Yes, it is ironic and most unfortunate. However there is no question that white rule in South Africa had to go. The consequence of ending white rule and its apartheid system meant that the formerly disenfranchised black South Africans had to step up and run the country. Yet they had no experience in doing so, because they'd been blocked from holding any political power by the white supremacists.

Realistically it will take many generations for black South Africans to put their system in order. It will be a painful but necessary process.
