Trevor McDonald Explores The History Of South Africa's Apartheid | Our History

Ойын-сауық

To mark what would have been Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday in 2018, Sir Trevor McDonald is back in the country where he conducted one of television's most historic interviews.
Subscribe to Our History: bit.ly/3v5mKBG
Nearly three decades after they met in the immediate aftermath of Mandela's release, Trevor returns to explore South Africa - hearing the stories of very different people who sum up a nation changed beyond all recognition since his first reports from the country in the mid-1980s - today a very different nation no doubt, but is it still a land of division and extremes? What has become of the Rainbow Nation?

    Love from the United States. I find South Africa an intriguing country with rich diversity. Many of us here in the United States drew a lot of comparison to our past of racial segregation and inequality and saw Nelson Mandela heralded as a peacemaker. Unfortunately, in both of our countries, there's still a lot of work to be done. Some parts of the U.S. are more segregated now than they were 30 years ago. Having grown up in Memphis, Tennessee back in the 90's, I have seen first hand things actually getting worse. But it's not all bad. I live in Atlanta now. In the wake of the George Floyd protests, I saw a lot of white, Black, Hispanic, and Asian people come together to stand for justice. Not everyone in this country is asleep.

    50 years from now the history books on South Africa will simply read: “European colonists first settled on a permanent basis in 1652 and established a society based on a European model. However, unlike other settlements in America, Australia and New Zealand, the colonists always remained a minority and their government was eventually overthrown in 1994 by the majority of indigenous people. Subsequent to that transition, the country quickly regained the system of governance it had prior to colonisation. In such a system, regional and tribal strongmen rule without accountability amassing large personal wealth with no tolerance for opposition. Consequently, development stalled and the standard of living, life expectancy, per capita income, and literacy levels all declined for the broader population.”

I was tilled not to talk about a Pacific race & I was tilled that minoritys in SA are no longer to say south Africans, we to call south Africa Africans. I took a class at college here & one of my English reading book was talking about Apartheid and what the apartheid government did to the majority in Africa and it was shoking. I have no control over Africa. Nor did I had eney control of what happened in SA. Since me and my siblings were teenagers. We didn't think about politics we was just kids. So in this reading class that I took at college here in America was talking about the reconciliation programs that they started in SA after the fall of apartheid. I was in a class-room with all kids different efnisities. The class was for kids to learn English language and since English was my second language, since I had to take a test in English so they can figure out where or what English class I needed to take. Not only was the black Foulks treated Batley in sa. Some white folks also didn't get the Freedom that they was supposed to get. As you can see for your self, I am still struggling with English language and I was wiped with a wooden spoon on my hand for every misspelled word that I spelled wrong in English class in sa.

    The root cause of all the problems and inequality in South Africa are very simple: 1) When the Dutch arrived in 1652 they encountered people who were still living in the Iron Age. By contrast, the first University in the Netherlands opened in Leiden in 1575. Bologna in 1088 was the first in Europe. 2) There was an obvious difference in development between the Europeans and Africans. Could this development gap be overcome? 3) Possibly, but in SA the population grew from 15,2m in 1955 to 59m in 2020 with the vast majority being black. That is growth of 43,8m people or 288%. 4) The tax base in SA is simply too small to lift millions of people out of poverty. 5.8% of the population is paying approximately 92% of all personal tax and they are also paying about 85% of all VAT. Mathematically, it is impossible. 5) These are gigantic problems and the ANC is not able to solve them. In fact it is getting worse and the load shedding is just evidence of the inability of the ANC government. 6) Add to that unbridled corruption, open borders with an influx of foreigners, an inability to tackle crime and an education system which provides sub standard results, even the biggest ANC supporters have to admit that they can't blame everything on Apartheid.

    This is spot on, indeed. South Africa's gigantic's problems are perpetuated by an enormous development gap between the country's main race groups and an insufficient tax base to tackle these issues. And to be honest, I don't see a way out of this conundrum. For sure, the ANC is completely corrupt and has nothing but a kleptocracy to offer. But neither do I see how a non-corrupt government could solve South Africa's problems. The tax base is simply too small.

    @@rafaelw8115 You’re gaslighting, probably for militant political reasons. Jan never said that every single white person is more intelligent than every single black person. That would be a ludicrous and racist thing to say. What Jan did say, however, was that when the Dutch came into contact with the Khoi San on 6 April 1652, it was a Renaissance culture meeting a people that where still living in the Iron Age. Even though the Europeans would eventually meet other, more developed tribes such as the Zulu and the Xhosa, it can’t be denied that the Europeans as a group were far more advanced (in terms of science, technology, engineering, philosophy, arts, literature, music, poetry, etc.) than any of the African tribes they encountered. That’s not to say the Europeans were better people, or that black South Africans deserved to be discriminated. But this huge gap in human development does explain in part why it’s been so difficult for these two race groups to coexist in the same country. And to be honest, I’m afraid the situation is almost hopeless for all of the reasons explained by Jan.

    He should explore the present state of apartheid in South Africa, where the ANC, the ruling 'Africanist' party, has re-legislated the most draconian forms of apartheid in the form of black economic empowerment, affirmative action, employment equity and quotas, where 'whites' are excluded from universities, employment, supplier chain contracts, national sports teams, and even, most recently, farmers have to meet black ownership targets - up to 75% - to have access to river water for irrigation.

As human nature is to control others and lift their own selves and family over others. Total power and control corrupts totally. Some socialist ideas make sense but only in the context of a free opportunity society. A level playing field where everyone contributes flat unavailable tax. Everyone can have opportunities no matter rich or poor.
