“Apartheid was never the horrible system it was depi9cted.”
Yes, it was. Massive, systematic, and completely irrational oppression of indigenous peoples who were not treated as citizens of their own country. Don’t sugarcoat it. Also, let’s not pretend that it made the country unlivable. It didn’t. We have to be honest on all sides.
“South Africa was the most advanced African country.”
1930’s Germany was the most advanced country in continental Europe. I don’t think you’re saying as much as you might think you are.

And you apparently don't know much about that nation.
I’m not sugarcoating anything. I’m saying quite correctly that the Xhosas in Transkei had more rights and a better country than Kenyans living in Kibera. But Transkei was never recognized as a country by the UN and most of the world due to an insane prejudice against Whites in South Africa.
Today, boys are still surfing in Durban’s Bay of Plenty but the crime rate makes life on land much tougher for all the races of Natal.
