Now why were black people in SA, even under apartheid, better off than their counterparts in the rest of Africa? The war in Angola was against Communism and that was a great success.

Are you serious, was the first part of your post an attempt at sarcasm? Of course black people in South Africa would relatively be better off than their counterparts from Africa since this country had the most developed/industrialised economy on the continent.
Dunno whether you know your history but the SADF's adventure in Angola was a dismal failure which cost South Africa billions and didn't make white South Africa any safer...that's unless you believed the propaganda you were fed each night at 8pm on a certain channel. Please, the SADF or white South Africa should not take undue credit for the defeat of communism...America should.

The military side of the "adventure" wasn't a failure, the political climate in which it was fought was, please note the difference!
O ja wars always cost billions, money wasted doesn't seem to wake politicians up during war, ask George Bush
there can't be that many negative true comments that can be said about Mandela

Well, every chance you get you defend the ANC and everyone/anyone affiliated to that, so what makes your defense different?
why dont u go and start a pro ANC forum
Where is apartheid being defended?? (and we're not talking about BEE apartheid
)Should a state funeral have been offered for the guy? His family refused. Should we have one for FW? Why not, he was the presedent.
