The Reitz Four....

I recently read the opinion of a Women24 Contributor regarding the Reitz Incident and must say I totally agree with Lili...

The ideas of such persons and those in tune with them certainly need to be addressed. It is not a light-bulb moment to question if it were "white" cleaners would they have done the same...

The fact that we still see black people as cleaners, street sweepers and people that are only good to do "slave related work" is enough to teach these young white adults just that!

I was listening to a couple of white 16 year olds discussing people, and to hear how condemning and racial the discussion was, certainly didnt make me think that this came from their brains alone.

It is a reality that apartheid lives on in these young ones. just like the need to have something that you cannot afford is... We need to break this cycle, but we cannot do so when our parents and grandparents are not at peace with the idea of a rainbow nation. To in harmony with the rest of us who occupy this land.

As much as we fight AA & BEE, the country needs to equalize the balance in workplaces and business opportunities’, thus making it a little easier for non whites to apply for such benefits.

We need to be patients with the country and its efforts to yield fruit. Jumping and seeing every effort from an ANC government as a threat certainly does not advance democracy, but rather aids as a hindrance to it.

The actions of these four certainly needs to be frowned upon, whether black or white, and the notion of "us" and "them" needs a little downplay from both parties, but to exclude the obvious does nothing to stop address future related issues. Good writing, a well voiced opinion.
