What was the Biggest fear of Whites at the end of the Apartheid?
Their biggest fear was probably that black people would want to take revenge on them for apartheid and that there would be a lot of violence with the end of apartheid, and that the whole country would be in chaos.
During the 102 years that you refer to there was a lot happening.
You may want to be more specific.
In general, during the beginning of the period Britain consolidated control of the region, developed the mining industries, passed legislation to force Black people off the land into industrial work, established reservations for Blacks.
The country "The Union of South Africa" was created from the original 4 countries and became self-governing in 1910.
The government from 1910 to 1994 was white controlled. Although policies in the era 1910 to 1950 were racially biased, so called "Grand Apartheid" blossomed in the 1960's after the country gained full independence from Britain as "The Republic of South Africa".
In the late 1980's, after decades of economic sanctions and guerrilla warfare it became clear that Apartheid was not sustainable and negotiations with the African National Congess began.
In the beginning why were the nonwhite south africans helpless to end apartheid?
they were not allowed to vote or hold office!
The Nationalist Party of South Africa called for apartheid which promoted?
racial discrimination and separation
What proof is there for reverse apartheid in South Africa?
Lots of proof sadly. I am a White South African, i lived there for 21 years, i lived under both a black government and a white Apartheid one. Here is some proof in Durban a white male went to a recruitment agency looking for work, any work. He had just finish university and he was told sorry as he was white they could not give him a job. That story was printed in a South African newspaper.
If blacks murder and kill someone, remember up to 55 people are murdered in SA on a daily basis, then nothing is mentioned about the race of the killer but if a white person kills a black it makes world headlines. Talk about double standards. Murder is murder, what difference does it make if you are black or white doing it?. Then 1,000 of white farmers have been brutally murdered and nobody says anything about it. SA is far more racist now then during Apartheid and it's from all sides black and white.
I have been to 100's of interviews in South Africa and i was told sorry you tick all the boxes experience, education ect but we can't give you the job due to the Affirmative action laws which state 80% of the jobs in SA are reserved for blacks.
I now live in the UK and am duel nationality and don't get any such problems.
Also my father was told that he would never get a promotion because he is white. So that is why a whole generation of South Africans most of them white have left SA. Up to 20% of the white have left in the last 10 years not all do to reverse Apartheid some due to crime but most also left because of affirmative action.
The sad bit is that due to Apartheid, the skills of the blacks are very poor compared to the whites and blacks could only study certain things during Apartheid. So their level of skills are serverly lacking. The white on the other hand have between 70% and 80% of the highly skills in the country and due to these racist polices, they are leaving SA in thousands each year which results in a huge brain drain. From what i have read, every single government department is short of staff. So i raise this question after what 15 years since the end of Apartheid, why do they have racist laws saying 80% of the jobs have to go to blacks?.
With any luck South Africa is not the next Zimbabwe. I hope one day things improve but i will never move back to South Africa due to how i have been treated as a second class citizen in my own country. They claim SA is democratic but if you question the government on any number of issues and you are white, then you are called a racist.You have the security minister a few years ago, who went on live tv and said if the whites don't like the crime in South Africa they can leave.
So there is your proof, if you don't believe what i have said that is fine, check on the internet in a 100 different places and you will get the same story, then you can make your own mind up. Now it looks like Jacob Zuma will be the next black president. A rather scary thought as his fav song is him and his machine gun not to mention the fact that he was investagated by the National Prosecuting Authority and they have said that the 16 original charges still stood against Zuma, including racketeering, corruption and money laundering, involving about 4m rand (£267,000). The case was part of a bribery investigation into South Africa's largest weapons buying deal, which saw Zuma's financial adviser jailed for 15 years. He has also not even been to high school and it looks like he will be the next president. That's all i,ve got to say. God bless Africa they surely need it.
