Probably the most insightful one-liner I’ve read about South Africa in a while.
From a piece by The Guardian’s South Africa correspondent, David Smith. It’s what a cynic told him about Apartheid and its legacy.
Read Smith’s take on recent events in South Africa, including the white refugee crises here.
It’s worth reading the comments on the piece, which confirms this insight.

I thought his article really cut to the truth. It is rare that anyone can write it like that, and he is English, maybe his outsider’s perspective enabled him to say it how it is. I really enjoyed the article.
