It is crucial to remember the long history of systemic violence and repression under apartheid. While we must condemn violence, it is almost as if expecting a complete societal transformation in just 30 years after 400 years of brutal colonial oppression is a tad unrealistic. But hey, who needs historical context when we can just expect instant perfection, right?
Absolutely. A large part of this problem is due to intergenerational trauma & the legacies of apartheid and colonisation. Those biological memories are very real.
