After the end of the apartheid, South Africa changed significantly, with the black population gaining all the rights that they deserved and were neglected for very long time. Unfortunately, that was not the only change. The country entered a new political era, and lot of politicians in this nation were without proper education or experience in politics. This led to large scale corruption, thus the economy of the country started to slow down in its development. Another big problem was and still is that some of the leaders are propagating racism, and they motivate the black population to take revenge on the white population for the past and exterminate them. This has led to lot of sexual violations, murders, and destruction of properties of white people in South Africa, so instead of the problem with the racism being solved, it actually just changed sides and became even more extreme.
