The common and obvious and mentioned answer is transparency.

But I suppose, the root problem in south africa is something else ... the colonial dept and racism (from both sides). And this is a complicated one to solve.

I suppose you are white and grew up priviliged? Well, imagine growing up black and in poverty and learning, that your original culture was conquered and destroyed and enslaved. And then you are free. But with nothing on your hands and in a system still run by the old slave owners and all the wealth and land still owned by them (all oversimplified).

So naturally there are revenge feelings and wanting compensation. But how do you make old injustices fair without new injustice? You can't.

Thats why the anc failed to do a good politic and apparently it all dissolved into corruption and missmanagement.
