Crossroads Of Oppression's End: Liberty Or Greater Tyranny-Part Four South Africa Session Four

 

After the 1994 fall of Apartheid, non-Whites were allowed to vote.

The plutocratic Whites, owning much land and a high percentage of industries, continue to do well. They are able to buy off the politicians and "lawyers" needed to cement their plutocracy.

The last 27 years have seen the rise of the Black non-productive power brokering elite that have been instrumental in the redistribution of resources and rights. The economic system incorporated far more patronage as well as far more collusion between the public and private sector than existed under Apartheid. Under Apartheid, while there was reservations that favored the Whites, the economy was much more free enterprise back then than it is now. 

However, the poverty rate for Whites has nearly tripled. One million to one million, six hundred thousand highly productively skilled Whites left South Africa in the new "Democracy". That departure had a major impact on the economy and society.

Blacks have overall suffered somewhat worse,economically speaking, since the birth of the new "Democracy". Before the end of Apartheid, 25% of all employees in Industry were Black. Since many companies and industries have left South Africa due to the increased influence of bureaucrats, "lawyers", and unions, unemployment has increased for the majority Black population.
