Maybe, but that sounds a little simplistic to me. People up to ~40 today hardly even remember apartheid. It's probably a factor, but I suspect there are other factors too.

It's not really addressed in the article, but the root problem seems to be the lack of a functioning democracy where those in power are held accountable at least to some degree.

My guess has always been somewhere near the last apartheid generation passing away you'll see a change in ruling party...so somewhere around 2070.

Can happen earlier, I just hope when it happens it goes smoothly
