I was pretty proud of the direction South Africa was going in under Mandela and early Mbeki before Mbeki and Zuma started the austerity politics, neoliberalism and corruption. But I was also very young back then, a literal kid. But looking back there was a lot to be proud of, and I still have hope for a socialist South Africa with further decolonization, even if that seems very unrealistic right now.
I'm still very proud of our new constitution, it's really good. One of the first counties to legalise gay marriage and LGBTQIA+ rights, like 10 years before most western "democracies". If only it was properly enforced and followed.
