Ya i can imagine.
I felt it a lot while living in the UK.

Despite a lot of positive changes there are still people who yearn for the old days as incredible as this may seem.
Very few people give the government credit for their long term strategy and lots still blame the government for poverty not being eliminated.

However white owned businesses do little help the issue and in fact are promoting unemployment through disinvesting in the local economy.
Despite this the middle class is getting bigger but unfortunately so are the poor.

The country still has a long way to go but the most progress has probably been made during Mbeki's years, controversial as the media makes him out to be.
Still I think history will record him differently..
