Yes, the current situation in South Africa is dire. The new "Born free" generation (including me) only hear stories of how it was, in my case I only hear the good old days whilst others hear the The bad oppressed days. Either way I could see this culture and idea difference when I first walked into university! Our differences in ideas has taken a toll on our new democracy system for we are different parts of a big engine that currently does not operate together. But your post does touch one of the biggest problems that our country face each day!
