Depends on who you ask really, and what side of the aisle they're on.

Personally, I think at the core what started it, is the movement away from meritocracy. Other "things" took priority, and everyone on the ground was left trying to figure out how to not let the whole thing collapse whilst still servicing the new priorities given to them.

This sounds it was a bad thing for them! I hope other countries considering such agendas look at the outcome in South Africa and think twice.
