@Earnest: nobody says the prior government wasn’t bad, but the above is all well documented. The ANC denies it is happening. As far as “reparations” - under Apartheid no property was ever seized, under ANC it is, as you said with minimal to no compensation for “sins” supposedly committed 300 years ago by some ancestor when the majority of the black population were nomadic. There were no widespread Xhosa settlements. What areas the Xhosa had remained as homeland areas under apartheid. The Afrikaner did not confiscate Xhosa lands. The ANC represents mostly tribes from the Zulu nation that came from the North around early 1800s, long after British and Dutch had already “taken” the land. There are other parties representing other tribes in South Africa, but they are, like whites, in the minority and have been killed as well by the ANC
Nobody is saying Apartheid was good but “the devil you know” was better for many of the other political groups which is how Apartheid remained in place. Even Noam Chomsky wrote about this early on, how Anti-Apartheid basically was a ploy to get cheap land and labor.
