Post-apartheid South Africa.

After the fall of apartheid in South Africa in 1994, the races were supposed to be intergrated. However, the legacy of apartheid remains,quite unfortuantely. Soweto is still the slummy township, the whites are still the richest, and AIDS is wrecking the black population of the country. But it is not all gloom and doom. South Africa's economy has been growing decently in the last 12 years and it's starting to be shared equally. At the same time the consumer market is growing by leaps and bounds. Personally,I would like to know what other members think about post-apartheid South Africa.

Africa South Post-apartheid

Personally, I think that while apartheid is legally gone, the spirit of it lives on. That is the reason that everything is still so segregated, whites don't want to be equal, they were forced to be so. How on earth it ever got to be such a bad situation I don't know. Africa is primarily black and the whites are in the minority. South Africa has a black majority but somehow apartheid still reigns in the hearts of the white and rich minority. I don't think that apartheid is truly gone, I think it will take many more years before that happens.

They control 60% of the world's gold. The economy of S. Africa couldn't be doing much better. Will this wealth ever be shared with the common people of S. Africa? No, Debeers will never allow that to happen.
