If presented with the opportunity to get a message to a large group of people, what would your message be?

Our country is still suffering from a disease called post-apartheid because there is no peace, love or forgiveness. People are judged on their colour and not their skills. If you are a black person staying in the suburbs you have to justify yourself on how you can afford to stay there. You are suspected of doing something illegal that affords you to stay in the suburbs. Meanwhile seeing a poor white man in the townships, people ask themselves how did he miss out on the "gravy train'.

There is so much stereotyping and finger pointing on who's to blame on our state of affairs? There is still no reconciliation instead the TRC brought more pain and unforgiveness. Structures like churches should be preaching about reconciliation instead are robbing poor people of the little money and faith that they have. Racism is a rife disease spreading like HIV/AIDS.

As a humans, we should not judge each other based on race and gender. Adults should be like children because they don't see colour. My daughter is friends with our neighbour's daughter, she doesn't refer to her as white and she refers to her by name. They love each other and play together without distrust.We should adapt to this behaviour and see each other as people, who suffer the same regime.

  3. I think we need to reconcile because we can't be victims forever. Forgiveness is important in order to heal.
