Which African nation, South Africa or Nigeria, will have greater difficulty overcoming problems that stem from its colonial legacy? Why?

South Africa will have greater difficulty recovering from its colonial legacy because of, apartheid, damages done by the Dutch East India Company, and the disruption of migration peoples caused by the Europeans. Apartheid Apartheid was the separation of races in South Africa. "Under apartheid the government classified all South Africans as white black "coloured" (people of mixed race), or Asian. It then passed laws to keep the races separate. Nonwhites could not vote. They were …

…work as slaves on their farms." (Iftikhar 100). As a result of the damaged migration pattern people were moved out of their homelands and their traditions were therefore changed as a result. So in conclusion South Africa will have a harder time adjusting to the problems that stem from its colonial legacy because of issues caused by apartheid, damages done by the Dutch East India Company, and the disruption of migration peoples caused by the Europeans.
