Thread: There are poor whites in South Africa!

It has long been a myth that all white South Africans are rich! How and when this belief came about is anybody's guess but through generations, pre, during and post apartheid periods, there are many who have and still do think that all whites are wealthy.

One has only to drive through some of the poorer residential areas to see this is not the truth. The Nationalist Government of past eras did not buy the whites houses, or give the home owners fancy washing machines and motor cars to drive. Some were lucky enough to achieve great wealth, the majority however lived a middle class life where money was saved to buy the necessary and wanted items.

There are many white families that never owned their own homes, or motor vehicles. The world of whites still depended upon education to get one-off to a good start in the adult and working world of South African whites.
