Black South African Leaders Should Be Commended For Developments Post Apartheid by Nobody: 12:54pm On Jun 22, 2020*

Black South African leaders should be commended for the developments post apartheid for maintaining and expanding on the well planned road network, excellent transport system,education system, public health arrangement, robust humanitarian and welfare package for citizens.

I used to be one of the ignorant Nigerians that attributed all the development of South Africa to the Dutch settlers. And failed to acknowledge the role of black South African leaders, who have made their country not only the prime tourist destination on the African continent, but also the country most Africans want to immigrate for a better life.

South Africans leaders are able to attend to their medical needs within the country and send their children to attend universities within the country to receive world class education.

Most importantly they have expanded on the megawatts of electricity produced in the country. According to the Ministry of Energy, South Africa's total domestic electricity generation capacity is 46,577 megawatts (MW) from all sources. This pales in comparison to Nigeria, which since 1960 has struggled with electricity for it's 200 million population and has the potential to generate 12,522 megawatts (MW) of electric power from existing plants, but most days is only able to generate around 4,000 MW, which is insufficient.

We have never had a Nigerian political leader to look up to who meant well for the country and who wanted to see the country develop.

You had Mandela- a world icon. Who united your country and maintained and expanded on the developments post apartheid.

Even though I believe south Africa is very better than nigeria by far, i and most nigerians don't still rate the people (blacks in it).

Rwanda people have more rating than black south Africans...

An average nigerian knows south Africa economy is controlled by whites and most lands and companies there are founded or owned by whites.

That's why it's funny to many nigerians seeing how black south Africans are the ones bragging about white people achievements. It makes them look stupid

I think it is partly due to the belief we would have been better off as country if they stayed maybe 20-30 years longer. We got independence from the British in 1960 and we have not fared better under self rule due to epidemic corruption.

The problem with you people, again is this over-emphasis of this so-called 'white-achievement" for one, South Africa is not even a black and white country only it's a multiracial country like the US, South African Indians, colored people are also doing a lot to push their country forward, of course, you wouldn't know that right? because white people occupy the mind of a Nigerian the most. it's like saying African Americans have never had a hand on the building of the US which is downright stupid. How can you claim we brag about the achievements of whites while development is still happening under a black government? Must we not be proud of our successful hosting of the 2010 World Cup for example, of which SAFA (a black led entity) made bid to host, of which a black govt executed and poured money into, black labor built stadia, black architects, engineers, media people etc involved as well. A Nigerian will go and check the white man behind the scenes who was involved in the payrol of labour workers to give him all the credit. Stupid. In a Nigerian's mind even things which that have nothing to do with whites are white achievements, which to me point on two things 1 envy 2 inferiority complex

There's still corruption in the South African govt too and it hasn't gone away because there's a presence of whites. they are corrupt too!

USA is multi racial because of slave trade, India isn't multi racial. South Africa is one of few country they worship and adore their colonizers.

Nigerians are better than south africa in any human positive department, that's a fact.

South Africa is also multi-racial due to slave trade (the problem with this forum is arguing with clueless people who don't read) Indians, for example, were brought by the D.E.I.C (Dutch East India Company) to work at the sugar cane fields, the Malaysians as well, who are the ancestors of what is now called " Cape Malays". French Huguenots were also by Jan van Riebeck brought to work as slaves, The Afrikanners are direct descendants of these huegenots and the dutch. Multi-culturism was achieved the same everywhere, how do you think blacks arrived in Brasil?

@bolded. I see the worship from you, you still think building a proper road requires white people grin

the other points are honestly not worth my time

The problem is that most people think that black and colored people in SA had nothing. The actual reason black people (all POCs) in SA don't praise white people is because we know most of what they built wasn't really built by them. Land was taken away from people. This wasn't empty barren land but these were already farms. White people came here and didn't know anything about farming in the climate. They took away the local land and made them work for them while paying them with alcohol. The white farmer had no expertise, they exploited the black people, Khoisan, malay, indians etc and claimed all those achievements for themselves.

Schools were built by black people and it was destroyed by the white rule. Black people had their houses taken away in many areas that you now think was developed by whites. Black people created so many things for themselves that were absolutely destroyed by the apartheid government. So we know our worth. We therefore get very upset when other black people claim whites developed South Africa.

I'm sorry that things aren't working out in Nigeria and I truly wish you the best, but you should blame yourselves for the lack of good governance and not the entire black race.

Nah, can you tell Indians apart ? India is homogenous like China. China has many many ethncities like the Zhuang, Hui,Manchu, Han, Tibetan, Mongol, Dong, Bai, Buei etc. but can you tell them apart? No, because they are largely homogenous. True diversity imo is racial, then we can talk about countries like Brasil,The US, RSA etc

Yes i can tell apart, Many could.
But question is have you seen them all from various races? You may have seen 1, 2 races that is why you think all are the same.

They are completely different in every aspect. Most of the People here we see are from Southern parts with darker complexion and not tall.

when went there first time, I always thought why so many Chinese and Mongolian students in Dairy Technology class?, Later i found they are from their North eastern parts.

I have never been to place where you can see so much diversity.
