    If this man visited South Africa on 1 October 2009, he was visting it 16 years AFTER the end of Apartheid.

    16 years AFTER the end of white-supremacist fascism. 16 years AFTER the end of Nick Griffin / BNP style governmnet.

    If he found it a wonderful place in 2009 it goes to show that a democratic South Africa has great potential for the future.

    Nigeria's problem is not that it is "ruled by blacks" but that is not a democracy. It has no free and fair elections to protect the interests of the people.

    He asks "why did Nelson Mandela complain" about Apartheid and the lack of democracy in South Africa?

    Because the Apartheid regime tortured and killed people. Thousands of people. Denied people the vote. Forced them to live in slums. Denied them access to higher education and restricted people (like Mandela who was a solicitor) from practicing their profession. It did this to blacks and to whites who campaigned for democracy.

    Quite a few good reasons for complaining really.

    The difference is not between white and black but between democracy and dictatorship (whether it is Apartheid of Mugabe-ist dictatorship or any other kind).
