I don't know enough about South Africa to comment, but I can confidently say that in Zimbabwe the black citizens of the country now have less economic prosperity and less political freedom/equality than they had under the Rhodesian government. Rhodesia never had any racial requirements for voting/representation, at least not until the British insisted on special representitives being created for the black population as a condition of independence (source: Ian Smith's memoirs). They had educational and income requirements in order to vote, and were actively building more schools in majority black areas in order to increase the ability of black citizens to vote (and to have a better education/life in general).
