Apartheid Leaves Mandela
Tremendous Problems
Johannesburg, South Africa (NBNS) - The system of apartheid
was good to the minority white population in South Africa. It gave
them power and the highest standard of living on the African
continent. But apartheid’s legacy confronts incoming President Nelson
Mandela with a myriad problems because the system was based on the
super oppression of blacks. The result: about half of all blacks do not
have jobs, the vast majority of young people do not have high school
educations and black fam ily structure has been significantly damaged
in urban areas. Further, apartheid’s divide and rule tactics have
helped created divisions and animosities among various tribal groups.
The Zulus, for example, are expected to be a source of violence and
disruption. Another source of violence will be right wing whites who
now want an independent “white only” homeland in South Africa.

tions Many blacks expect the Mandela victory to immediately lead to
a betterment in their standard of living. But that is not likely to happen
given the host of problems Mandela will face.
