RE: On Mandela Day: things that shaped this South African
As I was reading this, especially where you say that apartheid was an enormous success (which I totally get what you're saying by the way!!), it reminded me of how Hitler and the holocaust was the same kind of success. Calculated, secretive, propagandized and government run. That's a very difficult thing to beat. But I too wonder if social media had been around, how different it all might have been.
So so sad to say the least!
On a happier note, I'm so glad you liked the drawing. This guy, @unyimeetuk is an amazing artist!
You know, @lynncoyle1, when I remark to South Africans about the "success of apartheid, most just don't get it. Consequently when I said it here, it was with a bit of trepidation. The analogy with Hitler is apt. And it's similar to what led to the genocide in Rwanda and in the Serb-croat conflict. What people do to each other! Incomprehensible.
Man's inhumanity to man. I've never understood it either!
