“We are a barbaric nation and we are our own worst nightmare”

August 13, 2008 By admin

A South African writes:

This episode, among many others, made it clear to me that, as South Africans, we have an attitude of entitlement. We think that the world owes us something.

This is truer for black people. No offence, but we, directly or indirectly, think apartheid is something to hold onto so that we can be viewed as victims and everything should be smooth sailing for us.

Here we are 14 years since the beginning of democracy in South Africa and we are still holding onto 1976.
