I think I'm learning every day that South Africa is a very diverse country in all its aspects and that's the reality of it!
You can be in Orlando West on Vilakazi Street @ Sakhumzi and feel like you're are in Sandton, and then drive a few kilometres away in Kliptown with shacks and pigs drinking from muddy reef water. . . and this pattern repeats itself throughout S.A!
For some of us who were born into both worlds (Attended a Semi-Private School while living in Soweto) where by-day we were city-kids and by-night we were kasi-kids it really didn't matter! Our eyes were to 'blind' to see or measure if our reality was not 'enough'. . .
Of course the effects of these conditions only show themselves later in life when you realise that there is a Economic and Political environment rooted in History and Power struggles. And this is where it gets interesting because when you realise this environment exists you have a choice to make . . .
"The Whole Worlds a Stage; the people the players. To be or Not to be? That is the Questions" - Sir William/Francis Bacon Shakespeare
