Chivas, I was born, schooled, worked and married during apartheid. For the last 20 years I’ve worked in Aus and NZ, and at times in the ME and Africa. And I work mostly with disadvantaged people. And we all know who they are. Nothing that I’ve experienced or saw during apartheid was worse than what happened and still happens in other colonies. The only difference is that it was admitted to in South Africa. Unlike other countries who still white wash and deny their behaviour, and twist the apartheid narrative to shift the attention away from their own actions. With no acceptance that their own interference in South Africa triggered much of the conflict. Or that there were many agitators in South Africa, not just one side. Remember the old British tactic of divide and conquer? Yes you might know your history. Or the bits which are admitted to. I know both yours and mine.

We’ve had our problems. Yours are still coming. You have no idea

Well done Boks. Of course it’s never appreciated when you fight back. Malcolm Marx, Siya Kolisi, Eben Etsebeth outstanding. Kitshoff too, in his quiet way.

Beebop, as a Zulu, I feel you should spend some time reading up on the history of your own country prior to criticising others. It’s laughable how little Americans, British, Australians, Kiwis and Europeans take responsibility for their own actions, but have made white South Africans the scape goat for all sins. You have no idea how that took the attention away from what everyone else was doing. Arrogance and grandiosity is definitely not characteristics of all white South Africans, not even the majority. Take care of your own issues. Of which there are many. We’ll look after our own.

Yes, the usual name calling and disengagement when you’re called out. Won’t stop me from putting the truth out there. South Africa and South Africans have been used for way too long by others who obfuscate the truth and who don’t care an iota for the consequences of their actions. A lot of twaddle? I’ll sit down with you and some of your countrymen any day to listen to their lived experiences. Then you can tell them it’s twaddle.
