What was your country's position regarding South Africa during the Apartheid era?

[catgeorge]

South Africa today is a total mess. Companies are getting out of there at the rate of knots due to some policy where black people need to own companies or be directors.

I think you're a bit confused on the timeline of events for the history of South Africa

Well ,i am of the opinion that no race can just steal a country and rule it,then even disciminate the originals

Let the blacks handle Africa how they know,i mean they alone know they cant do a good job with no whites,so i am guessing they want the whites to stay.Black people do not have the inteligence to rule,because of the history...not because they are less inteligent naturally

Interestingly no New Zealand. There was a lot of dispute between NZ and SA about the latter forbidding the former from playing Maori players against them.

South Africa maintained a Consulate-General in New Zealand at the time, meaning that relations did exist between the two countries, but at a low level. The same was true with Denmark, Finland, and Norway. There were relations with Costa Rica and Uruguay as well, but no representatives of those countries in South Africa.

By the 1980s, South Africa maintained only trade representatives in Mauritius, Ireland and Zimbabwe. Quite a few countries suspended diplomatic relations with South Africa during the Apartheid period, those include India in 1954, the USSR in 1956, Egypt in 1961, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Yugoslavia in 1963, Lebanon in 1974, El Salvador in 1977, and Iran and Nicaragua in 1979.

The Soviet Union at that time supplied money and weapons to black rebels and sharply criticized the colonial regime of whites. Also fought with them in Angola. Monthly daily articles are published on apartheid, on oppression of blacks in South Africa, in the USA, on the extermination of Indians in the USA, on the slave-owning character of the colonialists from Europe.

In those days, I believed their assurances of the friendship of peoples. But now, when I see what happened to the countries of the victorious revolution of Haiti, South Africa, I am inclined to change my mind. In South Africa, half blacks are infected with AIDS

Czechoslovakia had no relations with YAR, as well as another communist countries, for obvious reasons

very anti-Apartheid.

Sadly both the Irish and US governments were anti-Apartheid, although the US didn't completely turn on South Africa until the 1980s. I don't think anyone who isn't blinded by Negrophilia would say that modern South Africa is better off than it was under Dr. Verwoerd. Just like toddlers can't be trusted to manage their own affairs, neither can the Bantu race. Just as I would not want my elementary school son to have political power, neither should a Bantu. (The average adult Bantu has the intellectual capacity of the average White elementary schooler)

[Mortimer]

I think whites should have their own country in a part of southafrica, they should not be exterminated or "kicked out" but i see how its wrong if a white minority dominates over a large black majority though, like "whites only places" and "different bathrooms for whites and blacks" and such things. That is wrong, but whites should have their own country, now its not good for whites either.
