"Mandela let us down. He agreed to a bad deal for the blacks."

"Economically, we are still on the outside. The economy is very much 'white'. It has a few token blacks, but so many who gave their life in the struggle have died unrewarded"

"This name Mandela is an albatross around the necks of my family"

Is this a case of sour grapes? Is it true they broke up because she had been unfaithful to Nelson during his imprisonment?

Indeed, she's lived up to her Xhosa name is Nomzamo which means "trial (having a hard time in life)"

I don't think it's as simple as she makes it out to be.

SA has great infrastructure and industry - arguably the best on the continent.

Education levels among the black population might be the reason as well as an attitude, due to apartheid, there's many of them who failed to get a good education and thus cannot compete currently in their economy. - hence when better educated fellow africans get to work in SA, there's resentment among them - which resulted in the xenophobic attacks not too long ago.

Perhaps they are expected to be handed plum jobs on a silver platter as a reward.

When in SA, you can see and clearly feel the tension, the gap is so wide. In a Poll close to abolition of apartheid, 65% of white South Africans still believed in it. Years before, the racist President Botha warned on apartheid "Adopt or Perish" urging them to abandon the ideology. When today you move around (not walk, don't dare) S.A, you do not need to hear, see or read anything about the impending fiasco, anger and hatred, it is all just too heavy in the air. Just watch CNBC Africa anytime and you will think S.A is a predominantly white country, It is the same with any useful environment in SA. The question is who is to blame? To me its clear white South Africans have a responsibility to facilitate more equitable coexistence than they are doing now.
