This is very sad! I don't know how did black people get over such brutality and decided to "live in harmony" with whites... 💔

I like how he refers to ghettos as concentration camps, which they still are 👌

When we tell them about the remnants of apartheid they say, "It's been over 20 years since democracy stop blaming Apartheid, get over it "! They don't understand the magnitude of the damage that apartheid causes on black people. This thing damaged the minds of unborn children.

I recently came across this clip of Bantu Holomisa saying that, despite the Apartheid regime being “cruel politically”, “but at least” he credits it “for having provided jobs”, “for making sure there was discipline in schools” and building “quality” four-room houses. Needless to say, Holomisa is recycling Apartheid propaganda. First, what “jobs” is he talking about when the regime passed laws that reserved all skilled and supervisory positions for White workers while restricting Black Africans to manual labour, where natives earned up to 11 times less, and still paid taxes that White people had never even heard of? Holomisa himself was a “General” in the Bantustans, which housed 52% of the population on just 13% of the least productive land, with unemployment often running at up to 80%. The Bantustans were created as rural, ethnically defined “homelands” with minimal industrial infrastructure and few formal employment opportunities. They relied heavily on subsistence agriculture, remittances from migrant labour, and low-paid local jobs. Job creation efforts were so minimal that by 1974, only about 13 000 workers (out of millions of residents) were employed in homeland industries, most in low-wage roles. For those who may not be aware, Bantustans were created by selecting areas that White farmers and mining companies had previously declared poor and unproductive. So, by describing this system as “job provision”, Holomisa is confusing exploitation with opportunity. On education. For 30 years before Apartheid, Africans were already paying an “Education Tax” that did not apply to White people. Yet, by 1976, the regime spent 15 times more on education for each White child than for each Black child. Then Holomisa says during Apartheid, “teachers were teaching”. How, when only 2.3% of Black teachers had a university degree, while 82% had no matric? Who were the teachers teaching when Black children would only attend school for a few years, often just 2 years? What good was the “teaching” when Black children were taught in their 2nd (or 3rd) language, which meant they were much more likely to fail, and it was not uncommon for a pupil to repeat a grade several times? When Holomisa praises Apartheid-era four-room houses, he is referring to the NE 51/6 matchbox house, structures built with asbestos cement roofing, unlined walls, no internal doors, no ceilings, and no insulation. The “quality” of the matchbox house, was never about human dignity. The primary concern was labour efficiency and social control. The “four rooms”, typically two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living area, were unlined, with no internal doors and toxic asbestos roofing. The design assumed the inhabitants were merely units of labour. The lack of ceilings or proper insulation meant these houses were freezing in winter and boiling in summer. In the eyes of a frustrated citizen, a 1950s matchbox house that is still standing looks like “quality”. However, this aesthetic comparison ignores the political soul of the matchbox house as a brick-and-cement manifestation of the belief that Black people were “temporary visitors” in their own country. Yes, many of these houses are still standing. But durability is not the same as quality. The real danger of Holomisa’s claim is that in a country desperate for functional governance, a crumbling 1950s structure can look like “order.” But aesthetic comparison without political memory is a form of historical vandalism and moral amnesia.

Oliver Tambo: “Just about anything is welcome as an alternative to the Apartheid system”. This is what happens when a liberation movement defines its primary victory negatively. In this case, as the removal of a regime rather than the affirmation of a specific economic system. By declaring that “just about anything is welcome”, Tambo was speaking from the urgency of the time, but that signalled to White capital and the National Party that the ANC’s political flexibility was nearly infinite. The then-President of the ANC had announced that his liberation movement was open to anything. Tambo’s logic that defeat of the enemy was the sole immediate objective meant that concrete economic strategy was relegated to an afterthought. And because the ANC was hyper-focused on ending racial oppression at any cost, the Apartheid regime and White capital ensured that the cost went as high as possible. To capitalise on this weakness, the White minority gave the ANC political authority, and in return they gained property rights protection, central bank independence, the Bill of Rights, Constitutional supremacy, the maintenance of the old macro-economic system and the ability to externalise capital. Because the ANC had deferred the development of a concrete economic policy, when it inherited the state in 1994, it didn’t have a solid economic model that could withstand international market pressure and IMF/World Bank influence. The rest is history. This “anything but this” logic didn’t stay confined to the ANC’s leadership, though. Three decades later, it has become the default mindset of the voters themselves, in the form of negative voting. The 2024 general election outcome, which forced the creation of the Government of National Unity, is a classic example of this mentality. Sections of the public, fed up with the ANC, were desperate to “vote it out” and constantly encouraged other voters to “vote for anyone but the ANC”, instead of voting *for* something specific. So, just like the ANC in the ’80s and ’90s, 2024 was dictated by what South Africans were desperate to destroy rather than what they were organised to build. Until this changes, the outcome will continuously default to more compromise and more stagnation.
