Mandela did not defeat Apartheid.... he was just a symbol of it. Apartheid was a horrible racial system and should have been eliminated. However, sometime in the 70s very wrong people got involved in the struggle specifically when Africa became part of the Cold War. Basically the Soviets screwed everything up....

The real tragedy of South Africa is happening today. People are leaving! Everyone sites crime and economy as the #1 reasons.
