Was Apartheid really that bad? is what they have now better?

They took a thriving nation and destroyed it, before long they will slide into the same problems the Sudan has.

Yes, Apartheid really was that bad. That's sort of like saying, "was the Jim Crow south really that bad?"

Of course things are bad today, in a totally different way. It's because for all intents and purposes, the ANC was and is a communist organization. That's the main reason that things have fallen apart there. Not due to the abolition of apartheid.

That would be sort of like asking my late grandfather, "Was the rule of the Royal Family in Russia really so bad before the revolution? Look how bad things got afterwards!" Well, it was pretty damned bad before, as well as after, in some different, and some similar ways.
