I grew up in South Africa during this Apartheid (I'm white English speaking South African). I was in my late teens when it was abolished. Watching documentaries like this help me to understand what was going on. I always felt then as a kid that things weren't right. And even my parents would say things like that if I encounter a black person on the street, I must cross to the other side. The whites-only signs, whites only buses, whites only beaches. To understand why this was, was difficult for me, but I don't know why I didn't question my parents and others about it. Could I have just accepted it? Inside I know I didn't. People that worked in our home and garden were very special to me, in particular a cleaner/baby minder named Elizabeth (I know that's not her own name) who was with us for many years. I cried when we left Johannesburg to go to Cape Town and that meant leaving her behind. And Roger (I know this wasn't his own name), the gardener, who sneaked into the public rose garden and pinched 3 perfect roses for me when I was just 5 years old. I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to forgive, and especially who doesn't want to forgive people who still won't accept or admit that it was so wrong and that it is the root cause of inequality in our country still today.

@La ϟϟ It's interesting and hardly surprising. I can agree with much of it. And by the way, I myself am extremely against the ANC. They've been milking the race debate since their onset. But that doesn't mean that I deny my own experiences as a South African living in my own country and interacting with my people. I'm no liar, thanks.

I respect your reply .I grew up a black person in the Caribbean, so as a kid I was made aware of apartheid .Mandela was freed just before I turned 8 years old. Your testimony reminded me that some English speaking whites were in favor of the system , but I appreciate your view on it.I've evolved from not understanding why the whites were not made to leave in 1994 to allowing the New South Africa to work.The land expropriation issue, which I read today was not approved by a two thirds majority, is contentious, but I see why some are upset and want land back.But I'm still hoping for the country and don't believe that it is (as some say)white dominated.

Well damn, watching this, how did the whites think that Black Africans were going to treat them when they regained their freedom? I would be coming for blood too if I were in that position.

Thank the ancestors the tables are turning in Azania.As an Afro American, the familiar scenes of oppression are staggering.

Meanwhile in Australia at this time Aboriginals can't swim in Whites only swimming pools; US Indians still have no reparation; India has a caste system etc etc etc.

White South Africans are lucky, the blacks didn't retaliate post-apartheid. They treated them badly, damn!!!

This is why that even to this day black people all over the world are angry and won’t ever forget. The hatred will come home to roost.

There is another way of course. Look at the cruel oppression the Boers endured under British rule in South Africa. More than 50 000 women and children died in concentration camps. People were imported as slaves from Malaysia and India by the British, black people were used in their armies to fight the Boers and afterwards thrown into concentration camps or just chased away without any reward. The Boers lost everything they owned. Black people lost their land. And then the oppressed Boers turned out to be the next oppressor to black people and look how that turned out for the Boers. Exacting the same oppression onto the next by black people will only continue the cycle of abuse over and over again and they too will meet the same fate if they don't break the cycle of oppression. It is time to rebuild South Africa together both black and white. There is no other way.

Has South Africa not gone downhill since then, in terms of economy & crime? Are her cities not currently plagued by rape, murder, carjackings, kidnappings, etc., which during apartheid were relatively rare? Are SA farmers not being slaughtered in their own homes by criminals who covet their land?
