    When I was in Zambia back in 1988,1989 and 1990 I heard news about the aparthied in South Africa everyday. Everyday I heard the true story from Radio Zambia while the news outlets in South Africa made up their report of it by deflating the number of deaths. Radio Zambia always told the truth reporting about it and I loved it!

      Number of deaths? You are ignorant of the truth. The largest number of deaths during apartheid was during the infiting of the ANC and the IFP in the struggle to become the Kings of South Africa. Go and research the period of 1990 to 1994 and the term necklacing to see how black South Africans deal with black South Africans.
      Apartheid was wrong, but the aim was never to kill black South Africans.

    • @any0n378
      @any0n378 Год назад

      And radio Zambia? Zambia supported and harboured the ANC terrorist groups, allowing them to travel to South Africa and Namibia to plant landmines and blow up malls and churches and then flee back to Zambia.
      You are foolish to think that Radio Zambia fed you the truth. In the same way that radio in South Africa was responsible for propaganda, radio Zambia was responsible for opposing propaganda.

      Common citizens in the western world are ignorant of what Africa and Africans are being inflicted by their own governments. As an example, UK subjects hardly knew of the war wedged by their then government during the independance war in the US. Most of them are discovering those disturbing facts and truths via Google. Needless to explain that hadn't it been for the advent of the Internet, they would still be kept in the dark! Indeed, the world needs to be educated on hard truths and facts to dispel those propangadas which are only intended for manipulation.

    Amazing Video, great job. When Apartheid fell, whites left in droves. He had to be lenient for the sake of the economy. All the wealth was in white hands, introducing punitive measures would've capitulated the country. Also, Mandela had seen what happened to other African countries soon after gaining independence and so was faced with a tough decision, peace over radical transformation. Remember the black majority in the country also had different beliefs and ideologies amongst themselves, It is a miracle how South Africa was able to avoid internal conflict. Mandela played his part to the best of his abilities which is why I disagree with those that say he sold out. As South Africans, we've been dealt the toughest hand. Being part of a global, already past industrial age society makes it difficult for us to catch up in terms of creating real wealth. South Africans need real sustainable work, that's the only way out of this situation.

This new generation (my gen) called gen Z and part of Gen M need to come to a realization that the west will forever manipulate us until we unity as one and fight for what is ours. Until then, the Africa nation will forever remain at the mercy of the west. We need great minds like Gaddafi, Mandela and ofcus, Patrice Lumumba.

      The West's manipulation? Explain the Genocide in Rwanda, tribal fighting and massacres all over Africa for thousands of years, the Mfecane and the fact that there is still no peace in most African countries, 50 to 60 years after the west left.
      Africa will only change and prosper when it stops looking for others to blame for its problems and starts solving them by itself.

      I dunno. From what I've seen in this video, he mainly managed to encourage the people to protest and later formed a militant organization to cause terror. The rest of his life was spent in prison. Apparently the drastic change in the South African leadership and the hugely historic events that came during 1989 to 1991 mainly influenced the end of apartheid.

      @@outerspace7391 His impact was that he served as the spearhead for those protesting against apartheid, like MLK did in the US. The actions of Nelson Mandela and his unwillingness to "sell-out" to the South African apartheid authorities certainly affected foreign perceptions of apartheid South Africa which in turn led to it's inability to survive following the end of the Cold War. In many regards he was a spiritual leader for the fight against South Africa's apartheid and authoritarian tyranny. In regards to his support for MK, I'll say that I don't necessarily agree with Nelson's support for them but I can definitely see why he did. MK was a reaction to the apartheid government's far heavier use of force and terror on native Africans and "colored" people and I can see why MK would be formed and use the tactics it did against the apartheid government. The South African government was a much stronger established terrorist power with a vested interest in using it's power to terrorize, kill, and intimidate the much more numerous and disenfranchised native African people. I see using MK to fight them as a necessary evil that certainly overstepped it's boundaries but was justified in being used to fight the South African apartheid authorities. I hate violence but the South African authorities were willing to use every excuse and tool in their arsenal to terrorize the people of South Africa and as such, the African people needed a faction to fight them on the militant front. If you need me to explain my thoughts further I can, but that's how I view MK and Nelson Mandela (as an imperfect man, but a hero nonetheless).

      There no need for widespread nationalization of all major industries in the economy. The government can function in a mixed economy that tolerates but regulates capitalism, but there's also state owned enterprises for production & sale of electricity, affordable Transport, farms and butcheries ,national parks and reserves ran by the state. The government alongside business can create employment and government can tax businesses and workers reasonably and use those funds to create efficient social services like quality basic & higher education, quality housing and healthcare etc to promote equality and right historical wrongs. The fundamental principle is that the state functions in a market economy for the satisfaction of basic needs like affordable and quality food, safety, housing etc and the private enterprises will satisfy our desires or wants like iPhones and PlayStations. It's simple but the politics and corruption can sometimes make it impossible. That's how some of the wealthiest and simultaneously happiest countries like Norway and Denmark do it. We try to do the same in SA but the toxic politics and corruption have our State owned enterprises failing and constantly being bailed out by taxpayers instead of turning a profit they'll use to eliminate inequality and improve the society the taxpayers live in

      Very nice sentiment. Tragically yet ironically, the ANC has now become the oppressor. They’ve become intoxicated by power and refuse to make meaningful changes to the country for fear of losing that power. There are many things they could do to help lessen the current crisis: increase income taxes to get more from the still ridiculously disproportionally -wealthy whites (especially when the cost of living there is still fairly low right now) and use that extra income to invest more in electricity production, initiate reforms to help cut down on corruption, maybe create a federal system that could allow different regions of such a diverse country to better fulfill their specific needs. But they don’t. Because then they lose some of their power. If Mandela was still around today, he would be appalled by what has happened to the ANC. Once again, South Africans need to stand up against the ANC for a better future.

      They were fighting communism not blacks. In fact it was mostly black on black killings.
      White farmers in SA have literally the highest death rate of any other occupation in the world

    I really never understood history especially in school. Now just hitting 30 I find myself wanting to learn as much as possible and love your videos. However, it pains me to watch at times bc the anger and disgust I feel in my stomach and the way humans treat other humans and how anyone could be okay with treating others as if they weren't even a human. How do these people in charge get to these positions? Pure evil.

      @@98TrueRocker98 I mean, does it make any difference on what a person is worth? Does it make anyone "superior" than another? In certain fields like sports, as you mentioned, maybe yes. But overall as a human, no way. As for math, you might be right or it might be more of a cultural thing. Black people have composed wonderful, complex music pieces for example. That's math in its basis. For the record, I'm a white european.

    I would like to thank you for making these well researched and sited videos of Africa, its history and leaders. Being South African it is good to see such great reporting done.
    I have always seen Mandela as a role model, however I feel that many other activists such as Steve Biko, Chris Hani and Oliver Tambo and more receive little recognition for their momentous effort and sacrifice for a better future. I know they were never president but if you ever come back to another video on RSA, their history is something that would be great to see represented.
    And just a note that after Mandela's release, the 18 months prior to his presidency were some of the most violent, controversial and important, highlighting this period is important.
    In general, please continue making these videos as they really help explain the good and the bad of all our leaders and countries, which ultimately will help the future generation to learn and forge a better future.

    I love this channel. African history in school here (Germany) is sadly mostly limited to "This country got colonized by X in the year 1XXX and got independence in 19XX". The only parts I know a little more about from school is the north coast, but even there it's only ancient history (Egypt and Rome). You really help me understand the layered and diverse history of this giant continent. Thank you!
