Unpopular opinion; africans have hard time accepting south africa is a diverse and multiracial country.
So online people are always complaining.. how can they kickout fellow black africans when they have white people. but the whites, and Indians we have hundreds years of history fighting one another and decided to sign treaties to create the union of south africa which is multi cultural and multiracial...heck even ANC is non racial party. blacks, Indians, whites and coloured. But seems like other africans want us to do a Sir Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin by kicking out racial minority of industry makers.Then if we don't want to make the same mistakes south africans are labeled anti african or xenophobic?
The most popular argument now is that africans ended apartheid and how can we be so ungrateful but the reality why apartheid end, is this...if you follow the money. Running the apartheid state became too expensive yes cause sanctions also but apartheid government still laundered the gold in Switzerland to run the racist apartheid policies.
The main culprit was south africa went from being number one gold producer in the world in the 1980s to facing a lot competition for the gold market. Therefore couldn't afford to police the apartheid government and segregation was too expensive. So they voted to end the racial apartheid policies.
"In 1980, South Africa produced an astonishing 70% of the Western world's gold. Because they controlled the market, they had massive leverage. But during the 1980s, higher global prices in previous years spurred massive new mining operations in countries like the US, Canada, and Australia. By 1989, South Africa's share of global production plummeted to just 37%. They could no longer dictate global terms or rely on gold to bail them out"
