Can anyone explain why South Africa has reverted to a state of endemic barbarity?

Why did the Rainbow Nation fail?

>attempt to undo the effects of an oppressive government by removing all of the previous government's officials from the civil service
>those people were the only people who knew how to run a country

The same thing happened in West Germany during denazification and Iraq during Baathification.

Also, it instantly became a one party state because it's kind of hard to top giving 80% of the country the vote.

>South Africa has reverted to a state of endemic barbarity

[citation needed]

South Africa was always pretty shitty and still is, but the crime rate is as low as it has ever been, and the economy continues to grow.

Many South African white civil servants weren't removed from their positions or allowed to remain. Many state companies were privatized heavily diue to influence from international organization as well.

SA always had huge problems during it's lifespan if you read up on it's history and the states that it was made up of.

its an infant nation and i think judging it against developed nations is a poor way to measure its progress or sucess

what was america like when it was a nation less than 50 years old?

The rapid development of slums were due to the interests of private businesses and the Apartheid government clashing head on.

The latter wanted separateness while the former wanted access to cheap labour because dumping all the B&C's in rurals areas or reserves were they can't have access to jobs in the cities would cut heavily into their profits and eon of the befits of apartheid which was a huge underclass to have massive labor from like how China has a huge poor class of people to extract labor from and no labor laws (I think B&C's could not unionize in SA or had any workers rights but I may be confusing it for another state with different people).

...

Lol, dude, murder is so common everyone knows a guy who has been killed.

Not one where whites had to entrench themselves.

Yes, the crime rate is high. And it's as low as its ever been. What part do you not understand?

I like how blacks there are called ghouls. It's pretty goddamn perfect.

You what do you mean.

That's not true though. Apartheid South Africa had a lower murder rate than Italy did in the 80's. That completely changed once Mandela left office.

White people existing

Open border policy

The whole truth and reconciliation deal could have worked between South Africans, but now the slums are filled with African economic migrants and crime rates are through the roof

Another thing is that Zuma is basically working up to be Mugabe MKII

Instead of adressing critical issues like immigration and infrastructure, the ANC is singing 'Kill the Boer' while making black quotas at jobs and soon forcibly taking land from Afrikaans at a 'fair price'.

The crime rate of South Africa skyrocketed after the fall of the Apartheid and it's still absurdly high.
The economy is collapsing completely and most cities, even the larger ones, suffer from complete blackouts since the government is extremely incompetent and raids to the network are very common.
The Boer were and still are being killed by the thousands or forced to run away, and those that stay live in extreme fear.
Even the Zulu king says the country is doomed and that it was better for both sides under the Apartheid.
Do not delude yourself with the propaganda, since to the western world seeing the country that overthrew the "ebil apertheid" being hell on earth is not convinient

B&Cs were unionised. Weirdly, in SA during apartheid labour laws were one of the few segments of law blacks could access reasonably fairly, and activists used these pretty effectively.

In fact my dad, a white shop steward, extracted a reasonably fair deal from a high profile employer for his members by threatening to affiliate with a militant black union.

think about the chalanges....south africa didnt exsist before europeans created it, you have strong legacy of opression and brutality, of ghetoization, enforced poverty, reduced access to education.....south africa came into being phenominaly broken with a vast sea of challenges

How is it not blacks causing the problems? They are the ones committing the crimes, confiscating the property, failing to effectively perform the jobs that whites have been forced out of (see Eskom), voting in a communist party election after election and generally causing disharmony. Without whites the economy would be completely screwed and I do mean completely. There would be an immediate collapse of infrastructure, banks would collapse, FDI flows (on which SA is dependant for economic growth) would dry up.

>Without whites
without whites this situation never would have happened ....maybe if theydidnt brutalized the region, plundere its wealth, institute systems of segragation etc we wouldnt have such a fucked up population strugleing to govern itself

>brutalized the region
stopped tribes from fighting each other
>plundered its wealth
is that why South Africa still has such large reserves of precious minerals?
>segregation
i'll concede that one, but by your logic, with the end of segregation they should have started to move towards equality.

Your only parallel to non colonial intervention is Ethiopia, which is a shithole compared to South Africa.

British were actually very good colonizers unlike what some think. Just compare northern Somalia (Somaliland) to the south, or better yet; Tanzania to DRC.

>with the end of segregation they should have started to move towards equality.
with what resources tho? economic power and resources were focused in the white population, education was largely a privilage of the whites, government positions had been held by whites.....you have a population with no practical experience running a large nation, largely poor, lacking sufficient acess to higher education

>very good colonizers
no such thing....this is like saying good thiefs, or rapists, or murderers.....european colonialisms did only unintentional good as the systems it put in place were not intended for the benafit of locals but for the imperial machine

Bantustans weren't considered in the stats for SA at the time weren't they?

Dude British Somalia was shit compared to Italian Somalia . Only when Somalia collapsed did it become anything resembling decency

>Brits show up
>Keep population uneducated, and below second class citizen tier
>Create shitty infrastructure to extract raw materials
>Immediately leave, and just leave a bunch of illiterate miners to run the country you've haphazardly cobbled together to get some metal
>Wonder how it falls apart after you're gone, and say you did a good job

>stopped tribes from fighting each other

Then started fighting with said tribes both black and white and oppressing them. Hint the Brits trying to anglicize Afrikaners had an effect in their politics and beliefs.
