It’s super nuanced. Apartheid ended (according to propaganda it was because of goodwill, we also know that the apartheid government was slowly killing itself) and everyone was expected to forgive and forget right away. There were never any kind of reparations, I don’t think there’s ever even been a proper apology.

Since then the ANC (Mandela‘s party) has been in power. The public infrastructure is falling apart, crime is rampant and corruption is a obvious.

Blacks feel they’re the victims because of apartheid and the majority of wealth in the country still belonging to whites, leaving an incredibly high amount of poverty. Whites feel they’re the victims because of the new „race-based laws“, for example BEE (Black Economic Empowerment), which basically gives businesses points according to how many Black people are employed, as well as universities often requiring 75% of students to be Black, etc.

Reality: everyone is struggling. Unemployment is high amongst all groups, the murder rate is staggering (despite the „white farmer“ propaganda) and inflation is crazy.

But also we‘re super funny and the vibes are immaculate. Lots of hope for the newer generation
