That might be one reason....
Dinging something from the ground will eventually exhaust the resource. Crude oil is a good example i.e. North Sea crude oil supply. Simple minded leader will think ... this belong to our ancestor, we should take it back. But it will eventually runs out even if we can dig into the earth core.
As long as you can actually replace it with useful economic activity... if you're unable to then you're screwed yeah. I'm not familiar with SA specifically.
Resource rich countries usually have problems with kleptocrats who run them by redistributing money from resource extraction to their allies whilst ignoring to develop other parts of the economy. So resource richness is a mixed blessing. There are of course exceptions like Norway that have largely managed to avoid related corruption.

Norway has a population smaller than New York city. At scale, you get different problems. Time to invade Norway and give them freedom.
A lot of meatheads in the US feel the same way about Canada.
Canada should be invaded. Somehow they have "I don't know how many times I've done blackface" as prime minister and they still voted the same idiots in. So Canada is basically racist.
Secondly, the entire economy is built around selling houses to each other that no one can afford. Any sustained interest rate bump and the entire house of cards falls.
That being said, against all odds, Shopify exists so there is some innovation occuring.
You made an extrapolation logic error.
You.
