Fanie, I don't think we whites have anything to gain by harping on how our "legacy" is being stomped on, when the entire country will benefit from understanding the difference between "decolonising" and "recolonising". I have made it my business here to assist those in the black community who want to understand why they should reject the preachings of the various political churches that want to put South Africa back to where Europe was at the end of the Roman Empire.

Zoe's cry is that of the newborn baby: she cannot possibly comprehend without evidence what the world would be like had Mandela's dream been followed for longer than the brief flash of the TRC.

New evidence Zoe has suggests that whites have nothing to contribute other than "your women and money" to her future. She's missing that we feel as trapped as she does, even though our escape route may be somewhat less thorny. We have to be willing to listen to her cry and do the best we can to help her, period. The ANC won't.
