    Subscribe to Our History: bit.ly/3v5mKBG
    Nearly three decades after they met in the immediate aftermath of Mandela's release, Trevor returns to explore South Africa - hearing the stories of very different people who sum up a nation changed beyond all recognition since his first reports from the country in the mid-1980s - today a very different nation no doubt, but is it still a land of division and extremes? What has become of the Rainbow Nation?

    I am proudly South African. I was born during Apartheid and never understood it. As white school children we regularly had to practice fire drills and bomb scare drills. Some were real some weren't. I did not come from a wealthy home. If you were white and mixed with black people. Your phone was tapped and you were watched and in some cases murdered under sinister circumstances. South Africa today is still a divided country within races and across races. The colours of the rainbow are separate. Yes today I refer to South Africa as the licorice all sorts nation. They are sweets that are colourful and represent for me the unity in our country. I worked as a teacher for decades and soon realised we are pretty much all the same. I thoroughly enjoy your documentaries. You are one of the reasons I fled an abusive relationship because I commented to my then abuser that you spoke English so eloquently. Keep on being Awesome. Blessings from South Africa. Sue

    Love from the United States. I find South Africa an intriguing country with rich diversity. Many of us here in the United States drew a lot of comparison to our past of racial segregation and inequality and saw Nelson Mandela heralded as a peacemaker. Unfortunately, in both of our countries, there's still a lot of work to be done. Some parts of the U.S. are more segregated now than they were 30 years ago. Having grown up in Memphis, Tennessee back in the 90's, I have seen first hand things actually getting worse. But it's not all bad. I live in Atlanta now. In the wake of the George Floyd protests, I saw a lot of white, Black, Hispanic, and Asian people come together to stand for justice. Not everyone in this country is asleep.

    • @MG-pm5cw

      America is absolutely not like south africa at all. The only common thing is the racism segregation. The mindset of Americans is diluted and twisted by false news and by fear. South African people are loving are open minded are curious are aware of their own country and of the world. The justice system has failed the people of America. People live in fear of being themselves and are so aware of fitting in or you will be shunned or dismissed. You got to fit in or your bullied and pushed aside. I wish the poor are given more opportunities to flourish. Americans who are searching for higher meaning in the world are the ones who I would want in my corner. People live in fear and that's unfortunately bulldozed into their brains from a young age. The pressure put on kids to over achieve is massive. Which incurs major trauma and burn out. It's sad that one needs to excel in america in their field to really get to the top of their game. It's not the American dream. It's a false dream. It's harsh here if ure not born into money you're basically left to your own devices. I'm in Tennessee at tye moment as a South African I see how their isn't much middle ground. It reminds me much of cape town my home. The crime the desperation of the people who have been left behind. I feel like I'm living in the slavery times in america ehe. I drive through the country in arkansas. I feel that energy. It's still very much alive. And the people who have very little are rhe friendliest and want to know and learn about africa. Learn about their ancestors. The average person in the US wouldn't take the time to interact.

    50 years from now the history books on South Africa will simply read: “European colonists first settled on a permanent basis in 1652 and established a society based on a European model. However, unlike other settlements in America, Australia and New Zealand, the colonists always remained a minority and their government was eventually overthrown in 1994 by the majority of indigenous people. Subsequent to that transition, the country quickly regained the system of governance it had prior to colonisation. In such a system, regional and tribal strongmen rule without accountability amassing large personal wealth with no tolerance for opposition. Consequently, development stalled and the standard of living, life expectancy, per capita income, and literacy levels all declined for the broader population.”

I was tilled not to talk about a Pacific race & I was tilled that minoritys in SA are no longer to say south Africans, we to call south Africa Africans. I took a class at college here & one of my English reading book was talking about Apartheid and what the apartheid government did to the majority in Africa and it was shoking. I have no control over Africa. Nor did I had eney control of what happened in SA. Since me and my siblings were teenagers. We didn't think about politics we was just kids. So in this reading class that I took at college here in America was talking about the reconciliation programs that they started in SA after the fall of apartheid. I was in a class-room with all kids different efnisities. The class was for kids to learn English language and since English was my second language, since I had to take a test in English so they can figure out where or what English class I needed to take. Not only was the black Foulks treated Batley in sa. Some white folks also didn't get the Freedom that they was supposed to get. As you can see for your self, I am still struggling with English language and I was wiped with a wooden spoon on my hand for every misspelled word that I spelled wrong in English class in sa.

