I believe ability can be taught. If black South Africans learnt the same trades & skills that whites & Asians have, they'd be able to maintain South Africa as is. That is, IF they wanted to keep South Africa as is.
A South Africa with pre-1652 racial demographics could still be successful.
France could've still won the FIFA World Cup with only white Gaul-descended Frenchmen. Ability is not a matter of race as it is of learning a method. This is why Japan, a largely homogenous nation seems to be good at everything from industry to sport. Japan has managed to find a balance between their ancient past & modern systems, or they - at least - have modernized their ancient cultures & translated them into the modern world. They do all this with very few Europeans & Africans in their country. No ability is race specific. Black people can learn to make guns & cars as easily as white people can learn to stick fight & hunt animals with spears.
So, I definitely think that if whites & Indians completely vanished from South Africa, it would be a matter of blacks learning the necessary skills to maintain some stability. We managed to govern ourselves for thousands of years without seeing a single European & I believe, in the right circumstances, we still could but it would maybe be outside of the gaze of the Western world because their kin would've left.
I think a hard reset could be good for South Africa to return to an age homogenous nations but for the sake of not shaking up the status quo, we'll remain content in a diverse South Africa.
