When was this? Perhaps you can make the case for South Africa under Mandela but Zimbabwe but for a brief period early in Mugabes reign was always an authoritarian hell hole with the occasional sprinkling of economic success- like a less democratic Iran.

Pretending apartheid South Africa was in any way a successful country is like pretending Saudi Arabia is currently.

Well, because of international sanctions.

SA became isolated and countries stopped investing but this was only until the last few decades as political pressure mounted.
