I am Catholic, so I can say this without being accused of being prejudiced - Protestant countries are almost always more advanced than Catholic countries. France is an exception. One theory is that Protestants believe that everyone should be able to read so they can read the Bible. The Catholic Church historically did not encourage people to read the Bible.

<<South Africa could have been a rich country.>> If not have been deemed strategic by the belicose bureaucrats seating in Washington. The Cold War mindset, protected odious governing systems in order on 'security' grounds. Cold War gone, the Apartheid went down the drain. You need to be more Internationalist-minded and don't try to get all answers in the city librabry or taiken a course on the subject. Out here is the school. It is out here that we know stuff, CB.
