Amusing to see what Grokipedia thinks of various cities.

And no surprise, apartheid apologetics: https://grokipedia.com/page/Apartheid#debunking-prevailing-n...

Hilarious factual errors in https://grokipedia.com/page/Green_Line_(CTA)

I'm no apartheid apologist, but I have lived here (ZA) all my life.

Whilst I haven't read the entire article, the first paragraph is actually on-point: apartheid was shit in a lot of respects, but the schools, especially in rural areas, have dramatically declined since 1994, as have most government-run companies (with the exceptions like Eskom being bailed out every year).

You don't have to like the facts, but that's what they are.

Yeah I used to date a coloured girl from Jo'berg who'd grown up in that era and she was positive that they had some degree of prosperity and modern comforts unlike the surrounding African countries. The overwhelming flow of people voting with their feet and walking across the borders was from the surrounding countries to SA rather than vice versa.
