Got that right.
In an article about “load shedding” (rotating blackouts) in South Africa, I was surprised to read the comments of a black union leader who said essentially, “say what you will about the apartheid days, at least they kept the lights on.”
Not that apartheid was a wonderful thing, but at least the country’s management didn’t put relatives, friends and political supporters into positions they were totally unqualified to fill.
Agreed,plenty of “people of color” in South Africa are qualified for these jobs but corruption has taken a mighty toll.
