It's been 21 years since apartheid was officially erased in South Africa but still it's teachings and ideologies are still very much enbodied expressed and felt by millions of South Africans.
Last week a member of the Democratic Alliance party (DA) took to social media and labeled all black people as monkeys because according to her they over crowded a beach in kwazulu Natal and did not clean it after using it. Honestly this made me laugh because if Ms. Penny Sparrow could ever have an opportunity to visit cameroon and make a stop at the beach in Limbe I guess she will be returning to South Africa with a heart attack. "Hahaha"
And to amplifier the drama on racism Gareth Cliff who has been a judge on the SA idole for more than five years said "people need to understand freedom of speech" meaning Ms. Penny Sparrow had all rights in the world to call anyone names. well...In that case I am busy thinking of what name to call you.
To put some icing on the cake the home affairs minister on ENCA some weeks ago said "they is unemployment in South Africa but we do not see us sending our citizens out of the country or to different countries to look for jobs". Firstly with my understanding about the universal declaration of human rights everyone regardless of who you are or where you are you have the right to move freely in the world. Secondly I do not think any country will ever forcefully ask it's citizen to immigrate into another country in search for jobs. And as we all know South Africans do not like traveling so the rest of the world should not be made accountable for that. Lastly the world has become a global village Oga Minister of Home Affairs.
All these shows much South Africa still has to grow as a nation and as individuals. The mindset of its people has to change. Equality is everyone's fundamental right and globalization is here to stay.
