No Smooth ending to Apartheit in SA?

Being uninformed, or even stupid, is hardly racism. .

I think it’s the implication that if only a white minority government were running the show everything would be fine that may have been the issue.


The partition of South African territories was discussed continuously throughout the seventies and eighties


Partition was discussed and advocated by the same people that were propping up the Apartheid regime at the time, and rejected by the rest of us who were appalled by the entire concept of Apartheid.

Those saying it would have been a success and prosperous don’t seem to accept that a “Whites Only” Republic in the remnants on Apartheid South Africa would not have been seen as a satisfactory outcome to the international community, much less the local “coloured and black” populations, it would have been seen as more of the same and treated as such.

The decline in Johannesburg is not because South Africa is now a democracy. It can possibly be blamed on poor governance, something I blame on the absence of a credible, competitive opposition political party.

A scenario that has a small, besieged “White Homeland” struggling on is to me believable. A scenario of a rich, successful “White Homeland” at peace with its neighbours is not.
