Because of Mandela, South Africa is now the most unsafe region in the world, with the highest rates of murder, robbery, rape and AIDS in the world.
Nelson Rolihera Mandela (18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was born in Transkei, South Africa, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Africa and a Bar at the University of the Witwatersrand.
He was the first black president of South Africa and was known as the "Father of the Nation" of South Africa.
Over the past 40 years, Mandela has won more than 100 awards, the most famous of which was the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. In 2004, he was voted the Greatest South African.
And the Chinese people's understanding of Mandela began with Beyond's song "Glorious Years" -
"When the bell rings to call home,
In his life,
It's a little embarrassing.
What black skin means to him,
It is a lifetime of dedication to the ...... in the struggle for skin color"
With the passage of time, beyond's songs have become classics and will forever be engraved in the memories of overseas jun's growth, but the evaluation of Nelson Mandela, whether it is overseas jun or others, has experienced a classic parabolic decline.
To this day, the fairest assessment of Mandela is that he is a saint of the whole world and a sinner of his own country.
1. He is a saint of the whole world
It is said that he is a saint of the whole world because of his great personal success.
When he was young, South Africa was under Boer rule, especially in 1958 when the South African authorities introduced the Bantustan Act, which imposed apartheid on 10 million black people in 12% of South African territory.
Mandela became the leader of the ANC's armed group, Spear of Nations, and was imprisoned for 27 years on charges of subversion by the South African authorities.
As a result, Mandela became a great man and received great honors.
He has won more than 100 awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, recognized by the United States, Russia, China, North Korea, and Arab countries, and received honorary doctorates from famous universities around the world, including Peking University, Harvard, Cambridge, etc. In short, Mandela has gained recognition across ideologies, races, religions, and cultures, and has become a veritable great man at the beginning of the 21st century.
Mandela has a series of titles in South Africa: the father of the nation of South Africa, the president of the African National Congress, the first black president of South Africa, the founder of national reconciliation, and the greatest man in the history of South Africa. He is a great man in the world who is as famous as Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
But the reason why a great man becomes a great man mainly means that his spirit lives on. A great man is used to lead, and he can be a lamp that shines on the world. Or even become Jesus, turning legends about Him into holy and inspiring.
But great men cannot be secularized.
2. He is a sinner in South Africa
Let's take stock of his "political achievements" one by one.
1. Nuclear abandonment
South Africa turned out to be a developed country and belonged to the Western camp. However, due to the long-term detention of Mandela and the policy of apartheid, it was sanctioned by the international community and became the most isolated country in Western society.
To this end, the former South African government, like North Korea today, spent huge sums of money to build nuclear weapons and become a nuclear power in an attempt to break the blockade between the United States and Russia.
In order to get South Africa to abandon nuclear weapons, the United States, the former Soviet Union and Russia can be said to have spent a lot of effort, and for decades, sanctions, blockades, co-optation, temptation, and all kinds of means have been used, and they have almost not used force, but they have not worked.
A few months after Mandela came to power, he announced that South Africa would abandon nuclear weapons and unconditionally hand over nuclear weapons to the United Nations. Neither compensation was demanded from the international community, nor was it taken into account the enormous costs previously paid by the State and the feelings of the previous South African Government.
This move made the United States and Russia ecstatic!
This is equivalent to the fulfillment of the long-cherished wish of generations without spending a single soldier and at no cost. It is truly a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
But what about South Africa's national interests?
You know, Mandela is already a South African president, not a prisoner in prison. As a prisoner you can be noble, you can stand and talk without backache. But as the president of a country, you must always put the national interest first. In this regard, Mandela is far inferior to Aung San Suu Kyi.
2. About illegal immigration
After South Africa abandoned its nuclear weapons, the international community rejoiced. A Western reporter interviewed Mandela and asked, "What do you plan to do with illegal immigrants from African countries stranded in South Africa?" Mandela said without hesitation, "People are born to seek freedom, and free countries will not fail to welcome people who pursue freedom." ”
As a result, the illegal immigrants who refused to let go of the former South African government became legal South African citizens overnight.
Not only that, but because this policy has no restrictions on the area and timeliness, the worst people in the worst countries in Africa have flocked to South Africa, and they have all become South African citizens in an instant.
Today, South Africa is the most unsafe region in the world, with the highest rates of murder, robbery, rape and the highest incidence of AIDS in the world.
In 2005, the United Nations declared South Africa a new base for international terrorism.
You know, South Africa under the former South African government is the safest region in Africa and one of the best security countries in the world.
