What a mess.
30yrs after independence the country is headed ZImbabwe way.
Very poor leadership, after Mandela. Zuma was a thug, and the current guy doesnt seem to be any effective

Apart from a short decade after apartheid when they sort of took off, they are running on the fumes of what kaburus left for them.  Sad to watch in real time.

Actually they took advantage of the naive African continent which embraced them ,they expanded outwards made lots of money but this dint last,the boer is the engine of south African economy

It is a matter of time before Kenya overtakes SA, Egypt, and Morroco and Keeps Nigeria at bay to be Africa's Paradise. We wasted six years under the handshake government. Still, we are steamrolling to prosperity with exceptional precision, killing corruption, subjecting the country to the rule of law, expanding democratic freedoms, building strong families and institutions, and opening Kenya for business led by a thriving private sector and supported by the Government. In 2026-2027, we will compare notes. Take it from unofficial President's advisor!

Not morocco or egypt. The arabs have a much more advanced culture and we also need to remember that south african has 6 million mzungu's living there.  I have yet to see any african country that can defeat mzungu's

Nigeria has beaten, South Africa and Egypt in the last 10 years, and can bet Kenya will do it next. I don't see Mzungu in SA doing anything tangible other than poverty. For now, white South Africans are now very poor except the elites that stole during apartheid!

Not in our lifetime my fren. Keep on dreaming. RSA even with its current poor leadership is a powerhouse that even the incompetent Black leaders have not been able to bring it to its knees.

Nigeria is 4 times our population; Egypt double.

Nigeria is 4 times our population; Egypt double.

It's not about population size.  It's about a country's productivity rate.  What do these countries make?

Morocco makes things.  Egyptians make things. Those white south africans make things (this is why south africa is way ahead of any other country in sub-sahara. Those are dutch/german mzungu's.  What African can compete with them?

What do kenyans and other sub-saharan African countries make? They're too few factories, manufacturing plants, hardly any engineering, forget about scientific research.  Making babies is not enough.

Kenya cannot overtake SA in the 20-30 years. We have a corrupt government where thieves are appreciated and eulogized. We just had shakahola massacre where nearly 1000 people were killed in cold bold but because of our short memory we have moved on. This was an accident and I hope there is going to be a commission of enquiry formed to unearth who failed to do his job and then heads will roll. That said, the DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE is of late winning municipal elections including the City of Johannesburg because they offer services. In Kenya we even burn infants in the church for crying out loud. The lodiani guys are back on the roads to sell and everyone has moved on. Kenyans have stupid leaders.

We wasted 10 years under Uhuru; in Ruto's 10 years, I suspect Morocco and Algeria will be behind us and SA close. Watch the space! SA was number 1 10 years ago, now number 3 and failing hard. Amatter of time before it is 4th and 5th!
