Reply to comment by [deleted] in 29 million South Africans receive grants – with only 7.4 million taxpayers by Desocrate

Yeah blame welfare and not the decades of racism. Gee I wonder why nobody built anything of note in South Africa. Could it have been the all the sanctions ?

Sanctions is when South Aftica thrived and many State Owned Enterpsises were started, tons of local businesses opened, many still highly successful to date.

"Thrived" supported by racists like Reagan and Thatcher.

I'm not talking about external support. I'm talking about locals putting their heads down and doing what was necessary to keep the economy going and growing.

Agreed, the past 30 years have been full of racism towards Indian, Coloured and white people, I mean, the EFF is literally singing and shouting this from the rooftops, and the ANC has anti Indian, coloured and white policies in place.

At least none of the SOEs in the sanction period failed, now without sanctions the current government lacks the ability to make it work.

Gee, I wonder why.

It's almost as if the rich racist assholes who were in power before made sure the new government couldn't work.
