Worthwhile comments from a personal perspective. But while her opinion is valid, it does not really address the national 'conversation' of all kinds of prejudice still present in SA, but only the obvious: real and perceived white racism.

Nt’sekhe is in an ideal position to 'unpack' the DA's vision for a non-racial and non-discriminatory nation, which perceptibly has gotten worse under the ANC's race-baiting since Mandela's rainbow nation. But she only raises the obvious: the white racism bogeyman. I suspect DM published this only because she's in a prominent position, as the media does of politicians' pieces, and not because it says anything fresh and insightful. (Ed. What does it take to be an opinion writer?).

For an objective, factual account of race relation see http://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/race-relations-are-still-sound-but--irr. According to IRR's survey of the population, racism is not SA's most serious unresolved problem. Only politicians and media think it is.
