. . .
Note, the total population is 63 million.
So, this is a solid THIRD of the pop that'll likely
die without "free money".
Just saying ... this looks like a DYING country.
The old Afrikaners, nasty as they were, ran
things better.
Better under Apartheid? REALLY?
Depends on your def of "better".
No, YOUR definition.
More Wealth/Org ... yep, the old regime
really DID do it better. Today's SA is
As long as you were WHITE.
Though the racism was nasty, seems things
were STILL better overall for 'blacks' too.
More money, better org, less crime. Today's
SA is falling apart - and it's getting VERY
ugly whether you're 'white' 'black' or
Martian 'green'.
Cite required. Make sure it addresses some of these
points
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid
"compelling people to live in separate places defined
by race"
"he Population Registration Act of 1950, which
formalised racial classification and introduced an
identity card for all persons over the age of 18,
specifying their racial group"
"the Group Areas Act of 1950.[65] Until then, most
settlements had people of different races living
side by side. This Act put an end to diverse areas
and determined where one lived according to race.
Each race was allotted its own area, which was used
in later years as a basis of forced removal. The
Prevention of Illegal Squatting Act of 1951 allowed
the government to demolish black shanty town slums
and forced white employers to pay for the
construction of housing for those black workers who
were permitted to reside in cities otherwise reserved
for whites. The Native Laws Amendment Act, 1952
centralised and tightened pass laws so that blacks
could not stay in urban areas longer than 72 hours
without a permit"
"The Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act of 1949
prohibited marriage between persons of different
races, and the Immorality Act of 1950 made sexual
relations between whites and other races a criminal
offence."
"Black people were not allowed to run businesses
or professional practices in areas designated as
"white South Africa" unless they had a permit..."
"Police vans patrolled white areas to round up
blacks without passes. Black people were not
allowed to employ whites in white South Africa."
https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid
"apartheid, policy that governed relations
between South Africa’s white minority and
nonwhite majority for much of the latter half
of the 20th century, sanctioning racial
segregation and political and economic
discrimination against nonwhites."
"Separate educational standards were established
for nonwhites. The Bantu Education Act (1953)
provided for the creation of state-run schools,
which Black children were required to attend,
with the goal of training the children for the
manual labour and menial jobs that the government
deemed suitable for those of their race. "
etc
Come on cupcake, back up your claims apartheid
was good for blacks
