Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
South Africa has conquered a very important place on the world stage and, mainly, on the African continent. As a consequence of a developed market economy, South Africa owns approximately 25% of the GDP of the entire continent. The economic sectors that stand out the most are those of industry, mining, tourism, and finance. The country has also received a large volume of international capital investments, which contribute to its growth. The holding of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is also a reason for the country's economic growth, since, when hosting an event of such importance, the construction and infrastructure sectors are essential. What many people do not know is that South Africa, despite being the country ahead of its continent, had a social, economic and political structure of Apartheid until the end of the last century. This regime denied blacks the political, social and economic rights. In this way, the government was controlled by whites of European origin, who created laws and governed only for the interests of whites. Blacks were subject to various laws, rules and systems of social controls. The Apartheid system was in place until the 1990s, when, finally, the South African president managed to put an end to Apartheid. In 1994, Nelson Mandela (arrested in 1964 for fighting Apartheid) became the country's first black president, mainly because this was the first multirational election in which blacks participated, thanks to political rights, previously denied by the segregation regime .
