Some twenty years and four presidents, was ending in South Africa one of the biggest aberrations of troubled twentieth century: the apartheid regime. On the streets, the catharsis of a black majority oppressed from the beginning of the century, the euphoria of innovation and, in front of all, Nelson Mandela, Nobel Peace and unquestioned leader. While part of the continent burned in endless conflicts, South Africa exploded at parties and contained demands.
What happened in South African society was the purest demonstration of human hurry. aruba mail pec In an instant, it seemed that the luxuries of the era of jazz confined in white neighborhoods of large cities could touch every corner of the country; which was provided for decades to less than 5% of the population became days in a real demand for the rest. Most likely, the stability of ring this powder keg was the transition led by names like Mandela and Desmond Tutu, great leaders enough to forgive and to punish, wise in front of a nascent republic. aruba mail pec
The same human hurry for the improvement of living conditions which destabilized many African countries in the last quarter of the last century was converted by the leaders of the South African transition aruba mail pec in hope and work. Near unanimity around the Mandela government of the African National Congress (ANC) solidified the only way the foundation of the Republic of South Africa, being able to stabilize the country in the long run in institutional terms.
But time would pass. And Mandela never lost sight of this; knew that it was necessary aruba mail pec to build a country, being a founding father for the great design not soçobrasse in personalism. Refused to re-election at the end of the mandate, was seated the great moral reserve of South African politics in the figure of Mandela, who walked history as a great leader, aruba mail pec even though not achieved aruba mail pec more substantive changes in the economic situation in South Africa, which does not be resolved only with a pantheon.
On the one hand, the population keeps all due honor for the period opened with Mandela's election in 1994, the same population does not cease to demand.

Within this setting, aruba mail pec gives one of the most sensitive issues of the current South Africa. On the one hand, there are, among the population, a constant concern to strengthen the memory of the struggle against apartheid, to strengthen the symbolic weight of post-1994 achievements; on the other, solutions are required in a very different tone from the one used during the immediate euphoria. The growing crime, youth unemployment, falling wages outside the major centers, the suspicions against the legacy of the 2010 World Cup and uncontrolled immigration are creating pressure zones increasing on the ANC government.
The temporal distance from the end of apartheid will play against the South African state, today it is no longer possible aruba mail pec to evoke the achievements of the 1990s as a way to cool tempers on the current situation of the country. No longer can assign only the most abundant apartheid precariousness. In the newspapers of South Africa abound relentless criticism against aruba mail pec the executive, since serious accusations of corruption and inefficiency as cartoons representing a fool and decrepit government.

One of the most blessed aruba mail pec countries with great leaders aruba mail pec will approaching the low average quality of "statesmen" contemporary and the euphoria will tend to zero. The question aruba mail pec is how to operate South Africa in a position politically and economically as prosaic as complex.
