It is an interesting time to be living in South Africa. I heard one man say, “Most people read about their history. South Africans today live in the history that has yet to be written.” This a unique thought, and I’m sure people would argue that any person is living in history in the making. Perhaps this post-apartheid South Africa is just in a critical point in its history making. Fascinating and a little terrifying.
Below is a link to a commercial on national television that is a hot topic for argument and debate. This advertisement was put out by SABC 1, a local South African TV station. Their slogan: “Ya Mampela,” or “The Real Thing.” It is currently banned from public TV, but the content is interesting: what if racial roles were reversed?
