The Unexpected Truth About Apartheid's End: Was it Money?

Apartheid's Demise: An Unexpected Economic Perspective South Africa's history is marked by the brutal system of Apartheid, which ended in the early 1990s. While the moral and ethical arguments against Apartheid are well-documented, a recent video highlights a less discussed aspect: the system's unsustainable economic cost. The video features a woman who powerfully argues that the financial burden of maintaining Apartheid ultimately led to its demise. "It ended because it was expensive," she states, adding that the cost of maintaining the system for the white minority was simply too high. Her analysis goes beyond simply stating the cost, delving into the specifics. She points to the limitations placed on white South Africans, such as restrictions on travel and entertainment, as factors contributing to the system's financial unsustainability. The video uses footage from a past debate, lending credibility to the argument. The speaker's passionate delivery underscores the emotional weight of the topic, while the video itself provides a fresh perspective on a well-known historical event. This perspective, while not negating the moral arguments, offers a valuable addition to the understanding of this pivotal moment in South African history.
