Agreed Adrian. I first became aware of apartheid when I was 7. My mother allowed our domestic to take me to the circus. She bought 2 tickets but I was not allowed in, as the tickets were for coloured people and I was white! I could never understand our religious community supporting apartheid while the Bible says we are all equal under God. Did they put the government before God?
We are now 25 years down the road and although this history should not be forgotten, lest we learn from our mistakes, it is time to move on and not blame all our shortcomings on apartheid. The Ain't no Consequences party had enough time to turn things around, but instead they made it worse. It is now up to us, the ordinary citizens to stand together and build a new country where everyone is given the same opportunities.
