The question that should be asked is what is the result of this new freedom?

28 years after "freedom" the ANC elite has effectively looted the state and private enterprises of just about everything. There is not a state enterprise or company that is not bankrupt. The post office has disappeared, SAA has disappeared leaving $bns in debt. Eskom (the state power company with nuclear reactors) cannot even keep the lights on and government debt has dropped below junk status. Poverty and crime are rampant and the life of the poorest has if anything worsened.

The $bn lent by the IMF to help fight covid was siphoned off into private bank accounts within days. Schools and hospitals are falling apart, roads are potholed and most government services have evaporated.

That this has followed the path set by just about every African country begs the question what did these heroes achieve?

Yes shadowminister decolonization and “freedom” has not delivered great outcomes for Africa. Decolonization delivers rich corrupt African elites. For white-Africans and non-elite black Africans it delivered a mess. It also delivered a problem for Europe in the form of mass migration by Africans fleeing the mess. A new book examines this mess:
Louw, P.E. Decolonization and white-Africans. The ‘winds of change’, resistance and beyond (Washington/London: Academica Press).
