I'm not trying to justify racism or oppression, but I had a Zulu friend who told me that he preferred it under apartheid. Anecdotal I know, but he said that the main thing was he couldn't go to certain places without a work permit. There was little corruption and the place was well maintained. He said now nobody is free, you have to bribe someone to accomplish anything, the government still abuses everyone but the only difference is they aren't white people. He's a political refugee now fleeing political violence. These things are very complicated. I dont think ZA or any society should be under apartheid. They could have a popular government and work well, but for some reason they haven't accomplished that. What has to happen I don't know, but I do know that the racists use it as an example to agitate for apartheid again and eventually people are going to get tired of it and attempt to resolve the problems in some way. Ignoring them or simply blaming them on apartheid will only ensure that the wrong solutions are the ones that get implemented. Nobody is willing to have an honest discussion about these problems, they just scapegoat their political opponents, and this is what will prevent a proper solution to anything.
