South Africa probably has the largest percentage of white expats in the world (compared to whites who were born there). I know many South Africans and have traveled there and its very very difficult to be a white South African there now. Most white native SA's are living abroad and have no plans to ever move back.

I met quite a few SA's while living abroad. Most I talked to did not want to move back.

I recommend a documentary called "Tell me and I will Forget." It is on Netflix.
It follows paramedics in South Africa and it reveals the real problems that exist there. It makes New Orleans, DC, Chicago and Detroit look tame by comparison.
It will also answer your question since you obviously didn't pay attention in history class or never read world news.

Gary Player
David Frost
Retief Goosen
Trevor Immelman

Eta, you're right I have never met or seen a non white South African.

How many black people- from any country- visit or immigrate to the United States?
Posted on 5/28/15 at 5:58 am to ksayetiger
Lots of them. I know plenty of blacks from Nigeria and Ghana.

Are you meeting these people in South Africa..? Or here in the States/abroad? I think you know the answer.

It goes to show how brutal the oppression/Apartheid was. Even now, as the years go by since it ended, they are still so much worse off than such a tiny minority of the country
You really believe the only thing that has kept them economically disadvantage is oppression via Apartheid? If you do, you're either so liberal that you're blinded by reality, or you're extremely naive...

It's a hugely complex problem that no one will (or can) openly discuss obvious topics pertaining to this subject without being branded a racist if you're not black or an uncle Tom is you are black.
Ever black person I see bitching about how oppressed they are in the US I offer to buy them a one way ticket back to the motherland but they can never come back. I've been doing this for 20 years and haven't had NOT ONE taker yet. Africa is insanely rich in natural resources yet every country over there is a shithole.
It's not rocket science folks.

Cmon.
Are you seriously asking this? I mean, you're a bright guy. I'm pretty sure you can think of reasons.

Oh and it was so great before.? Maybe for the 10 percent of white people, but what about the other 90 percent of the population? I guess frick them huh? I swear some of you people are pathetic
Did you know that DURING apartheid, South Africa had a HUGE net positive in immigration of black folks from surrounding African nations?
Sure, white run South Africa was shitty for blacks, but, apparently, black run nations were shittier.
