Apartheid lasted until the early 1990s, and of course that history cannot be erased. The question is where do we go from here? What happens to all the poor people living in corrugated iron sheds? What happens when the rich, who pay a large part of the tax revenues, emigrate to Europe and the US? What happens when politicians become corrupt and put all the money in their own pockets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-9fc1447d default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-korta-fakta-om-apartheid\">Brief facts about Apartheid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time period:<\/strong> 1948\u20131994<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The meaning of the word: <\/strong>Seclusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Division into groups: <\/strong>White, black, Asian and coloured (people of mixed heritage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Segregation under Apartheid: <\/strong>Blacks and whites were segregated in all parts of society, in the form of different schools, hospitals, car parks, park benches, etc. Special residential areas were established for blacks outside the cities, and blacks could only visit the cities with a certificate to work. Voting rights were primarily for whites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The fall of apartheid: <\/strong>South Africa became a democracy in 1994.

Here are some of the things they have told us about the situation in South Africa. Please note that these statements cannot, of course, be generalised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought blacks and whites would live together more, after Apartheid, but it didn't happen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We live in a bubble.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mandela was a good leader, and so was his successor. But after that... The politicians are corrupt and self-serving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We plan to stay here in South Africa. But I am transferring money to the US and Europe, just in case.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me it's too late, but you want young people to move away from here. It's a \"brain drain\".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is very difficult for white people to get a job now. Even if you have a high education, it is difficult. And abroad you can get a salary that is three times higher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, they do not live in the same neighbourhoods. Between the white poor and the black poor, the differences are even greater. It's pure hatred. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immigrants from Malawi are more educated and willing to work harder. We are happy to employ them. Black South Africans are often lazy, but they get angry when immigrants take their jobs. In the past, black South Africans have captured Malawian immigrants and burned them alive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I handed in my gun for registration, but I had to bribe a person to get it back. It should not be like that, but you have no choice. You have to pay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most black people vote for the ANC, even though they realise that the T-shirt they get before the election is a bribe. But the politicians don't make things better for them, they put the money in their own pockets. Everyone here is corrupt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A black person who has grown up in a white environment can be called a 'coconut' - black on the outside and white on the inside.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Africa in 30 years?
