"Where were white people protesting after the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 that killed 69 black people, where were they when the police and army killed hundreds in 1976-77. "

I was there, in June 1976, on the grass verge at UCT, along Rhodes Drive. I may not claim any death threats, then or later, no self-imposed exile, but 7000 of us students took the protests seriously, some were arrested, most of us eventually returned to our books.

Today, if there were a protest to restore the academic qualities of the UCT I remember I would join it, not for he sake of nostalgia or colonialism, but to give the youth of South Africa the benefits, that you may like to call privileges, thatt apartheid granted me.

Your attitude is insulting. Do you seriously believe that 4.8 million South African (babies and senior citizens included) have the duty to compel a government representative of the majority of citizens, or voters, at  least, to do what is best for those voters? Because of past privilege?
