flag, without any alteration, over time it would be cleaned and the segregationists would be left without their own flag.
Pragtig!

@@boeloevanboeloefontein I still have two handtekenings from him after having asked for from Germany by letter in the 1980s..
From Wikipedia: "However, at a rugby union test match against New Zealand in 1992, the crowd spontaneously sang "Die Stem" during a moment of silence for victims of political violence in South Africa,[23] and although it was ostensibly agreed upon beforehand that it would not be played, an instrumental recording of "Die Stem" was played over the stadium's PA system's loudspeakers after the New Zealand national anthem was performed, and spectators sang along, sparking controversy afterwards."
Now, after 30 years of so-called freedom, victims of crime during the last 30 years outnumber victims of political violence in the preceding 50 years by 10 to 1. I hope that the activist world that was the direct cause of the collapse of South Africa is proud of their achievements. May they all E.S.A.D.
Botha!!! RIP broeder...

It's close. Dutch is the basis for Afrikaans, which became a language in South Africa around 100 years ago. The Dutch people in Holland find it very easy to understand, but Afrikaans people have a little difficulty with pure Dutch.

Why did SA not live up to that Anthem?! Listen to the lyrics
It partially did not. The current national anthem exists of the ANC anthem and Die Stem. Tho only parts of it. I personally prefer Die Stem over Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika because the last is copied all over Africa and isn't about pride for South Africa as nation but as Africa as a whole. Die Stem is way stronger if you ask me and it's still the Afrikaner anthem
SA then had all the potential, but none of the sense. A massive game of "How can we alienate most of the people in this country, and somehow not have it blow up in our faces".
Not at all, if the rest of the World let us South Africans find solutions for our own internal situation we would be all be sitting in paradise now.

Things like roads and hospitals in that area were none existent during apartheid for the majority..

But apartheid made life easier for whites no the rest...
I live in a newly developed suburb... If i was apartheid I wouldn't be able to live here or have the position I have today.. My kids wouldnt go to the school they go to.. And the actual learn southern sotho instead of being forced to learn afrikaans..

@@madimetjamahlatse9270 I'm glad things panned out for you and to your advantage. My comments may come across extreme but it not the case. It's my opinion if the World had left us alone, our Country wouldn't be as devastated as it is currently. We knew that Apartheid wasn't sustainable and that Majority Rule was inevitable. That was why Apartheid changed to Seperate Development. The theory was that each of the 12 tribes in South Africa have their own State, something like the UK. But, with Angola coming to the fore and the Police in the Townships, vast financial resources were allocated to the Military. Also, with the Militant Blacks making trouble turned the heat up amongst the Whites as with the overseas propagander etc, the Communist World pushing through the UN that Apartheid was a Crime against Humanity but it was their agenda to get their hands on the Minerals here down South, nothing more. I believe that we would have taught the Majority a work ethic that is lacking in todays labour market. Everything that has occured, from the destruction of all Government Departments to SAA, Denel etc and all the Municipalities could have been prevented as the people would have been taught a work morality similar to the Whites who built the Super Power of Africa. But thats how the cookie crumbs, all those young people whom perished on both sides could have prevented. Have a good evening and Pray for our Country because it's in a fine mess and getting worse.
