Foreign Affairs › Re: What Has South Africans Achieved Since The Transition To Black Rules? by Topman7: 7:41am On Mar 01

SmartPolician:
Black people in Africa just want power, but know nothing about leadership

WITHOUT BLACK LEADERS YOU'LL BE A VILLAGE ILLITERATE TODAY.

NIGERIA'S LITERACY RATE AFTER 80 YEARS OF BRITISH RULE WAS 10%.

WITHIN 60 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, IT'S 75%.

THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO CHEW THAT PHONE AS A ''NEW TYPE OF HARD CORN'' IS BECAUSE BLACK LEADERS BUILT THE SCHOOLS THAT EDUCATED YOU WHERE THE WHITE RULERS YOU WORSHIP LOOTED YOUR LAND TO THE POINT OF $50 TRILLION, (according to AI calculations) AND LEFT YOUR GRANDPARENTS AS ILLITERATE VILLAGE PEASANTS.

WITHOUT BLACK LEADERS, YOU WOULD BE IN A VILLAGE HUT CHEWING KOLANUT NOW AFTER A HARD DAY OF TAPPING PALM WINE, OR HUNTING BUSH MEAT IN THE FOREST.

OKAY?

SO EVERY DAY YOU WAKE UP, INSTEAD OF HATING YOUR SKIN COLOUR, THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS THAT PEOPLE OF YOUR SKIN COLOUR CAME TO POWER IN YOUR COUNTRY, AFTER DECADES OF WHITE COLONIAL PLUNDER.

Black people in Africa just want power, but know nothing about leadership

TYPICAL SELF HATER.

HERE IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ANC's ACHIEVEMENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

AI Report

After 1994, South Africa re-entered global markets and saw sustained expansion.

Between 1994 and 2008, GDP growth averaged around 3–5% annually, peaking at over 5% in 2006–2007.

GDP nearly tripled in nominal dollar terms between 1994 and 2011.

The country avoided hyperinflation and large-scale economic collapse common in some post-colonial transitions.

Under Nelson Mandela and later Thabo Mbeki, macroeconomic stabilization became a priority.

2. Expansion of the Black Middle Class

A significant rise in the Black middle class occurred between 1994 and 2015.

Millions of Black South Africans entered formal employment, professional sectors, and home ownership.

Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies aimed to increase participation in ownership and management.

While inequality remains high, the racial composition of the middle and upper income groups shifted significantly compared to apartheid-era exclusion.

3. Massive Social Grant Expansion

In 1994, around 2–3 million people received social grants.

By the 2020s, over 18 million people received grants.

Programs include:

Child Support Grant

Old Age Pension

Disability Grant

These grants significantly reduced extreme poverty and improved nutrition and school attendance.

4. Poverty Reduction (Early Period)

Between 1994 and roughly 2011, extreme poverty declined significantly.

Access to income support and employment growth reduced the number of households living below food poverty lines.

Access to services (electricity, housing, water) dramatically improved living standards.

However, poverty rates later stagnated due to slow growth and high unemployment.

5. Housing Delivery (RDP Housing)

Over 3 million houses built since 1994.

Millions more gained formal housing access.

One of the largest state-led housing programs globally.

This addressed apartheid-era spatial exclusion, though urban planning challenges remain.

6. Electrification Expansion

In 1994, only about 36% of households had electricity access.

By the mid-2010s, access rose to over 80–85%.

Millions of rural homes were connected for the first time.

Despite later load-shedding crises under Eskom, initial electrification rollout was a major structural shift.

7. Access to Clean Water & Sanitation

Millions gained access to piped water after 1994.

Basic sanitation coverage expanded significantly.

Rural infrastructure saw major improvements compared to apartheid neglect.

8. Inflation Control & Fiscal Discipline (GEAR Era)

Under Thabo Mbeki:

Inflation brought under control.

Budget deficits reduced.

Public debt lowered in the 2000s.

South Africa achieved investment-grade credit ratings during the mid-2000s.

The Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy emphasized fiscal responsibility and global integration.

9. Expansion of Higher Education

University enrollment more than doubled since 1994.

Significant increase in Black student participation.

Creation of new universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) expansion.

Examples:

University of Cape Town

University of the Witwatersrand

10. Financial System Stability

South Africa maintained one of the most advanced financial sectors in Africa.

