Because South Africa's ** Mandela implemented a lot of policies that discriminated against whites, which led to the exodus of whites, and at the same time took away advanced technology and capitalThis led to a rapid regression in South Africa.
After the Second World War, the rapid development of the world economy, especially in some developing countries such as China and India, once led the trend of development. Of course, if there is a positive economic development, there will be continuous regression. For example, Serbia in Europe, and Myanmar in Southeast Asia.
In addition, South Africa is also a typical example of economic regression, South Africa was once the only developed country in Africa, but it only took five years for South Africa's economy to change from rich and developed to poor and backward.
Because South Africa was once a British colony, its own industrial foundation is very strong, so after World War II, South Africa's economy rose rapidly. South Africa's industrial development is reflected in diversification, and in economic development, South Africa has established an industrial system with machinery manufacturing, steel, chemicals, mining, transportation, etc. as the core. Moreover, driven by industry, agriculture has also realized mechanized production, which not only improves efficiency, but also gradually increases grain output.
Until South Africa, it once became the breadbasket of Africa, which could meet the needs of refugees throughout Africa.
However, the situation of rapid economic development came to an abrupt end after South Africa's ** Mandela came to power. Due to the large number of black people in South Africa, Mandela suppressed whites in order to consolidate his position. He took back the land of the white farmers and gave it to the blacks.
In addition, blacks were ruthlessly ousted from power by appointing blacks as leaders in the industrial system.
In terms of policy, he introduced a lot of policies that discriminated against whites, which led to many whites being forced to leave South Africa, and at the same time, whites also took advanced technology and capital with them. As a result, many enterprises and farms have entered a state of shutdown due to lack of technology or funds. As a result, South Africa's economy has stagnated, completely regressing from a rich and developed country to the poverty line.
It is foreseeable that South Africa's economy will not improve well for a long time in the future.

South Africans are very lazy, they don't develop other industries every day, they always expect to dig diamonds and sell them for money, so they will eat in South Africa. South Africa is particularly poor at the moment.
-
Because South Africa's economic strength is relatively weak, and their population is relatively dense, and the quality of the population is generally low, so in the face of the rapid development of other countries' economic strength, South Africa has become the country with the fastest regression.
-
There are several possibilities, one is that the quality of the people has not improved. On the other hand, the leadership capacity of the head of state is also very limited. There is no major economic exchange with other countries. This may be a few of the points.
-
1. Poor periphery of the world geographical location.
South Africa is an "isolated periphery" in the world, neither the epicenter of the world's geopolitical landscape, nor the choke point of the world's major shipping routes.
2. Lack of support from economically developed neighbors.
Looking around South Africa, the sea is to the south, and neighboring countries to the north, such as Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and other countries are economically underdeveloped. Some of these countries are only able to solve their own food and clothing problems and take care of themselves, and some countries are still in an environment of war and disease, and there is no way to talk about economic cooperation with South Africa.
3. Political chaos after independence.
After South Africa's independence in 1961, under the rule of Westerners who were more aware of the laws of economic development and the operation of the state, South Africa's social and economic development reached a new stage. But at the same time, serious social inequality prompted the black people of South Africa to launch a vigorous anti-apartheid movement.
After the abolition of apartheid, I thought that there would be a situation of great ethnic integration, but I did not expect that it would backfire, and the problem of ethnic estrangement became more complicated and thorny.
Overview of the Republic of South Africa.
South Africa is the 33rd largest economy in the world, one of the largest and most developed countries in Africa, with the highest level of development and the most modern infrastructure in Africa, and is the only country in Africa that has mastered the technology of artificial satellite operation. Another important factor in South Africa's better development than other African countries is that it has the richest mineral resources in Africa and the world, especially gold and diamonds.
South Africa has long been a middle power and a regional power in Africa, and is a founding member of the United Nations, the World Bank Group, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the Commonwealth, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, SADC and the Rim-India Union, and the only member of the G20 in Africa.

