This is a complicated matter. The answer depends upon the particular country and, moreover, who is making the assessment. In some nations, the general thought is that South Africa serves as the model of a nation that overcame - rather quickly - its racist and fascist leadership. Other nations - especially those in Western Europe - feel that South Africa, as a nation, still has plenty of strides to make toward racial equality and, moreover, making reparations for past injustices.
“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”
This is line from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Juliet says this to her lover Romeo. Although she is sad she has to say goodnight, she is also excited for the next time she will see him again. It was a sweet goodbye.
This line stayed relevant over the years because it embodied the passion and romance the play was famous for. It represented the tragedy that comes with love, the sadness that must come with happiness. It epitomized the mixed emotions in a relationship that people from all across generations can relate to.