3. On trade barriers
After Mandela came to power, he was deeply seduced by the trade liberalization of Europe and the United States, and dismantled the trade barriers created by the former South African government overnight, declaring South Africa to become a free trade country.
In this way, the biggest beneficiaries are manufacturing powers such as the United States, Britain and Japan.
Foreign products entered South Africa in a big way, and the South African manufacturing industry was crushed in an instant. South Africa's state-owned enterprises are grossly undervalued, and a large number of assets are being bought by foreign capital at low prices.
It is true that trade barriers impede trade liberalization, but the removal of trade barriers needs to be weighed carefully.
In general, the regions that do not have trade barriers in the world are city-states or regions such as Panama and Hong Kong. A traditional manufacturing country like South Africa is tantamount to digging its own grave to dismantle trade barriers overnight without any transition or compensation.
4. On deindustrialization
As we all know, South Africa is the most industrialized country in Africa, and with its strong industrial and financial industries, South Africa has become a world industrial power.
When Mandela came to power, he didn't care about it.
International extremist environmentalists saw that it was profitable and encouraged Mandela to go green. For a country like South Africa, which has made environmental protection similar to that of Europe, there is nothing to do about environmental protection, and if it is done, it will have to be deindustrialized.
What is Deindustrialization?
Deindustrialization is to abandon the basic national policy of building a manufacturing country, cancel all preferential treatment for manufacturing, and even raise taxes. This kind of problem is something that even ordinary people know about and can't do, because it is necessary to take into account the laid-off workers and the employment rate.
But Mandela did it. Not only did it happen, but it also did it without hesitation, and it was extremely thorough. Coupled with the fact that trade barriers have been dismantled, South Africa's manufacturing industry has been devastated, and in just a few years, the South African market has been completely occupied by foreign countries.
As a result, South Africa's manufacturing industry has moved to Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. The glory of the past, the efforts and accumulation of South African entrepreneurs for hundreds of years, disappeared overnight. Chairman Mao: Those who seek great things must read this book.
5. On open finance
Everyone on earth knows that the former South Africa was founded on industry and finance. Cape Town was once the largest financial centre in Africa. After Mandela destroyed South Africa's industry, he went on the financial sector.
The financial industry is related to a country's economic security and is the lifeblood of the national economy. However, at the instigation of the United States and Britain, Mandela blindly opened up the financial industry and allowed foreign capital to take control of its own financial enterprises.
Within a few years, South Africa's banks and financial companies were controlled by foreign capital.
In 2017, South Africa's sovereign rating had fallen to junk status.
Twenty years ago, it was a developed country and one of the "BRICS", but now it is in the company of countries like Botswana and Mozambique.
6. On the Negro Governing the State
After Mandela came to power, the first thing he did was to suppress whites, and of course all the previous employment policies that prioritized whites and restricted blacks' access were abolished.
In particular, the unemployment rate among black South Africans remains high after the manufacturing exodus. Mandela demanded that blacks be recruited not only by private companies, but also by the government, schools, hospitals, the army, and the police.
As a result, a large number of blacks with very low educational qualifications and even illiterate were enriched into government offices and schools, hospitals, and military and police departments.
Not only that, black intellectuals complained that the previous white regime was too strict with black people's access to industries and demanded that the threshold be lowered. Mandela, of course, had to conform to the people's sentiments, and in this way, South Africa's medical licensing examinations and accountants were lowered again and again, and now black South Africans can obtain these qualifications with a little effort.
The lowering of industry access standards has dealt a devastating blow to South Africa's healthcare and accounting industries.
Under the white South African government, South Africa has world-class medical standards. The world's first heart transplant was performed in South Africa. Nowadays, even Chinese do not dare to see a doctor in South Africa, and a cold and fever hurried back to China, for fear that the South African hospital would issue the wrong medicine.
South Africa's securities industry, which used to be internationally famous, has now basically collapsed, and the securities market has shifted to Australia, where the quality of the employees in South Africa's domestic securities industry is low, and malpractice is serious.
South Africa's once-dominant service sector has also been wiped out.
South Africa's military, police, and other disciplined forces quickly collapsed, neglecting their duties, and corruption spread. Due to the low quality of the police, they are at a loss when they encounter vicious cases. Coupled with the large number of immigrants from the surrounding garbage countries, social security in South Africa has become hopeless.
III. Conclusion
Mandela is only suitable to be a great man, not a country.
Great men can provide ideas, provide examples of extreme behaviors that ordinary people cannot. But most of his ideas and concepts are universal and not necessarily suitable for a country or nation. Once a great man applies his universal ideas to governing the country, it means that disaster is coming......
