There were no blacks in South Africa when whites settles there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but black people moved there illegally for a century and than expected to be given a place in a society that in no way did they own a share in?

The rest of the world bullied South Africa relentlessly until they were forced to turn the country their ancestors built over to black Africans?

Was there more at play here? Mineral rights?

I think it was mainly to get access to the minerals and natural resources.

An industry dominated by European/American owned MNCs where black security guards shoot black workers who protest over pay. That worked out well.

It actually backfired because the government can't really stop the striking workers. The Marikana Massacre didn't achieve anything.

Just a fucked country. A few dynasties will survive, foreign companies and a few South Africans will make a fortune from the mineral wealth, politicians will continue to fuck country while stealing public money and townships will grow, bloated by the addition of the white poor.

Look at what the Arabs have managed with mineral wealth. Still mostly shitholes but at least they aren't known for crime, tribal warfare and squandering money.
