South Africa had a long history of apartheid, and there was much abuse and heavy handedness involved in that and involved in maintaining it against assault. When Apartheid ended, I don't think many expected it to be like that. I think the assumptions were that it would end in violent civil war, and/or that the white South African government would become more and more a police state. And in Robocop for example, the city of Pretoria became a police state city-state which got a nuclear weapon to defend against the black South Africa around it.

Given the interesting times South Africa went through in the 80s and 90s, how much could the situation in that nation have deteriorated?
