I never agreed with it in the first place.
It always knew inside me it wasn't right. What was I supposed to do? I mean, I did everything I could.
I never used the K-word. I forbode my children to use it too. I always gave the postman a Christmas bonus. And clothes... to the garden boy... and to the girl - Maria. I
always gave extra, the things I never needed to. Like Taxi fare. And when I knew she was using the phone, I never said anything. She's actually a good friend of mine. We often discuss the news. She doesn't really like what the ANC are doing anyway. She says that Mbeki is bad. This government is so corrupt. I often hear Black people saying it, you know... it was better before. I don't know.
Its just so difficult know. I don't know if its fair. I mean, they need their their chances, but this Affirmative Action... its ridiculous. Everything is about if you're black or not. It's Apartheid in reverse. I don't think this country is going to last. They just need to sort out this crime. Its so dangerous. It wasn't like this before. I don' t feel safe.
Luckily my sons have managed to get out of the country. One is in Australia and one is in the States. I wish I had more money. I would join them. It's not that I don't like it here. Or that I'm not proud of my country. I love the Springboks. I'm very proud. But its just the crime. If people didn't have such a chip on their shoulder... and the corruption. I'd stay here.
I don't have anything against them. I think its just here. Nobody really understands that. Anyway. As long as I have my faith. He doesn't discriminate either.
I have a lot of black friends. I'm a white liberal. |
