But while black South Africans are politically equal, they still don’t enjoy economic equality with whites.
The disparities are perhaps best illustrated by the country’s black townships.

Fred Sanford Says:
Perhaps if South Africa returned to apartide the standard of living for the average Black-south African would increase due to the industrious managing of the countries economy by the white minority. The GDP of South Africa has declined since the blacks took over. Freedom does not mean that everything is free. It takes hard work to build a nation– stop crying and start working!!!!
