Assuming that the white supremacist regimes of Rhodesia and Apartheid-era South Africa survived into the present, what would those countries look like by now? I'm not so much interested in how those regimes maintain their power as opposed to their effects on contemporary life. In particular, how would these regimes have dealt with the incipient AIDS epidemic which has severely affected the populations of Southern Africa, especially given that the National Party (not so sure about Rhodesia) was also quite socially conservative being dominated by Calvinist Afrikaners? In foreign policy terms assuming that the US and other Western democracies kept up their diplomatic and economic sanctions, South Africa and Rhodesia could slowly have moved into the incipient "anti-American", soverigntist bloc led by Putin's Russia and China.
