Poverty preserves racial lines in post-apartheid South Africa

[Mary2020VA]

I don't understand why whites expect blacks not to kill them. Have you no idea how many blacks were killed by whites and kept from any form of advancing in their own native African land!

Of course they are going to kill the whites, and who can blame African people? Why won't the whites just go back to europe.

[TheBoeremag]

watch new south afrika why the exodus you will see wat sa really is like not this rainbow shit

[Entanglement9]

NO STUPID REPORTER THE GAP IS NOT AS WIDE AS IT WAS DURING THE APARTHEID YEARS. THAT IS SIMPLY REPORTING RUBBISH and YOU NEED TO STOP FALLING INTO THE TRAP OF VERBAL CLICHÉS in the news. no wonder you seem like some random has been unemployed reporter to me.

I’m intrigued by how the west talks about the apartheid, as though it was an exclusively a South African problem. Let’s not forget that this also happened in other colonially ruled nations, the difference is they just didn’t call it the apartheid.

[bitchezBEhatin92]

@Vikiinduku The west clearly doesn't like to acknowledge the wrongs they have committed in the past. But they find it okay to criticise south africa for its problems...it's so hypocritical. Literally every westernised country existing today had similar segregation structures in place at some point in their history, the only difference is that south africa is the most recent example. I think it was time the pot stopped calling the kettle black, don't you agree?

[illuminate737]

@michaelacarterrichar, South Africa is the country with the highest intentional homicide rate in the world. Wikipedia on intentional homicide by country.

[illuminate737]

Whites make up only 10% of the pop. but had the best jobs? Gee, it sounds like the Jews in America. Only 2% of the population, but they control Hollywood and are over-represented in government. We haven't done a reverse apartheid yet. Instead, we chalk it up to hard work and IQ by the dominant minority. We should feed all children a diet to ensure they all grow to be the same height, despite genetics. Tall kids should be underfed. Sound cruel? It's only affirmative action.

[MingTheMerciful]

@illuminate737 Well, It is mostly Black, White, Coloured, Indians, Chinese (recent addition), Cape Malay and the indigenous Khoisan

[WALTKRIEG]

At 5.50, she is beautiful.

[pollockdonald]

[sprokiejd]

[ProphetLuong]

@sprokiejd Why do you say that?

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

fuck worldfocusonline, liberal pieces of shit

[michaelacarterrichar]

im lovin the black mall with the black people, the world is never shown these kinds of images. i had no idea soweto had calmed down.i only saw violence.

[VirtualDude67]

@michaelacarterrichar Soweto is still full of violence dude, you just don't see it any more in the news or media 'cos they're concentrating on different news today, the emerging blacks.Don't fool yourself for one second here, Soweto's murder rate has almost doubled since the end of white rule in SA, but it's just one of those things that are not politically correct to report about today so therefore you don't see or hear about it; after all, it would bring the ANC into bad limelight.. you see?

[gaguy1967]

This liberal american reporter is really whitewashing the New South Africa.....All if nice and perfect. Youll never get the truth about ZA from an American liberal

[TheBoeremag]

he talks shit and is brainwashing people we will never be together look up farm murders thats wat thy do the blacks thy make you think thy want peace till you put you gun down.there is now just a small amount of childern that dont care but they not boere, there isnt even white in the rainbow so wat the fuck is he on these people are animals the same year thy gave the blacks power thy killed 80000 tutsis in ruwanda anc is no freedom fighters thy are killers and criminals

[carelhayden]

As long as appartheid is blamed for the currant problems in south africa, nothing will get better. if something works like school systems, it has to be destroyed. SA kids are really stupid now with lack of education. Tax is there to fund ministers and their familys, not the poor. So the ANC is raping their own kind. I do not feel sorry for you at all. We have now become numb to your pathetic pain and suffering. if someone begs, I tell them to ask Zuma

[triumphelf]

White's Black's have alway's married there-The Chinese they Don't!!

[xzoneworldtv]

poor blacks in S.A are stupid after 15 years ANC in power there unable to deliver on there promises 2009 came they had the biggest oppotunity to vote for the competent party that will provide on there promises but NO they Voted ANC cause the party is black. now let suffer

[H1MLA]

And which party is the competent one then?

[JohnRhysMusician]

Democratic Alliance is the competent party with a clear economic vision.

[H1MLA]

Oh really....where were these whites of the Democratic Alliance during your Apartheid Reich then? Too busy then enjoying the benefits of white previllege under Botha's Nazis rule, to think about Democracy then. Now your evil reich had fell, all of a sudden, you are pretending to believe in one man, one vote virtue of democratic rule. Well, democracy is in SA now & the ANC is ruling, so deal with it or relocate, if the the idea of majority rule doesn't suit white supremacist africaaners & Boers.

[sguardian870]

whi says blacks cant be productive with out whites

[kakompo]

I guess somethings never change. That is just the way it is. People are comfortable with their own- but together they can make very interesting things happen.
