There have been many issues raised in this chat, for example classifications and the persistence of divisions but hey, this neglect, I want to say that sometimes if we do not visit the areas where each group stays as was determined under apartheid, we will feel that just our communities are being neglected. We grew up thinking coloured people are much better off than us and that we're the ones who live in poverty. In time I've come to see the many similarities between African black and Coloured black communities. Certainly, the appalling living conditions are the same. I now live near Westbury, I see the poverty also in Newlands and so on, but it's very similar to Vosloorus, where I grew up. I just wanted to highlight that we share some experiences. BEE has never benefited anyone I personally knew or heard is from Vosloorus, for example. So, the analysis for me misses the point about class.

The thing about apartheid is if you research it you dont see what normal life was like. All is see is the riots and killings. so lets look at some black people you can research and see what their life was like. Angie Motshekga was well educated studied at witwatersrand, she travelled around south africa teachering and giving lecturers, she then get a job at a school and in 1985 started working at witwatersrand right up until the end of apartheid in 1994..at that time she was fighting apartheid and setting up rallies. i view that as a good life. Thabo Mbeki lifed in a small village but was able to get such a good education he as accepted to study economices in london. He then got is masters in economices in england. At the time was the best education on the planet. he came back to south africa. After a few years he had to leave to get training around the world to fight apartheid. again i view as having a good live. how many people from a small village or any south African are going to Londan to study and get their masters?

Still had enough money to send him to really good schools. he become a law clerk at a white firm in Johannesburg. while he was doing his legal studies at the university of south Africa.

Also understand im not staying they didn't face hardship everyone does. im not saying they didn't face racism, We all do. im saying apartheid was hard on people based on classes more then race. look at South Africa now. there is a line of suffering if you are above that line SA is amazing, if you are below SA is the worst place in the world.

[@petrusesterhuyzen2087]

It's very true, they were never white enough and after 1994 never black enough. My hope is the parties can stand together and unseat the current mafia government. They need to be lifted up and more involved. The coloured people need to get involved and vote, not be apathetic, get the anc out to change the direction the countries economic direction. I recall sitting in staffing meetings and appointments were always black/white and hardly any appointments for indian, coloureds, asian, in other words no consideration of comptent people but all race based.

Yes coloured people were also victims of Apartheid but the primary reason for the existence of Apartheid was to separate Europeans from the Bantu Africans. That lead to black South Africans being more underdeveloped than every other race in the country. Thats why affirmative action was more focused on black South Africa. Coloured vote is definitely important though, but if they don't trust your party there's onlyso much you can do.

[@zephaniarutlokwana2891]

Coloreds dont want to Africans they dont want to be black that gives them problems because today black include the so called coloreds. They were treated better in apartheid times but now the feel that they are treated worse than they were in apartheid times. They are bunched up with other blacks which are neglected by ANC hence they feel the pinch. The think blacks are enjoying it all No its only the blacks who are politically connected who enjoy it even coloreds who are politically connected they enjoy the gravy train.
