South Africa votes in election 30 years after end of apartheid | BBC News


Next week South Africans head to the polls, 30 years on from the nations first democratic election.

That election back in 1994 followed decades of a brutal and racist apartheid regime.

The BBC’s special correspondent Fergal Keane was reporting there at the time and has returned to the county to see what has changed and what…

  1. This is the prove that black people cant govern ! Maybe is time to comeback to white government ? As 30 years of black govern showing failure !

  2. You put black people in white continent. They yell racism. You put white people in black continent. they still yelling racism. The best way to avoid racism is to not strive for multiracial society. All ethnic groups thrive in homogenous society.

  3. I M NO WHITE BUT IF WHITE WAS IN WAS IN POWER THIS COUNTRY IS A SUPERPOWER TODAY BUT THE WHITE PEOPLE BACK THEN WAS SO RACIST IMAGINE WHITE AND BLACK SOUTHAFRICAN WORKING TO GETTER LIKE USA

  4. "…I'm not going to vote. I'm staying home"

  5. I am Zambian.This news report has touched me a lot. It explains so much about the reality not only in South Africa but sub Saharan Africa at large. GOD BLESS Cynthia and her family. It is high time leaders start to value the people in their country than themselves. Corruption is a virus in Africa and it needs to be dealt with using legitimacy, truthfulness,transparency and cooperation for it to stop affecting many lives. What a great news report. GOD BLESS AFRICA.

  6. The ANC have been on power so long, that they now have their own legacy and on every metric, is worse than the atrocities of apartheid. go look at the data. murdering people and doing nothing about crime which results in murders is 2 sides of the same coin. so how many people have the ANC murdered because of incompetence? how many people have the ANC denied health care because of incompetence. how many people have the ANC denied education because of their incompetence? against how many people have the ANC discriminated against because of the color of their skin? Let's not even mention how many billions were looted.

  7. Well, they've completely ruined the country. This is a perfect example of why democracy sometimes doesnt work with certain people in certain countries. The south african culture is just not suited for democracy

  8. 30 years on, and things are different yet still such a mess.😢
    I was just going to go cast my vote on Wednesday without thinking about it, but when you remind me it's 30 years, and me being born in the freedom year, I think I need to make a bigger deal about this special year's vote😊 maybe.🙃

  9. 30 years after apartheid, and South Africa is worse off than ever. Almost like that policy was doing something. Similar situation in "Zimbabwe".
