Those #SouthAfricans who wonder what South Africa really was like in the late 80's , download this book as it is out of print. "The Plot Against South Africa" It was written in 1987, published in 1989. So no one can say the facts have been made up. Myself was still a child in those years, so we do not really know what was going on.

Here are some excerpts:
A few figures should make that clear: Within its borders South Africa contains only six per cent of the total population of Africa and covers only four per cent of its total area; yet in 1979 it produced over 50% of the total electric power, it has 74% of the total electrified railways, runs over 25% of the total gross national product and possesses 45% of all the telephones in Africa. Seventy per cent of all the school pupils at the higher levels and four out of five doctors in southern Africa live in South Africa.
South Africa produces more energy than Italy, as much raw steel as France, more grain than Canada, more wool than the USA, more wine than Greece and more fish than Great Britain.
The South African railways run more line-kilometres than West Germany, carry more passengers than Switzerland and have a better punctuality record than Austria.
South African firms can work to the microscopic tolerances necessary for nuclear industries, build computers and Mach 2 jet fighters, export motor spare parts to a hundred countries and have built the biggest munitions factory in the world.
