They were tricked into ending apartheid. De Klerk didn't say that he'd end apartheid during the election but he did anyways after getting to power. Just another gift from democracy.

The state was perfectly viable, the issue was that big business in SA didn't like the sanctions and wanted to do business with the west. They bought off the political establishment and church.

The churches were instrumental in getting the Afrikaaners to accept black rule. They were bought off by Jewish money like the Oppenheimers. Now the Oppenheimers themselves are being forced to leave SA due to endless violence and dysfunction.

SA is a lesson in why Christianity and democracy cannot be trusted. Both have time and time again folded to the whims of big business and international Jewry.
