The Sunday, 11 January episode of Carte Blanche delved into rising nostalgia surrounding the previous apartheid homeland of Bophuthatswana, three many years into South Africa’s democracy, because the crumbling stays of the territory litter elements of the North West province.
Whereas Bophuthatswana was created to implement segregation and was dominated by an oppressive regime marked by censorship, torture and collaboration with apartheid, some residents now categorical disillusionment with present-day failures, recalling a previous they affiliate with order, employment and functioning infrastructure.
The investigation questions whether or not frustration with the present state of affairs is rehabilitating a brutal chapter of historical past, or whether or not life was genuinely perceived as higher beneath Bophuthatswana’s rule.
