South Africa has definitely not progressed under the ANC. Corruption, nepotism, bribery, fraud, violence, lawlessness et al, is the new South Africa

Um. Nelson Mandela had more to do with the abolition of apartheid in South Africa than Mahatma Ghandi! Give him his credit!

zlarxiam, The word you're thinking of is indigenous. Aboriginal is used incorrectly here.

albeit for the most part factually true, the history post here is highly opinionated. If you truly want to understand the success of the newly appointed government system, speak with members of the South African nation. Still long strides to go.

Player #190959, It was NOT their land to begin with and then to go into another's country and commit so many atrocities based on their perverse belief that the color of their skin made them superior and gave them the right to murder, steal land, enslave and systematically try to destroy the true people of south Africa what they got was nothing. If they had any morality whatsoever they would well never been there and created apartheid. look up how the government used drugs in order to control the masses. there is obviously something missing in your soul (do you have one?) to even write such an uneducated racist statement

babyangel1432, Don't be ridiculous. Reverse apartheid? Last time I was in SA I can recall seeing any signs saying 'blacks only'. Can't recall any whites being denied the vote. Didn't see any whites being forceably removed from their homes and made to live in townships. Didn't see white school children being massacred in the street by police. Things are not perfect in SA but to suggest that it's worse than when 90% of the population had virtually no rights is both offensive and idiotic

He, like many historical figures had his flaws, that doesn't necessarily detract from the good he accomplished. He was a product of his environment.

There's nothing good about living in poverty. Why does anyone take credit for settling it when people were already there. You took it like everything else.

The problems faced by SA are common to many countries/people who were marginalized. You can’t expect governance and rule of law from people who have been denied that and treated like animals for generations. There is no history of good governance to follow. The US is now trying to abandon good governance and be like that kind of country.

NoMoHos4Me, mate you will find the term aboriginal means original people thus indigenous… Although it’s used mostly to refer to the Australian indigenous people. Don’t believe me look it up.

NoMoHos4Me, aboriginal with a lower case a can be applied to any indigenous people. When used with an upper case A then it means the indigenous people of Australia

pandaski1953, this is completely false. Aboriginal is a negative word, it means to abhor the original. Go and study the dictionary. Really silly to say that ghandi had anything to do it liberation of S.A. ghandi was an ignorant racist against blacks and a slave puppy to the whites.

it was almost no different than how North America treated nonwhites going back to when they first stepped onto our land. There's racism, violence, there's unjust governments. The list goes on! You can name pretty much any country and you will see the same thing.

South Africa has descended into complete corruption and its peoples are cruelly exploited. Having lived there for 50 years and being an anti apartheid supporter I am deeply saddened that SA has not succeeded in becoming Nelson Mandela's rainbow nation. Cry, my beloved country.
