It is easy to forget, but America really played a massive, massive role in decolonization. I get their angle, but nonetheless, their contribution to that change of guard was/is tremendous

What lesson is learnt there, that biden has built his political career for decades making him an experienced leader of vast experience of over 50 years. Lesson, never rush things, anytime in life you can reach your goals as long as you live and stay focused towards achieving them

During the apartheid era (1948–1994), the United States government maintained a complex and often contradictory relationship with the South African regime. Initially, U.S. foreign policy prioritized Cold War strategy over human rights, viewing apartheid South Africa as a reliable anti-communist ally in Africa. From the Truman to the Reagan administrations, American leaders emphasized "constructive engagement," favoring quiet diplomacy over economic sanctions. This approach allowed major U.S. corporations to continue operating in South Africa, providing vital economic support to the apartheid state. Despite growing domestic and international pressure, the U.S. resisted stringent sanctions until the 1980s. Grassroots movements, student activism, and congressional lobbying eventually led to the passage of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, which was signed into law despite President Ronald Reagan's veto. This legislation marked a significant shift in U.S. policy and imposed sweeping economic sanctions on South Africa, including bans on new investment and imports of certain goods. While the U.S. government had long avoided direct confrontation with the apartheid regime, the 1986 sanctions played a pivotal role in isolating it economically and politically. The international community increasingly condemned apartheid as a crime against humanity, and the U.S. ultimately aligned itself with this global consensus. The pressure contributed to the dismantling of apartheid and the peaceful transition to democracy in 1994.

Our ‘international airport’ had an in-depth interview with the British media in 1985. It was at the height of the apartheid state brutality and repression. He led a massive international campaign for comprehensive sanctions against the apartheid regime. The year 1985 marked a pivotal escalation in South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle, characterised by widespread mass protests, labor strikes, and intensified township resistance. By June, the UN Security Council urged member states to impose sanctions against the apartheid regime, precipitating a deepening political crisis. In response, PW Botha proclaimed a state of emergency to avert systemic collapse. The European Community and Commonwealth nations duly responded with economic sanctions. Until this moment, the US had extended unconditional political and economic backing to apartheid South Africa. It was only in 1986 under international pressure that the US imposed stricter economic measures against the apartheid regime. Winnie Mandela had been banished to Brandfort in the Free State. She defied the banning order and returned to Soweto to spearhead grassroots resistance against the regime. From 1985 onward, apartheid began to unravel. The state despite its attempts repression, it increasingly could not sustain its legitimacy and political stability. The real turning point came when FW de Klerk replaced PW Botha in 1989 and moved to open negotiations. In 1990, the ANC and other liberation organisations were unbanned, and Mandela was released from prison. Subsequent negotiations culminated in a transitional settlement wherein the enfeebled apartheid criminals ceded political power to the ANC while retaining de facto dominance over the economy. This negotiated criminal structure still persists today. Economic power remains concentrated among historical beneficiaries of the apartheid regime. Our economic liberation was sold at the negotiations table. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela did say that she felt betrayed. Chris Hani too opposed the negotiations and was murdered.
