It has been mentioned here a few times how the ANC never did anything and some benevolent white people just woke one day and decided to give us Freedoms.
FW de Klerk shares the same sentiments. The Apartheid regime could have taken harsher measures, perhaps shifting the population geographically across provinces and construct independence accordingly. They had the power to do this. Also, we saw what the English did in Australia in the 1800's and early 1900's. So we need to stop pretending that things couldn't have been worse and that the now ANC was pure good, we see this today only a few from the ANC were truly seeking liberation the rest were on the bandwagon and had ulterior motives.
Coming back to the article: Here's the funny part given the history of SA and what this article is alluding to, we now see black people flocking abroad to the "imperial" lands, so you can't argue about how terrible SA is because of Apartheid yet when they move to England/Netherlands they won't dare propagate their hypocrisy in these lands they immigrate to. We cannot generalize by stating professionals are plainly wanting to leave to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
We need to honest the ANC's days of blaming the Apartheid regime ended 1994. There was a myth created that it was acceptable to blame Apartheid regime, the entire country entertained this narrative for too long to the point that it created the mess we find ourselves in. An extension of this: white monopoly capital nonsense. If you have any black friends or work colleagues look at the propaganda spewing social media. It's all about taking the land back and owning things, it's destructive to say the least. It's not about building and creating. Therefore many blacks cannot associate with this mentality they leave SA for these reasons...
