The modern nation of South Africa was built by the Dutch, then taken by the English during the Boer Wars.
It was a successful nation during this period.
Since being taken over by the black African (think Mandella & cronies) nationals it has degenerated into one of the worst, most dangerous, so called democracies on the African Continent.
I have been looking for statistics (but they probably aren’t very good from 200 years ago) - but was told that when Dutch arrived to South Africa, it was nearly unpopulated. There were local bushmen (who still exist) but otherwise, much of the land was not settled.
Like the USA - black africans were brought (or immigrated) from elsewhere to South Africa, for work. Any truth to this?
