After the Dust Settles

See in south africa, we are diverse like very tree branches we oh so admire. You have your different races and in them people divide themselves Through status , language, religion and money. But the greatest gap is through black communities, which I am a part of. It brought tears to my eyes to witness the Black bothers oppress one other cause one thinks their language is a superior to the other.We should have learnt a lesson from the Apartheid, one would think. I sometimes wonder when Nelson Mandela invisioned a beter world was it anything like the one we live in today?. Yes, i am glad that I,a black man, have oppotunies that I procure based on my hard work and not my skin colour. But is it too much to ask for people direct positive energey to one another. At the end of the day I ask myself are we an anger driven nation, now that apartheid is gone, do we turn against each other?
