When SA was in 'isolation' and the writing was on the wall, whites were stealing money left, right and centre from SA in anticipation shyt changing over. Mandela went on a long lobbying stretch for overseas investment because of it. Furthermore, Western countries basically blackballed them into having a shyt show called the TRC where people just said what they did, and nothing further happened. The apartheid system was designed to always keep blacks from having anything and whites having substantially more than anyone else. This is the reason why the whole Western world severely dislikes white south africans, because they've been raised to be supremely arrogant. In the end, the whites kept their money and power because all was forgiven.
The whites now wash their hands of apartheid and say "it wasn't me" and play the "I don't know why the blacks still live in the past" card. Meanwhile, they're still not over the Boer War.
