Remember this: economically, there was not a revolution per se. Whites were and still are the monied elites in the nation. The govt. has had to work with this reality, while attempting to open economic opportunities for blacks and other groups. Case in point: a brother in my present graduate chapter went to South Africa a few weeks ago on vacation. When he was Johanessburg, he went to an upscale restaurant. The only blacks there were the wait staff. When he entered the door the hostess warmly welcomed him and went out of her way to cater to him, remarking she was glad to see a black person there as a patron. So, in many ways, economically and socially, there is still de facto apartheid.
