In terms of the concentration camps, it was mainly disease that killed people, and medical care was not very advanced at the time. It also should be noted the Boer War was not the first to use such a strategy of concentrating the population in camps was used in order to hunt down opposing forces and cut off supplies. Such camps were first used by the Spanish in Cuba in 1896 and by the US in the Philippines in 1899.
Well that conflict resulted in friction between the Afrikaners and the English speaking Whites in South Africa and that tensions lasted for decades, and a lot of Boers did support the Nazis during WW2 due to the resentment of the British and several South African Prime Ministers were known to support the Nazis during WW2,
In addition Nelson Mandela when he was on trial and one of the judges told him that Hitler was the greatest man in his lifetime.

The Boers/Afrikaans who are very proud of their Dutch Ancestry, generally had a strained relationship with everyone and the fact that some Boers supported the Nazis doesn't even surprise me, indeed I remember the likes of the late Eugène Terre'Blanche .
In the 90's, my nextdoor neighbors in NJ were from South Africa and were never going back to the only home they knew. Their take was that it all began with colonization and enslavement of native people centuries ago.
Would that be the colonization and displacement of the TRUE original inhabitants of Southern Africa (the Khoisan) by the Bantus from North and West Africa....... or the subsequent colonization by the Dutch/English?..... or the expansion of the Zulu Kingdom?
More specifically, giving control of the country over to people with very little experience, education, or know-how.
It's basically what happened throughout Africa and places like Haiti.
There should have been like a training period for self governance. Australia and Canada, for example, are successful former colonies that sort of had training wheels.
I think we were lucky in the US that our founders were actually educated gentry not far removed from the colonial ruling class in England.
More specifically, giving control of the country over to people with very little experience, education, or know-how.
That's what happens when you refuse to educate or give any opportunity to the majority of the population for a century. People wonder why crime is so bad in SA, it all stems from the inequalities established during Apartheid.
Really horrible situation yet very sobering to see what it's like. Not a coincidence that this mess started after ending Apartheid.
I watch these videos before just to see what the alt-life or alt-right we’re doing when they were first released the thing about South Africa is that if you notice Lauren always states, White Farm murders, with the emphasis on Farm because the other races in South Africa like the Cape Coloureds, Foreigners (Indians and Africans), and Blacks all have way higher rates than the white population of being murdered. White farm murders are a specific murder that is racially motivated and are especially heinous but it isn’t the highest murder rate in the country.
For some reason you didn’t put this video. You want to know why Lauren made this video because basically whites had the lowest homicide victim hood rate in the country and people were calling her out on her B.S so she had to explain it.
Half of these neighborhoods have higher murder rates than the White Farm murder rate and their all Black or Cape Coloured essentially Lauren Southern got called out before she could pretend that their was a genocide of white people in a country were everyone is getting slaughtered.
I will say the government of South Africa is racist and should be voted out of power but they call for the killing of foreigners even more than White people. For example an anti-white protest in mostly white Pretoria would never fly but an anti-Immigrant one is allowed and encouraged by the government.
