No, South Africa never had direct presidential elections and the President has only been the real baas since 1983.
Anyhow, the pre-94 stuff (if you're white) depends a lot if you're doing it with hindsight or not, because nobody these days except a few racist buffoons will admit to liking apartheid but in a white South African context in 1948 and on, a lot would probably approve of it. I'd like to think that if I lived in South Africa from 1910 onward I would like John X. Merriman, but...
1910: racist c**nts, all 1915: racist c**nts, all 1920: racist c**nts, all 1921: racist c**nts, all 1924: racist c**nts, all 1929: racist c**nts, all 1933: racist c**nts, all 1938: racist c**nts, all 1943: I might be convinced to vote for UP since Nazi c**nts are worse than racist c**nts 1948: UP strategically 1953: UP 1958: Liberal 1961: Progressive 1970: Progressive 1974: Progressive 1977: PFP 1981: PFP 1987: PFP 1989: DP
1994: ANC 1999: stay home, not a fan of corrupt autocratic anti-science dicks or crass race-baiters 2004: IDs 2009: DA 2014: DA
