    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    20:42 Die sind aber ganz schön am schunkeln^^ Deutsche Gemütlichkeit/German comfortableness. I love my people so much! Got relatives down there and they had to sell their farm in the 90s and subsequently moved to Swakopmund. They always send a package with beer. Used to be Hans Drought or Windhoek but now they send home brew. One of my cousins tries to buy some farmland again with an Afrikaner he met @ his work place but the prices are way too high!

    such a pity the US turned their back on South Africa, if US didnt put pressure on SA government to withdraw from Angola in 1975 SA would of taken over Angola, i was there on the border in 1977 for 5 months, and spent many months again after that doing 3 three-month camps, not everything being told here is the truth, lets say 90 % is the truth, i was there also in Dec 1978 when SWA held elections, we had to protect of the school buildings being used as voting stations, so many lies were told to us SA citizens,

    i also did my one-year national service ,from june 1976 to july 1977, then we had to do 5 90 day camps and 3 30 day camps, but i was luck i o ly did 2 90 day camps and 2 30 day camps, yes but i didn't want to go to the army as i was against the apartheid regime and am until today saying it was an evil thing, but yes it was the USA that turned their backs on the country back in 1975 when the army was about to enter Luanda Angola, Then USA warned the government if they take over they withdraw all their support, my great grandfather on my father's side was born in Germany and moved to South Africa around 1850,just for some information, still have Hofmeyr family in Germany but have never met them, @@AlexanderBogdanow

    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.

    not everything being told here is the truth, i myself was in the SA army from 1976 to 1977, i spent 5 months in 1977 on the Angola /SWA border, we were in control of the bush war, during 1975 SA troops were about to enter Launda and then US warned the apartheid regime that if thy enter and take over the city they will withdraw their support, very few people know that the US was supporting the war, if Russia and China never supported the war for black troops SA would of still been in Angola and SWA, or if Russai China never helped the Angola troops,
