D.Colonialism created ethnic tensions.
South Africa is not currently under occupation in the traditional sense, as it is a sovereign nation. However, it has a complex history of colonialism and apartheid, where various groups faced systemic oppression and disenfranchisement. Today, South Africa is a democratic republic, grappling with the legacies of its past while striving for social and economic equality.
The history of colonialism in Africa has significantly contributed to the current state of many failed states on the continent. Colonial powers often imposed arbitrary borders, disrupted traditional governance structures, and prioritized extraction of resources over local development, leading to deep-seated ethnic tensions and political instability. This legacy of exploitation and lack of cohesive national identity has hindered post-colonial nation-building efforts, resulting in weak institutions and governance challenges that persist today. Consequently, many African states struggle with corruption, civil conflict, and economic underdevelopment, perpetuating cycles of failure.

Absolutely. whilst one level many criticisms that the inequalities that were created and persist, Colonialism has left South Africa with well-developed infrastructure and the largest economy in Africa, with one of the highest standards of living.
There were many types of responses. Some say they welcomed colonialism, they said that colonialism brought an end to slavery in Africa. Some say it brought peace in many areas after a long time. But many of the Africans reacted with a strong resistance.
