And there was a middle class, but not a substantial one. It grew as the Nationalists slowly yielded to the inevitable and the strictures of Apartheid declined, preparing the way for Mandela’s ascension to power, I believe with his cooperation. But of course his efforts had to fail in the end. Communism is communism. To his credit, he didn’t commit any massacres of whites or dissident blacks. Now that he’s long gone, it’s started. Again: Relatively reasonable.

It WAS "substantial", when you discount the ILLEGALS that had managed to get into RSA, no matter the efforts of the Army at the borders,as well as the number of low IQers of blacks. You can't make a silk purse out of....

Want an example?

The whole SOWETO UPRISING, was basically done by a group of slum dwelling blacks, who were AGAINST having their children taught Afrikaans AND more importantly ENGLISH! Neither did they want their own children to actually be well educated. They wanted to keep their own tribal language and that was that, so a math teacher was railroaded out and the riots began in earnest.

So...........HOW can the poor raise themselves up, when they are unable to read and speak languages that are used in business, locally, and re English, WORLD WIDE?

The ANC was formed by USSR loving COMMIE whites, most of whom, were later murdered by the blacks whom they had mentored. It was not exactly like, but still a COMMIE pattern, of the once leaders being murdered by those whom they trained.

You're viewing this from the outside. Did YOU or anyone you know ever had a long personal relationship with Mandela?

Did you live in RSA before, during, and after his presidency?

And "relatively reasonable" is not a fitting term for him at all; it's a better fit for Mbeki, actually,

I've now watched most of the video and right off the bat, what's being completely LEFT OUT, is what is MOST important!

When Mandela, the COUGH/CHOKE "relatively reasonable" COUGH/CHOKE took over, the police departments threw out the vast majority of whites. He also gave high positions, to top ANC members and their family members, but they were NO SHOW JOBS, kicked out some whites, and the remaining whites had to do their own work, as well as the jobs of the NO SHOWS and/or incompetent blacks who either never came to work, or once there, did NOTHING!

But yes, that "grew" the middle and upper middle classes of blacks. YIIIIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And things have gone from bad to worse to HORRIFIC ever since then.
