RE: On Mandela Day: things that shaped this South African
Thank you @lizelle. I also remember that experience of going with my father to take one of our domestic workers home and having to sit in the front while she sat in the back. I didn't understand, either. And yes, the conditions were appalling. On a recent visit to Soweto I was amazed how things had changed in the same areas where we used to party: tar roads, gardens, fences and smart homes. Lots of evident pride. It was marvellous. And I'm hearing of people moving back to the lokshun. A long way we have come. A long way to go.
