Why is South Africa still broke?

[Anonymous]

Africa has a bunch of resources. I am surprised the continent is still so poor. Thank God I don't live in South Africa.

Have you ever seen a black government lead successfully? Maybe only Barbados is the only exception.

Black people are too selfish and have to big of an ego. In Africa there's a lot of tribalism for one. Politicians only care about benefiting their own tribe and stuffing their pockets, and they're too focused on revenge and trying to proof a point. Black nationalism has also destroyed the continent, because they refuse to swallow their pride. They prefer their people to live in poverty, than acknowledge their short comings. They'd rather destroy everything European, instead of seeing the good things and building off of them. The ANC literally fired experienced White farmers and engeneers and replaced them with incompitent blacks. They care too much about revenge even if it's at the expense of their owm people. They want to kick all the Europeans out of Africa, but at the same time want money from then, and when you give it to them, they just blow it. They have no concept of investing or saving.

I think this Chinese guy sums up Africa's problems perfectly

Gonna go with legacy of apartheid on that one...

I think the ANC and the EFF are Anti-White racist. Apartheid was definitely a problem, but it is racist in general in South Africa.

The ANC didn't do anything after they liberated the country. It only hired people who were loyal to the ANC which is why their electricity goes out 6 hours a day.

Unlike the USA they actually have unqualified people in the government hired based on their loyalty to the ANC.

There is a difference between being an activist and actually running a country.

Excellent explanation. Pepper doesn't think, he just emotes. He also doesn't listen. It doesn't occur to leftists that their fellow leftists are racist and corrupt. The Marxist ANC has had three decades to run South Africa into the ground and that's what they've done.

by the way, Pepper, your corrupt friends in the ANC hate Jews. What a surprise...

[DrPepper12]

Actually I agree. The anc is corrupt and blew their chance.

[NoDecision]

Because they have a lot of dictators who use the money for their own enrichment.

[Agape93]

Because it's a shitty country with a lot of shitty people.

[Asker]

You summed it up perfectly.

Its government after Mr. Mandela's single term has been a kleptocracy which hasn't come close to trying to solve the problems apartheid left it. Two-thirds of black South Africans are poor because of their centuries-long dispossession, and even an honest government might take at least another century to complete alleviate South Africa's suffering.

[KostasKouvalis]

For once I agree with you, except the part about blacks being poor because of centuries long dispossision. Blacks aren't the only racial group that's suffering.

If things stay like they currently are, it might take even longer than a century.

If the Whites had remained in power, South Africa would be a first world nation already.
I agree that Appartheid should've ended, but the blacks should have never been given control of the government.

[beefcakebradybatson]

@KostasKouvalis Why not? They're EIGHTY or more or percent of the population. So, your white supremacist, KKK a** belives whites should rule blacks? How Trumplike of you, boyo !!!

[KostasKouvalis]

So you'd rather have them living in poverty? What a stupid mentality!
El Salvador is Hispanic and their president is an Arab and is doing a wonderful job. And Muslim Senegal had a Christian and was doing fine. Sometimes the minority knows best. Just because they're a minority, doesn't mean they will oppress the majority.
But this is literally already happening in Africa. Tribal minorities become presidents and only help their own tribes. The days of Appartheid is over so at least White people would help everyone.
Blacks are better at sports and entertainment, Whites are better at governing. This is simply a FACT! The statistics don't lie.

Also, it's hilarious how you're so opposed to minority rule, when literally it's Liberals like you are always giving the most power to the smallest percentage of the population. The only exception is when the minority is a straight White Christian man

[KostasKouvalis]

You even acknowledged the ANC hasn't done shit for the country, especially blacks. So what's YOUR suggestion?

[OddBeMe]

Comparatively it’s the richest country in Africa. Thats why comparisons are importsnt. maybe instead ask what’s keeping African economies so poor?
