Crime was lower. Investment was strong. Health care was better. Employment was better. No wonder Whites left for Australia, Holland, England, Canada, Ireland, U.S.A. If I was in post 1994 South Africa I would have left as well.
In post-apartheid South Africa, unemployment has been extremely high. While many blacks have risen to middle or upper classes, the overall unemployment rate of blacks worsened between 1994 and 2003.[29] Poverty among whites, previously rare, increased.[30] While some have attributed this partly to the legacy of the apartheid system, increasingly many attribute it to the failure of the current government's policies. In addition, the current government has struggled to achieve the monetary and fiscal discipline to ensure both redistribution of wealth and economic growth. Since the ANC-led government took power, the United Nations Human Development Index of South Africa has fallen, while it was steadily rising until the mid-1990s.[31] Some of this could possibly be attributed to the AIDS pandemic and the failure of the government to take steps to address it.[32]
