The first black president.
In a country in Africa, South Africa, the name Mandela has a very high status and endless honor for this country. Mandela spent his whole life as the master of black people, and won many important international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. He is recognized as a great man in the world.
Although Mandela is also black, his life is luckier than other blacks, because his family is a local aristocrat and his father is a tribal chief, who is mainly responsible for helping whites manage blacks. Therefore, as long as there is no accident, Mandela will inherit his father's position and live a more comfortable life when he grows up. However, due to his father's mistake, he was dismissed from the post of chief and his family became an exiled aristocrat.
However, due to his superior family when he was a child, Mandela received a good education and obtained degrees from many universities. Later 1944, he joined a non-Nantah organization that advocated non-violent struggle and began to lead blacks to unite against apartheid. During this period, he organized many protest marches and many tragedies occurred.
After a long period of resistance, Mandela was imprisoned by the apartheid regime in South Africa in August 1962 and began his 27-year prison life. However, when South Africa adopted apartheid, it was strongly condemned by the international community. Great external pressure made South Africa announce the lifting of apartheid in 1990, thus achieving national reconciliation and releasing Mandela. After he was released from prison, Mandela made a famous speech at Soweto Football Stadium, which won the approval of many blacks.
So in May 1994, Mandela became the first black president in the history of South Africa, which was warmly celebrated and welcomed by the whole country. Mandela ended the unreasonable treatment of black people in South Africa and successfully realized that black people are the masters of their own affairs.
From affluence to backwardness
At that time, the white regime in South Africa faced various threats from the United States and the Soviet Union. The important reason is that the white regime at that time was sparing no effort to build its own nuclear weapons. When the white regime was still in existence, it did not give up making nuclear weapons in the face of the threat of the United States and the Soviet Union. However, only a few months after President Mandela took office, he officially renounced nuclear weapons research without making any other demands or compensation, thus surrendering the country's efforts for many years.
In addition to the military, Mandela also left South Africa in an extremely passive economic environment. Under the management of the former government, South Africa became the sixth largest industrial power in the world and the financial center of Africa by virtue of its extremely strong industrial capacity and financial market. Its economic strength is very strong, and its comprehensive national strength is very strong.
At that time, after Mandela came to power, European and American countries made Mandela understand the benefits of opening up the market on the grounds of trade liberalization, but there was always a gap between reality and ideals. Just after Mandela announced the opening of the market, a large number of cheap foreign goods flooded into the South African market, and the trade barriers collapsed instantly.
With the entry of a large number of foreign goods, South Africa's domestic manufacturing industry is in disaster, many enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy, the market is gradually turbulent, and industrial manufacturing is more difficult. Subsequently, Mandela opened up his country's financial industry, gradually making his country's capital monopolized by enterprises in other countries and losing control of the financial market. Financial security and development have been firmly grasped by foreign enterprises, and the country's development has completely reached a deadlock and started to move towards poverty and backwardness.
In addition, after Mandela came to power, another kind of racial discrimination began, and social resources gradually tilted towards blacks. Many incompetent blacks have been gradually added to various posts, and the medical level that was at the forefront of the world has been gradually lowered. The black managers in government departments are inefficient and corrupt, and the existence of black people in the army makes the military strength of the country decline.
Every aspect of the country's public security, medical care, economy and social management has been gradually lowered, and once the largest country in Africa has been transformed into a poor and backward weak country.
summary
A great man is called a great man because he has done things that many people have never done, won the support of the broad masses of the people and society, and made contributions to the progress and development of mankind. But the great man's life is also controversial, and whether what he did was also a controversial issue.
Throughout Mandela's life, it seems to me that he brought nothing but freedom and poverty to South Africa. There is no doubt that he brought freedom to South Africa. His political career has been devoted to fighting for the freedom of black people. He even said that he was willing to give up his life for this ideal. In the end, he did succeed and became the first black president of South Africa, giving freedom to most black people in South Africa.
But beyond that, he brought only poverty to South Africa. After he took office, he handed over a lot of important work to helpless blacks, leaving the whole South African country in a messy environment. Once high-rise buildings become slums, the power system can't be used and the country falls into darkness. The water conservancy system is not running, resulting in the lack of daily drinking water in the country.
As if overnight, the country stopped running, and the black people who knew nothing took control of the lifeblood of society. Not every black man is Mandela. They have not experienced Mandela's education and experience, and Mandela has not considered the actual situation. Paying attention to blacks and discriminating against whites is undoubtedly another kind of racial discrimination.
Therefore, to truly realize the prosperity of the country, we can't just focus on one aspect. The progress and development of society can not only depend on the word freedom, but also on the restraint and management of civilization. Otherwise, society will only fall into chaos, and freedom will be meaningless.
