Nelson Mandela was quite inspirational. Too bad he wasn't as good of a leader as he was inspirational, given how amongst young black South Africans real wealth wend down in his time in power, homicide went up, access to basic utilities went down and his party's policies of affirmative action (in the only nation in the world such policies are applied to the majority) that demand racial quotas has led to an across the board drop in quality of everything due to race being more important then qualification.
Add to that the fact the white/black gap has only risen due to the fact that on top of this system white discrimination has led to people who otherwise would improve the system instead forming their own businesses and isolated communities, and the fact that on all matters of issues the Coloured are completely ignored, South Africa will need the Democratic Alliance to kick the African National Congress out of power if it hopes to not turn into another Zimbabwe.
I'm not holding out hope given the stranglehold the ANC has on politics for whatever reason, but hey maybe something could happen and people will realize having leaders who sing "Kill the Boar" and have shown a complete inability to perform anything resembling competent governance is probably not the people who will be the best to lead a nation.
