Plain and simple its the whites who did better than blacks
Israel
Racism i experience it everyday in everyway possible
what role did the green agenda play in load shedding?
When run by whites, it was efficient. Corrupt and incompetent blacks has destroyed it.
amazing video
South Africa have solved political apartheid, but not so much of the economic apartheid that was a leftover of the Apartheid regime.
As long as capitalism is still the system practiced, SA will more likely never solve the wealth disparity between race.
Bull shit.
The only thing that has change after apartheid was that rich whites were allowed to keep their wealth and lands and a few thousands leaders of ANC and their followers became richer, they horde what was left for themselves and everyone else remain poor.
Most of the negative comments come from people who don't understand the full picture. This video is not about black or white people it about realizing we(South africans) are in this sinking ship together.
It basic logic black people problems are white people problems and white people people problems are black people problems. The inequality plays a major part in all the issues we experiencing.
Just because you doing ok doesn't mean everyone is well too. For South Africa to improve inequality must be reduced.
Unfortunately, you seem to be poorly informed on the South African situation. When was the last time you were here?
White folks aren't able to get jobs due to BBBEE policies. You also didn't touch on the MASSIVELY high taxes that, especially the rich, pay to live here. Please have a closer look at the Zuma and Ramaphosa presidencies and the harm that their governments have perpetuated on RSA.
Thank you for highlighting Zuma's State Capture. But, you seem to have forgotten that the ANC were in power for 30 years. They had the capacity to develop the electrical and water systems. Hopefully, our coalition government now will get things done and not LOOT our taxes.
White areas? Most of the people living in the cities are black folks. Please keep in mind that white folks are a VERY small minority here.
Please look at the land reform policies – folks have been compensated for land or give the land back that was taken from them during Apartheid.. Also, we have a MAJOR problem with immigrants from Zim, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland to South Africa. Many of them occupy large portions of the townships.
Nigeria is up and coming.
Politically connected people have an excellent life here.
How is it that it began to become a banana republic after the whites left it to the blacks?
I can see the bias in this video they completely failed to mention that a large reason for South Africa's poverty is that the ANC is communist!
Oh yay the 1000th video so nice😂
The ANC lost it's majority so I have hope things will be better.
you all are racist you are jealous because south africa is going to a brighter future 😡
Let's test your knowledge or ignorance about South Africa (apart from the standard script that was written for it 40 years ago, or so, slightly updated to mention new facts it's not possible to ignore, but without giving these their full weight).
1. What is the population of the Northern Cape?
2. (You can add the Western Cape to that, and the Free State, but if you check this fact and then look at your map early on in the video, you'll see that whatever you saw there was all in your own mind.)
It doesn't help, making excuses for those who had Agency through all these years – the government.
Fortunately the electorate looks to be through with accepting their excuses and is finally starting to exercise the kind of peoples democratic power that can turn this mess around, without any resort to foreign expertise (of the kind that stares fixedly at its own academic mirror/ recipe for passing the Econ exam of long ago, and doesn't dig into the facts).
Inequality is a fact, and a problem, yes.
It's also a narrative – a story for story time, generally written for little children. Just follow the directives behind the narrative, and it all ends Happily Ever After.
It's both of these things. Also a great excuse and a great procrastination tool for avoiding the painful decisions that go with the first steps to dance this mess around (as the B52's might put it).
Whatever the big overall patterns and the long term measures of success are, the short term course corrections we need are pretty simple. Start to actually do something about corruption (and an expensive enquiry that comes back and says, "Yes, it looks like there actually is corruption" doesn't count as doing something). Doing something means that some of the piggies with their snouts in the trough need to be made to give back what they've stolen. This is how you begin to get the next feeding shift at the trough to keep their snouts away from it.
And then on to the next specific problem.
If you think it can all be solved by just making equality happen (very interesting to those not actually being boiled and stirred in that test tube, I suppose), even in that case you don't have an obvious solution, because a redistribution of everything is well known to be a massive corruption opportunity. Just ask Vladolf Putler how his gang got so rich if you don't believe me.
Is South Africa a hopeless case, yet? We'll see. There's a new government. There should be less opportunities for egregious corruption than before. It's early days, but probably the best expectation to have right now is a cautious, but real optimism. Kind of like in '94, before it started to become clear that things were not going to go well as the worst Ministers started to misrule.
If you blame the government then you clearly did not understand this presentation. Especially the first 2minutes of the video.
Why are they so dramatic about the Israel and Palestinian conflict pandering to China n russia. The histrionic is hypocritical.
Can't blame the yt folk now
In Africa is always somebody fault, look at Haiti they didn't want the "white men" look at them now, in the lowest, need to stop this race sht, u black u white or whatever, need to work together, stop this oohh with just want our people in power mentality bc as u can see that didn't help a lot the country in 30 years
Westerners have been singing this song for 30 years now and the country is still not doing as bad as they want it to
It's all reminds me Soviet Union and modern day Russia fanboys blaming evils of Tzarism and WW2 for the current day problems ignoring the corruption, nepotism and poplism
South Africa is slowly going the way of Zimbabwe
No court cases after the Zondo comission
As a black south african I'd like to give you a massive congratulations on how accurate this video is. You covered all of the key areas that keep most south africans poor. Thank you.