Since the beginning of black power, South Africa's AIDS rate, crime rate, and corruption rate have increased dramatically, coupled with the flight of many white elites, which has completely hollowed out the South African country. South Africa is not the only country that has been in decline due to the rise of blacks, the other is Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in Africa, Zimbabwe is under the rule of the British, plus the whole country is very rich in mineral resources, the development is very rapid, and people live a worry-free life. That all changed when the black man Mugabe** came to power, and Zimbabwe faced inflation because Zimbabwe had issued too many oversized banknotes over a decade or so.
In the face of such inflation, it is useless to have money alone, people still can't buy food if they have money, and the whole country is falling into poverty and hunger because of the attack of inflation. Zimbabwe's decline predates South Africa's decline decades before South Africa's rise to power.
The white people who had skills and knowledge in South Africa were forced to leave South Africa, and since then, South Africa has lost its social elite, leaving only the group of blacks who are the masters, which gradually led to the decline of South Africa.
The current state of the South African economy
South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa, the per capita living standard is among the best in Africa, the industrial system is the most complete in Africa, the deep well mining technology is in the forefront of the world, and minerals are the main economic factors of South Africa. South Africa is a middle-income developing country and one of the most economically developed countries in Africa. Natural resources are abundant.
The financial and legal systems are relatively perfect, and the infrastructure such as communications, transportation, and energy is good. Mining, manufacturing, agriculture and service industries are all relatively developed, and are the four pillars of the economy, and deep mining and other technologies are in the leading position in the world. However, the development of various sectors and regions of the national economy is unbalanced, and the dual economic characteristics of urban and rural, black and white are obvious.
In the early 80s and early 90s of the last century, the economy was affected by international sanctions, and there was a recession. The new South Africa** formulated the "Reconstruction and Development Plan", which emphasized the social and economic advancement of black people. The Growth, Employment, and Redistribution Program was launched in 1996 to reduce the fiscal deficit and increase labor market flexibility through privatization.
Measures such as promoting exports, relaxing foreign exchange controls, and encouraging the development of small and medium-sized enterprises have achieved economic growth, increased employment, and gradually changed the situation of irrational distribution. In 2006, the "South African Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative" was implemented to increase economic intervention and promote employment and poverty alleviation through measures such as strengthening infrastructure construction, implementing the strategy of prioritizing industry development, strengthening education and human resource training.

As we all know, South Africa is one of the fastest-growing countries on the African continent, and it is also a relatively rich country on the African continent. However, it eventually went into decline, both in terms of the country's own problems and some objective problems in the international community.
Mandela led South Africa to the realization of the African people's own power, but the blacks were so oppressed and enslaved by the whites for so long that they were not good at governing the countryMoreover, blacks are more lazy and have no sense of responsibility, which also leads to the country's economic regression and political instability, which will inevitably involve economic development, which is also a big reason.
In addition, there are also white people in South Africa who migrate a lot of their domestic wealth abroad, after all, in South Africa, the economic power is still in the hands of a few whites, not blacks, so this is also a small part. Of course, the most important reason is that its own development path is incorrect and has great defectsTherefore, most of the reasons have to be attributed to themselves, rather than mainly to these objective reasons.
In addition, the education system in South Africa is not very perfectAs the saying goes, children are the pillars of the country, education can not keep up, children can not become pillars, the country's education level is not high, directly affecting the development of the economy, so South Africa is more and more backward, and its employment rate is not high, the unemployment rate is quite high, but also affects its development.
-
After the end of the Second World War, South Africa slowly changed from a developed country to a backward country.
-
South Africa's rapid development is due to its abundant local resources, and its income is much less because of the gradual reduction of resources in the later period.
-
South Africa was suppressed mainly because it did not do very well militarily.
-
Because in the past, development relied on its own natural resources, but now there are not so many natural resources.
-
Because South Africa is a country that exports natural resources, the status of natural resources is not so obvious now.
-
Africa has not been developed, let alone lagged behind, since the beginning.
-
It's all the fault of the war, otherwise how could South Africa have declined so quickly.
-
In the end, it's all political. Economically, South Africa still has a lot of problems.
-
It's all because of the war, and it's slowly becoming a backward country.
-
It's a waste of resources. **Management is not in place.