The banking system remained stable through:

1998 emerging market crisis

2008 global financial crisis

The country avoided sovereign default.

The South African Reserve Bank maintained inflation targeting and currency management frameworks.

11. Infrastructure Investment (2000–2010)

Major projects included:

Gautrain rapid rail

King Shaka International Airport

Stadiums and transport upgrades for the 2010 FIFA World Cup

Port and logistics upgrades

Important Context (Balanced View)

While the ANC achieved substantial early economic progress, challenges also emerged:

Unemployment remained structurally high (often above 25%).

Inequality remains among the highest globally.

State capture scandals during Jacob Zuma weakened state institutions.

Growth slowed significantly after 2008.

Summary of Key Economic Achievements Since 1994

Sustained GDP growth (1994–2008)

Reduction in extreme poverty

Massive expansion of social grants

3+ million houses built

Electrification expanded from ~36% to over 80%

Clean water access expanded

Fiscal discipline & inflation control (2000s)

Financial system stability

Expansion of Black middle class

Major infrastructure rollout

Be sincere.

Very shallow reasoning.

America destroys OTHER countries to enrich itself.

So of course it will attract people to the weath it has cornered.

That does NOT mean its historical crimes are negated or should be ignored.

You don't dismiss an armed robber's crimes on the grounds that his neighbours frequent his house for food.

COOL10:
The actual video that Trump posted was about the 2020 election but you know how "autoplay" on social media sites work. When one video ends, another "possibly unrelated video" begins to play instantly. That was what happened, but I'm not surprised about the lies being spewed here by terrorist sympathising tribalists. I don't expect them to like a guy who has vowed to destroy the evil people they love and support.

Nairaland is now a cesspool of lies and hatred. How pathetic.

Even if he raped your old lady, you'll find an excuse for him.

The real question is what is a supposedly educated man like you doing supporting a smelly, miserable 80 year old white racist who considers you subhuman because of your skin colour?

Making excuses for him as he spits on you.

That's the real tragedy.

Who did this to you?

This makes sense.

I started a thread 2 weeks ago saying Obi needs to join APC, and Obidients started abusing me.

It sounds odd, but it's actually his true home, as a reformist like Tinubu clearly is.

Instead he hangs around all these dubious characters like Atiku Abubakar and co, yet claiming sainthood.

I think Tinubu could go for Dave Umahi, who has a great track record in administration as governor of Ebonyi.

I recommend you go read the book, "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." Also, go study what the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) did to Nigeria under IBB.

India has lifted 300 million people out of poverty using the EXACT SAME POLICIES TINUBU IS USING.

GO AND RESEARCH ON AI TO CONFIRM.

Nigeria has not had a missile boat since NNS Aradu was sent out for recommissioning. If we have a missile boat give its class and name. I would be happy to know we have such.

Because oyinbo wrote something in a book does not mean it is true. Senegal has a new missile boat. Yes we will close the gap. But for now I do not see how Nigeria can be said to have the strongest navy in Africa when Nigerias naval doctrine is coastal defence.

Mr Man go on Global Firepower Index site and see the Nigerian military equipment listed out. It's not hidden, and there's no guesswork.

This is just your delusion at play here. Seems you’re a tad younger than I thought.

Global geopolitics is not played the way Nigerian politics is. It’s because you’re not relevant economically, militarily, and in resource-monopoly etc that you latch on to your population for self-aggrandizement. It’s copium, and a very strange kind.

CULTURAL COLONISATION IS OFTEN MORE PIVOTAL THAN MILITARY PROWESS.

RUSSIA has nukes, but you can bet your bottom dollar VLADIMIR PUTIN would love for RUSSIAN FASHION/MUSIC/CULTURE to take over America, for ALL sorts of reasons.

WHY IS THE ''MILITARILY & AND ECONOMICALLY RELEVANT'' AMERICA ABANDONING ITS ENGLISH GOWNS AND TUXEDOS FOR NIGERIAN ATTIRE, AND GETTING HOOKED ON NIGERIAN MUSIC, CULTURE AND EVEN FOOD, AND RUSHING TO NIGERIA FOR DETTY DECEMBER EVERY DECEMBER??

CRY MORE, HATER...
