Question about post-apartheid South Africa?

Question

I'm a history buff, but too young to remember South Africa and the struggle to end apartheid but I find it interesting. I was told that, back when apartheid ended in 1994, a lot of whites left South Africa. I was just curious, did they leave out of fear of not being able to control the government or did they leave out of protest.

Also, where did the majority of them move to, considering there aren't any countries where apartheid-governments exist, at least none where whites are the ones in control.

I'm just curious, thanks in advance for all the responses.

Answer 1

A majority left out of fear and went to European countries

Answer 2

Many sold their financial interests to white who were going to stay and they turned out to be very smart as the South African economy has been destroyed by guess what? A racist government, only this time it is one in which tribal interests overcome other tribal interests, the color lines are just a pronounced, and even more so than before. There are numerous racial divides now. Crime is overwhelming, the SA military, once a strong one, could not defend the country from an invasion by an average football team. The whole freedom experiment has been a failure and perhaps indicate that social change must occur over a longer period of time and not just turn one system off and another on. The question assumes that the SA Africans were not Africans and yet they were. There were families there for centuries and they were Africans just as much as former slaves are Americans. The "new and improved" government did not honor their property or voting rights and has become exactly what it said that it hated. That happens a lot. Blacks from one tribe are slaughtered in areas that are controlled by other tribes. the coloreds (yes that is a social classification for people of mixed races) are as bad off as whites in the new racism. What Bishop Tutu and others fought for has become a nightmare.
