Tomorrow,South Africa
We have come a long way from our dark past as a nation dominated by racial and cultural intolerance and discrimination. Nevertheless, we still have a long way to go. Incidents such as the allegedly racially motivated attack on a Zambian student in Pietermaritzburg over the weekend cannot continue to take place; we must consistently fight for the creation of a truly non-racial, tolerantSouth Africa
In his autobiography, former President Nelson Mandela said: “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”
Mandela’s legacy is one which teaches that our common humanity is more valuable to us than our differences. We must all take personal responsibility for advancing reconciliation, and respecting and protecting all South Africans in their racial and cultural diversity.
