For the last 10 years or so it has become quite clear that a white person, and in some cases even coloured, Indian or Chinese person is no longer welcome in South Afric. The BEE aproach to things has led to some companies closing and corruption has tripled since it was introduced. Apartheid as extreme as it was under the rule of the NP and such is not yet present. I personally think it is because part of the government realize that the entire country will collapse if they suddenly implement apartheid law against non-black races. Think about it, most of the agri culture is still run by white "boer's" and if they force them from their farms SA will end up exactly like Zim. The largest part of corprate business in SA s still run by white/Chinese/Indian, Management might be BEE but they couldn't even run a tuckshop if they wanted, there are of course some black people who are highly qualified and actually have the knowledge/qualification and determination to make a company successful, but as you'll see they are rarely your toitoi'ing type and they are less likely racist then others. The main factor that has protected the non-black citizen from reverse apartheid is the fact that the government before Zuma realized that non-black people are vital to the success and survival of a company in SA. But I fear that Zuma and Malema have no grasp of what their racist aproach to SA will hold. The entire country will go up in smoke, if non through civil war, then by bankrupcy and corruption. Apartheid/war/failure is unavoidable unless the government changes.

How did other countries react to apartheid in south Africa?
Apartheid in South Africa refers to a policy of racial segregation that began under an all-white government in 1948 and lasted until 1994, when a new government consisting of multiple races -- the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela -- was elected. This was viewed as an important and positive turning point not only in South Africa, but by many other countries around the world.During Apartheid, there were many resistance groups opposed to the policies within the country that rallied for equal rights for both white and nonwhite citizens. Moreover, the United Nations General Assembly officially condemned Apartheid in 1973. According to History.com, the United Nations Security Council even made it illegal to sell arms to South Africa in 1976, while the United States and United Kingdom both imposed economic sanctions in 1985. It was the United States’ Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 -- which offered five steps South Africa could take to have these economic sanctions lifted -- that really pushed the South African government to repeal Apartheid laws.

What are the negative impacts of colonial rule?
Before South Africa there was two Boer Republics. When gold and diamonds were discovered Britain invaded the republics (2nd time). Before the Boer war there were treaties in place with black tribes. Land were bought and tribes though sometimes skirmishes helped each other two. When the Boer war ended, nearly 1/3 of the Boer women and children were annihalated in concentration camps. The Boer republics with the Cape Colony belong to Britain was made into what now is known South Africa. It took years for the Afrikaners to built up a country leveled to the ground due to what is known to "scorched' earth policy. Farms were burnt to the ground and animals slaughtered. The damage was extensive. This had long after effects on South Africa. During the Boer war mass rapings occurred. Together with a large portion of the population the died in concentration camps there was fear by the small white minority that it will happen again. They felt they needed to make sure it never happened again, which was the start of the "Apartheid" idea which is seperate developement away from a majority that is hostile to small minorities, in this case white and westernised.
