Where's Home?
My cousin said to me apartheid is still alive. I asked him why he believes that. He told me black people are still poor.
Then my response initialy was laughter but it got me thinking.
Then i said to him as long as there's a black brother driving a Lamborghini...then apartheid is non existent in todays society.
We kept on arguing but what i learnt from this was that we don't know much about our countries past, so if we don't know where we from, how will we know were we going?
A pastor once said you cannot comment on foreign culture when you don't even know your own.
When you don't know where home is, you are a worthless cause you have no origin. In modern terms you like a plastic, you stuff whatever you stuff in there and when you empty, you drift of to other worlds.
Today is 16 June. Youth Day, I'm not gonna tell you of the importance and the history of this day but i want you to find out for yourself. This our heritage, this is our culture, this is our identity. We share the same scars that this country has. Our forefathers were at the helm of this great victory and blood shed and i call it victory cause they showed them that day 1976, that our goals are greater than our fears.
