Nobody who has paid the slightest bit of attention to that part of the world has suffered the "Mandela effect" for obvious reasons

In your timeline is apartheid still policy? Is the international divestment campaign still active, or did they give up on it?

Who's the President of South Africa in your timeline? Are they black or white? How did this version of SA handle the AIDS epidemic?

It's annoying bc a major change like that would in reality have had huge ripple effects that would've affected Americans' lives
