The reasons for SA's downfall:
1) The civil service being flooded by people who had no experience. A friend described that as giving a Ferrari to a 17-year-old who had never driven a car. A crash was inevitable.
2) Experienced white engineers were made redundant throughout the state-owned power, water, telecommunications and transport organisations. They were replaced by inexperience (and sometimes unqualified) black people. Strict race quotas meant that those white ex-employees could not be brought back.
3) The ANC government became corrupt and the separation between the party and the state evaporated. Party members were given preferential placement into jobs in state-owned enterprises. Merit as a basis for employment have been replaced by party loyalty.
4) The government decided to use race as a motivation for voters. Black voters were encouraged to see white politicians as the enemy.
5) The "brain drain" is real. University graduates are leaving in their droves. I did that. I finished my masters and left 2 weeks later. I didn't even attent my graduation ceremony. I completed my PhD abroad and stayed there.
6) No one wants to hold Rands. Every friend and relative I have in South Africa holds a bank account in Europe that they load with any spare money they can get out of the country.

South Africa was the destination of our annual holiday for 12 years between 2001 and 2013. We loved the country, beautiful, clean and well organized. However, during these years we saw a clear decline in everything. Our last holiday in 2013 was almost unrecognizable from the first one in 2001. That was our last time sadly.

To give you an idea of how ridiculous SA is now, instead of actually fixing the blackouts, they issued a statement saying that the term "blackout" is racist, and renamed it, "load shedding".
Truly the pinnacle of progress.

As a South African who doesnât want to ever leave this place, this video makes me so sad and so angry. The absolute and complete incompetence and astounding corruption of the past and present president and other ANC leaders has royally screwed us all, no matter what colour we are

Can only blame the White man for so long. Gave them a golden goose and the ANC completely turned it into rot.

We drove to the airport one last time in December 2023. It was heartbreaking and you feel gutted, but as this video explains so well, if you have the choice to leave you almost don't have the choice to stay...

The regression of South Africa is ultimately just a symptom of the ANCâs epic levels of corruption and misgovernance.

My nephew did part of his internship, to become a doctor in South Africa.....he said an ER doctor in Canada could go his entire career without ever seeing a stab wound to the heart.....In South Africa....you'll see one...every day!

Itâs honestly just sad. They kicked out the people who built the place up and who went âyou gotta deal with this otherwise itâs gonna be a problemâ and they laughed at them and ignored it. Same thing happened with the farmers.

I am a South African now living abroad. My entire family left SA one by one. My 5 siblings and I all left to different countries, wherever we found opportunities. last to leave was my parents 4 years ago. I miss SA so much but I know I have no future there, and without my parents there it doesnât even feel like home anymore. Iâm very fortunate to have the means to emigrate and start a new life, but I donât personally enjoy being a foreigner everywhere I go. But most of all Iâm terribly sad that my family is scattered across the globe. This happens to a lot of South Africans. If you are lucky enough to live near family donât take it for granted.

A mate of mine was a farmer in Zimbabwe and left with nothing but his life. He told me years ago that SA was going to end up exactly the same as Zim

I am a South African who moved to Canada in 2023 and I must say you are spot-on with your research. I must admit I was hesitant to watch your video based on the majority of people getting it wrong, but you did not. The biggest problem in South Africa is corruption by government officials. The country's revenue service, SARS, has in the past expressed that taxation is sufficient, but corruption is killing the country.

Why is no one blaming the family at the top of the ANC? The Mandela family is corrupt to the core, but if you say anything about them, guess what? You are labeled a racist.

As a British software engineer, I always wondered why I met a very disproportionate number of South Africans in my line of work in the UK (including a former SA Navy engineer with a million fantastic stories about the old country). I guess this is why.

As a South African I 100% agree with this video. This country is collapsing faster and faster every year.

South Africa is declining, but declining to the Sub Saharan African Norm.

imagine being handed a nation with such a resiliant economy that it could weather years of sanctions and also fight a war in angola and still fuck it up beyond all recognition. same shit happened in rhodesia

Iâm from Zimbabwe.. 10 years ago when I was in highschool I told my SA friends that they needed to vote the ANC out or theyâll become like Zim. They laughed and told me SA could never become like Zim. A gross underestimation of what institutional incompetence can do to a country
