It started well in the beginning. I'd say we had an "understanding" with the whites. "Friendships" were formed & when there was a disagreement with other groups, we foolishly provided muscle for them. Eg. The Ciskei Xhosa would help the whites to fight the Transkei Xhosa & vice versa, just to settle old scores etc. Even when the Boers fought the English, we fought with them.There's no war fought in South Africa without the blacks involved, whether it was whites vs. whites or whites vs. blacks. In other words, we got played. Our weakness (division within the tribes) was used against us. Our tribalism was not Zulu vs. Xhosa, it was more about internal squabbles within each tribe. We betrayed each other & got fùcked in the process. A very good lesson we learned, the hard way.
okay i see,where the other tribes having the same issues.
where there fights between the whites?
boers and english?

Yes, other tribes also had their internal conflicts as well. Look at it this way: personally I think it's human nature not to get along, as long as you live together as people. When you don't have a common enemy, you quarrel & bicker with each other. Pettiness. That's what that was about.

Yes, the Boere hate the English & vice versa. They're still silently beefing each other until now because of things of the past. Read up on the Anglo/Boer war.

That's one of his decisions I disagreed with , but it was a personal decision at the end of the day and had nothing to do with the nation. As citizens we never divorced her , she was given the the title " mother of the nation " , because that's what she was till she died.

two wars between the english and boer, despite the facts that there was an agreement that it should be a white man war.the both sides still employed the blacks to help out in the war. quite interesting to know that the richest gold deposit was found in witwatersrand and the boer got independent from the british and started the apartheid.

yeah its a personal decision and he has a right to his life and home.
she was a strong tigress if not she would have longed died of heart attack/failure.
madiba wasn't a saint and was the leader of the ANC youth group which was violent and one time tagged a terrorist group. she was just a victim of circumstance.

Yes because hurt people hurt people. They were oppressed by the English, so they turned around to oppress blacks. An English journalist at the time wrote an unflattering article about them, calling them mongrels amongst other things. The English felt superior to the Boers.

Yeah. There's blood over the land. No-one wanted to give up power. After all, South Africa is a beautiful country, naturally. They always threaten to leave. Some do leave, but I hear they don't do well in their adoptive countries, they miss home. They're just waiting for the dust to settle.

Quite interesting and intriguing documentary, they are stuck in a fix. There home is SA but left because of their skin, even if they trace their ancestral home which their great grand father told them about they would still live like strangers there because they arent a citizen of there. Since the whites in south do have conflict (anglo and british) then the blacks have an upper hand. Just like the african americans. The black SAn where lucky, they would have lost their home like the red indians in america. Thanks for the nugget of history knowledge you made me get.

The best thing that would happen to SAn is to never allow julius malema to rule SA unless Zimbabwe would be better than SA.
He would chase alot of investors out of the country and also scare away potential forthcoming investors.

That's why we have different parties with members with different opinions. People change parties all the time once they've outgrown whatever message the party preaches. Even if he rules South Africa, South Africans are not docile, he'll be called out when he steps out of line. Zuma was once a people's favourite too, remember that. If South Africa does become another Zimbabwe in terms of leadership, we'll never be another Zimbabwe in terms of fighting for our rights because we're NOT Zimbabweans, we're South Africans! We'll flip on you like a gymnast. We've got centuries to practice. A black dictator will face the wrath of the people. South Africans know how to take care of themselves, that you must know!