    The root cause of all the problems and inequality in South Africa are very simple:
    1) When the Dutch arrived in 1652 they encountered people who were still living in the Iron Age. By contrast, the first University in the Netherlands opened in Leiden in 1575. Bologna in 1088 was the first in Europe.
    2) There was an obvious difference in development between the Europeans and Africans. Could this development gap be overcome?
    3) Possibly, but in SA the population grew from 15,2m in 1955 to 59m in 2020 with the vast majority being black. That is growth of 43,8m people or 288%.
    4) The tax base in SA is simply too small to lift millions of people out of poverty. 5.8% of the population is paying approximately 92% of all personal tax and they are also paying about 85% of all VAT. Mathematically, it is impossible.
    5) These are gigantic problems and the ANC is not able to solve them. In fact it is getting worse and the load shedding is just evidence of the inability of the ANC government.
    6) Add to that unbridled corruption, open borders with an influx of foreigners, an inability to tackle crime and an education system which provides sub standard results, even the biggest ANC supporters have to admit that they can't blame everything on Apartheid.

      This is spot on, indeed. South Africa's gigantic's problems are perpetuated by an enormous development gap between the country's main race groups and an insufficient tax base to tackle these issues. And to be honest, I don't see a way out of this conundrum. For sure, the ANC is completely corrupt and has nothing but a kleptocracy to offer. But neither do I see how a non-corrupt government could solve South Africa's problems. The tax base is simply too small.

      @@rafaelw8115 You’re gaslighting, probably for militant political reasons. Jan never said that every single white person is more intelligent than every single black person. That would be a ludicrous and racist thing to say. What Jan did say, however, was that when the Dutch came into contact with the Khoi San on 6 April 1652, it was a Renaissance culture meeting a people that where still living in the Iron Age. Even though the Europeans would eventually meet other, more developed tribes such as the Zulu and the Xhosa, it can’t be denied that the Europeans as a group were far more advanced (in terms of science, technology, engineering, philosophy, arts, literature, music, poetry, etc.) than any of the African tribes they encountered. That’s not to say the Europeans were better people, or that black South Africans deserved to be discriminated. But this huge gap in human development does explain in part why it’s been so difficult for these two race groups to coexist in the same country. And to be honest, I’m afraid the situation is almost hopeless for all of the reasons explained by Jan.

    He should explore the present state of apartheid in South Africa, where the ANC, the ruling 'Africanist' party, has re-legislated the most draconian forms of apartheid in the form of black economic empowerment, affirmative action, employment equity and quotas, where 'whites' are excluded from universities, employment, supplier chain contracts, national sports teams, and even, most recently, farmers have to meet black ownership targets - up to 75% - to have access to river water for irrigation.

      Pay back is going against all Mandela wished for the country of south africa. You can't undo the atrocities of our history but we sure can move forward with the knowledge that the country has moved leaps and bounds to make it a country we van be proud of. I do wish the government and the offshoot of the new generation of apartheid didn't have so much intense hatred and desire to put the people who made them suffer. Suffer the same fate. I've experienced it first hand the reverse racism in the work place. Its scary and down right atrocious. The black people have been given massive opportunity since Mandela came into power it's the corrupt uneducated people in powerful positions who are the most dangerous of all. Their offspring learning from this new found power is trickling down into every corner of south africa.

      @manueldumont3709 Socialism in it pure form has been prover to not work. Actually the more government control, the worst it is for the population. As human nature is to control others and lift their own selves and family over others. Total power and control corrupts totally. Some socialist ideas make sense but only in the context of a free opportunity society. A level playing field where everyone contributes flat unavailable tax. Everyone can have opportunities no matter rich or poor.