In the early years, it was said that South Africa was a developed country, because South Africa's industrial level was the highest in Africa, comparable to developed countries, and its economic capacity was once the leading country in Africa, and South Africa was very rich, whether it was ** or residents, its wealth was the first in Africa.
But in reality, South Africa does not have the conditions of developed countries. First of all, although South Africa is rich, its per capita GDP is not up to standard, and its per capita GDP in 2012 was only about 10,000 US dollars, and its current per capita GDP can only be called a developed country when it reaches 15,000 US dollars.
In addition, the United Nations now sets the Human Development Index as the standard for evaluating developed countries (combined with GDP per capita, education level and medical and health level), and only countries with a very high Human Development Index can be recognized as developed countries (there are currently 47 countries, the lowest being Croatia). At present, only African country has achieved a very high per capita development index, Seychelles. South Africa's per capita development index is only 121 in the world, which is at the middle level of human development (lower than China).
This is mainly because South Africa has a serious racial problem, social injustice, and a large gap between the rich and the poor, with whites occupying Dalian wealth and blacks being disadvantaged. South Africa has not established a good security system in terms of re-education and medical care. In addition, due to the racial problem, South Africa's social contradictions are acute and law and order is poor, which also greatly reduces the stability of South Africa as a whole.
Therefore, South Africa is not only not a developed country, but also a very large gap from developed countries.
It is incomplete to say that South Africa is a developed country, it is one-sided, if you exclude the calculation of black South Africans, then it is indeed a developed country, but it is impossible to calculate it in this way. Although South Africa has legislated to prohibit apartheid and discrimination, South Africa has a long-standing apartheid system, and its effects have been deep-rooted, so although the system has been abolished for more than 20 years, the clan problem is still difficult to solve.

In the history of South Africa, from a quasi-developed country to a developing country, Huang Jiaju once wrote songs for **.
-
South Africa is recognized as a developed country in Africa, which is based on GDP per capita. However, its comprehensive national strength has not yet reached the standards of developed countries, and it belongs to the second-class countries among developed countries.
-
Developed countries, but the law and order are quite chaotic, and the economy is not very good now, because its main production is not a necessity of life, and it is quite affected by the economic crisis.
-
It should be a developed country, South Africa is famous for its diamond production, and South Africa's De Beers company accounts for about 80% of the world's total, and it is rich in mineral resources.
-
Africa is the most backward region on earth. There is not a single developed country, including South Africa.
-
No. South Africa is a developing country. South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco are the most developed countries in Africa.
-
No, he is a developing country.

Developed countries are mainly measured from four aspects: high per capita GDP, developed industrial technology, advanced science and technology, and high social welfare. The above four points must be met at the same time to be considered a developed country, and all of them are indispensable.
South Africa's per capita GDP in 2013 was US$6,627, lower than US$7,368 in 2012 and US$8,066 in 2011. South Africa's science and technology, welfare, and industry are not very prominent in the world, and domestic contradictions are relatively serious, so it is not a developed country.
In sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa is the richest country in the region, and its development background is different from that of other countries. South Africa is basically an open economy, and it occupies an important position in the national economy. South Africa is a middle-income country.

Purple, which is a mixture of delicate red and delicate blue, is not a primary color, but a secondary synthetic color。In ancient China, purple was a symbol of noble status, and gold was monopolized by the royal family, such as high-end ** dress with purple, and in culture there are also words such as purple qi from the east and purple microstar, it seems that purple represents the power of mystery and transcendence of nature。In the West is no exception, the Western royal family is also doing their best to use purple to express the level of status, wearing purple is represented as a symbol of noble birth, so why is purple highly respected in the whole world, but also recognized by the upper class? >>>More
