When I walk around cities in SA I fear for my life. I see crumbling buildings and streets in need of repair. There's daily electric power shortages and crime is soaring. Rainbows are nowhere.
-
Quite interesting that white anti apartheid activists are hardly mentioned alongside the likes of Luthuli,Tambo,Mandela,Sisulu in post apartheid South Africa . The remarkable sacrifices they made must not be forgotten if the idea of a rainbow nation is not mere lip service .
-
I love how the American wyt jornalists were denouncing what South America was doing, while the American South was still doing what they were doing.
-
Hard to believe that I'm watching an American documentary, with American commentary, made during the era of Jim Crow, criticizing the white South African regime for imposing the very same restrictions and repressive measures on African blacks, as were being imposed upon the black population of the USA by the majority whites, at the same time. Am I completely disillusioned, or are Americans guilty of the most incredible hypocrisy imaginable? ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, but only if you are the correct colour.

As a South African I still can't watch a documentary about our collective experience in that horrible time in our history , now in my aging years I still have hopes and fears of the future. I still love my Country and hopefully the young people have a better understanding about how to move forward.

After watching this it becomes clear why we are still encountering racist barbarians even to this day in South Africa.
-
SA was like one big Plantation with the exception that blacks were migrant workers, not slaves. SA is crumbling away just like just like those old plantation houses after the Civil War.

And before 1948 it was introduced and practiced by the British without a name, that is apart from the derogatory names they had for the natives, and Afrikaners who were born and bred South Africans for three centuries before.

Never of Patrick Duncan's till now, but wow what a true honest and selfless description of the time he lived in...

I had no idea how bad this was…..and we thought it was bad here in 1963. These people were truly evil, especially killing children 😡😡
-
Thanks for posting, fascinating to see this history
-
South Africa has made such great progress since the terrible days of the 1960's. Since 1994 it has transformed itself, for all of its citizens, into the rape & murder capital of the world. And that is a rare achievement for any nation.
-
Does anyone watching this documentary realize that the idea of apartheid was taken from the Canadian Reservation concept ( which is still in place in most of North America). As an American I find hypocrisy of my Americans condemning the white South Africans, while we aren't any better.

This is great footage

" i have one great fear in my ❤ that when they are turned to loving we shall be turned to hating"

My grandfather remembers this in his homeland, South Africa and how they were sending children to different nations to discuss or have debates on racism and colonization and other countries, and the white girl who represented South Africa at the time was trying to say that racism never existed, or it didn’t exist at that time in South Africa. My Mkhulu said the boers will just come and literally remove you from your land ,your home.

Shameful but thanks to all who opposed racial separation
-
