The world is advancing, but there is a country that is "regressing" the fastest.

It only took five years to change from "a lot of money" to "poor".

It can even be said that the country that has "regressed" the fastest in the world!

So who is it, and why is it so regressing?

Let's take a look at South Africa, the "rainbow country" located on the land of Africa

The "Golden Country" of South Africa

South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, and its own mineral resources are very rich, and the total resources can even account for half of Africa!

In addition, the output of gold and diamonds can be at the forefront of the world, so it is also known as the "Golden Country".

At that time, South Africa also relied on its own abundant natural resources, which also made the local economy develop rapidly.

It also had a very good industrial and military development, and even in the twentieth century, South Africa's industrialization was at the forefront of the entire southern hemisphere.

Even for a period of time, South Africa's economic growth could be compared with Japan's, which had the fastest economic development at that time, and it was the fastest growing country in Africa.

Because of South Africa's trade, science and technology and cultural prosperity, South Africa at this time basically achieved the basic standards of developed countries.

Even in some areas, it surpassed most developed countries at the time, and the world's first heart transplant was performed in South Africa.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance

At that time, the main ruler of South Africa was the British, and more than 90% of the local blacks were in a state of extreme poverty in such a prosperous era!

In fact, cheap black labor is also one of the reasons why South Africa's economy is growing so fast.

As the saying goes, "where there is oppression, there is resistance". It also led to constant conflicts between black South Africans and whites for democracy and freedom.

It is also because of the long-term poverty and oppression suffered by black people that black people in South Africa have repeatedly fought against racism.

It was at this time that Nelson Mandela, a controversial South African leader, emerged.

And in a series of black rebellions, Mandela was successfully elected by the blacks as the leader of South Africa.

South African leader Nelson Mandela

Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa, in 1918 and was a lawyer before joining the rebellion.

Since then, Mandela has been involved in the anti-white movement and has successfully led several anti-racial movements.

In 1962, Mandela was also sent to prison by the white South African authorities for his struggle against whites, where he was imprisoned for 27 years.

In prison, Mandela was internationally respected for his noble character and will, and won the Nobel Peace Prize and other awards, at which time Mandela became the "spiritual leader" of black South Africans.

In 1990, because of the international sanctions imposed on white South Africans, the release of quarantine was announced and Mandela was released.

Subsequently, Mandela, the "spiritual leader" of the black South Africans, was extremely prestigious in the hearts of the black people of the world.

and later became the first black president of South Africa, Mandela did a lot of policies for black people after coming to power.

South Africa's economy has been in regression

And the current controversy over Mandela, it can be said that he is a great civil rights leader, but he is not a good president!

It was because the new government abolished the previous policy of preferential treatment for whites, which also led to a large number of whites being driven out of their jobs, but most of the uneducated blacks were unable to take up white jobs.

In addition, the government introduced a large number of policies that favored blacks and encouraged black employment, which even led to various enterprises employing only blacks to work.

This has also led to the gradual collapse of the local economy and development, and the white elite of South Africa can only choose to emigrate abroad, which has also led to a large number of professionals and management talents emigrating overseas!

It is worth mentioning that Musk, the world's famous rich man and the boss of Tesla, is one of the white South African families who immigrated to the United States from South Africa.

At this time, South Africa also led to a large number of business closures due to the mass loss of highly skilled personnel, and technology also stagnated.

South Africa's economy has regressed badly, and even in Africa, its economic aggregate has gradually been overtaken by other countries.

Not only industry, but also South Africa's financial sector, health care, was in decline because of the control of blacks.

Later, due to the lack of education and experience of black people, South Africa's electricity and transportation system could not be maintained, and the lack of electricity also affected the development of industry.

South Africa's current form has also caused the unemployment rate in South Africa to soar, even becoming the country with the highest unemployment rate in Africa.

In addition, the new government led by Nelson Mandela scrapped the previous policy of cracking down on illegal immigration, which also led to a large influx of blacks from other African countries to South Africa.

The new government has also pursued a policy of "good governance", which has also led to a large number of corrupt officials, who have intensified their efforts knowing that they will not be severely punished!

The new government has also abolished the death penalty, which has led to a spike in crime, compounded by the inadequacy of South Africa's security services.

This has led to chaos in South Africa, and it can even be said that the South African judicial system has collapsed.

According to statistics, more than one million women are raped in South Africa every year, AIDS has reached 30%, and robberies and brawls are frequent.

This, coupled with the new government's repeal of its previously announced policy to combat illegal immigration, has led to an influx of blacks from other African countries to South Africa.

This move also made South Africa, which was already in economic regression and law and order chaos, slump and regress even faster.

So far, South Africa's finances have also become overwhelmed, and there are a large number of idle and idle blacks in society, and South Africa's economy and security environment are gradually declining.

Epilogue:

Once upon a time, South Africa was also a prosperous country on the African continent and even in the world, and was even known as the "Golden Country", and its developed economy and unique charm attracted the attention of many people.

Now, due to a series of reasons, it has led to political turmoil, rampant corruption, currency depreciation, and soaring crime, and now South Africa can be said to have shown itself in front of the world in a tragic way.
