South Africa was once the jewel of Africa – now it’s Africa’s Trash Dump.
My first night in South Africa I was mugged when taking cash from an ATM by two young black men. As I walked away a stranger said “Welcome to South Africa”. This was 20 years ago. It has only gotten worse.Â
The following was reported on X:
When the ANC assumed power in 1994, they inherited the most sophisticated economic engine on the African continent.
They were handed a deep-water port network, a highly complex rail system that efficiently moved freight from the interior to the coast, an integrated national power grid that generated some of the cheapest electricity in the world, and a professional, rule-bound civil service.
That system possessed underlying engineering and administrative principles that were globally competitive.
The historical task of the new government was simple: maintain the existing engineering standards, scale the capacity to include the black majority, and expand the productive tax base.
Instead, the ANC executed a 30 year masterclass in structural vandalism.
They introduced cadre deployment, incompetence, corruption, and political impunity, systematically replacing competent engineers, financial auditors, and institutional administrators with politically loyal party hacks.
The results are not ideological; they are physical.
It takes centuries of capital accumulation, spatial planning, and disciplined maintenance to build an interconnected civilization, but it takes only a few decades of deliberate neglect to destroy it.
You can see the rot in real-time.
The ultimate tragedy is that the liberation movement successfully decoupled its survival from the material reality of the country.
The ANC did not “decolonize” South Africa; they simply consumed its foundational capital.
They proved that an elite equipped with nothing but liberation slogans and an insatiable appetite for state contracts can liquidate 300 years of built infrastructure in just three decades, leaving the next generation to inherit a broken, unmanageable corpse.
