The crown of Africa.....what does it have to offer....many many experiences....not just hunting...like how i heard
that,...American come for game hunting...see in SA...they call it culling...which is fine.....but the way the Afrikans were putting it....these people come for trophies....shoot down a caged lion...and worst... not knowing it was caged....
the trouble seems to never go away in Africa...it seems like a lost jungle.... in many peoples mind...it still is the African jungle......
.the cabby i told you about... Issac..was laughing at all the prejudice done to him and all his family...and yet
... he was still in the present...concerned for his daughter who was a going the wrong way...drugs...
he told me...all this while he was driving me...to Dove's Nest....that people were kept in townships....like one village...you cannot go and relocate..cannot marry outside...not seen in other townships at night and..
certainly not in town...if you don't have a night pass.....only night workers have a night pass.....you will arrested....he was arrested once..for being in the wrong house....in the same street...his brother's house.....
there was a word which he said..it was the Buss or some word..that was what was taught in school...for blacks...just to obey commands...and orders....
not too much thinking..and those who did and can study...when on to study..but ended up doing menial work.....my ...my.....
I ended up having coffee with him, after reaching Dove's Nest....it was nice...
that night...I had a different view...
this time I was with some Afrikans...they were Afrikans..a difference they are proud of from the British.....
they have their own...problems albeit being white...both these 2 groups.....that's africa..for anyone who thinks it's only white and black......
they were nice young blokes....brendt...and louie...
they knew...
and when in a discussion brendt...did say...we were thaught what to do and we we told to do it this way.....what can we do....
I saw his sincerity....i knew then...it was hard for the country...it will or might take another 2 to 3 generation to lose the hate...to mingle as one....
I liked those guys for another reason..they said they don't intend to move.....it was nice to see people care..for their country...altough..much is against them.....
there aren't many white people on the city these days....too afraid to go or just don't have any biusiness there.....
this was another cabby...see i went on a tour to constitution hill and around Jo'burg.....saw where ghandi was incacerated...and the rest of my Indians....all wearing coats tough....
Many people might think only about the aparthied era....but i hope some would want to look at the future for South Africa.....and think how to reconcile...
It's in sambbles...so many people are broken.....they need mending.....only time can perhaps mend them or maybe another person like Mandela can too.....
It is time to wake up for the blacks.....they have their freedom...it is time for them to build...a nation..not making the same mistakes....
for the whites to get it right, trusting....the blacks....it's a long road ahead.....
