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.
