00:00Why South Africa is the most unequal country in the world between whites and blacks
00:03while Nelson Mandela enabled the abolition of Apartheid 30 years ago?
00:06Look, this line divides the white neighborhood from the black neighborhood.
00:09The white one has swimming pools and nice roads, while the black one has tin roofs and roads
00:13of earth.
00:13And yet, nothing prevents Black people from becoming wealthy and living alongside White people.
00:16But in reality, the average income of a white family is 5 times higher than that of a
00:20black family.
00:21Even today, skin color determines quality of life.
00:23So, why?
00:24Normally, everything should have changed when the racist Apartheid laws were finally abolished in 1991.
00:29We then began to massively construct the equivalent of social housing to allow the black population to live in
00:34city close to employment.
00:36However, in order not to upset the white people who live in the city centre, the houses were built on the outskirts.
00:40This reinforces the division between rich white neighborhoods and poor black neighborhoods.
00:44And the problem is that the government has not sufficiently guided business investment.
00:47As a result, Black neighborhoods find themselves not only without jobs,
00:50but also with shopping centers, hospitals, schools and a very poor quality water network.
00:55And the taboo that everyone refuses to talk about, hello world video,
00:57The point is that Apartheid hasn't really disappeared.
01:00So yes, in 1994, black people were finally given political rights.
01:03But land, businesses, and buildings are hardly redistributed at all.
01:06all the capital that white people had accumulated over generations.
01:09Apart from a very small, minority black elite who benefit from it,
01:12It is very difficult for a black person to close the wealth gap that separates them from a white person.
01:15And every week, I help you understand the world so you no longer have to suffer.
01:17So, until next time.
