In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

That headline is deeply disrespectful. Not to JG Zuma. To every South African. Alive and dead.

Imagine if the EFF had to protest against misogyny. They'd have to march to each other's houses...

Allow me to add one more, a shithole is an astronomically wealthy nation that refuses to conduct free and fair elections, giving the win every time to the corporatists, and yet claims to be the beacon of liberty and democracy.

It's amazing how there is white control over public space. If you look at a lot of beaches, though most are publicly owned, they are effectively privatised by who owns the land and businesses around them. Sodwana Bay in KZN is a prime example of where this happens. xitter.gq/Priyanka101/status/952…

67 minutes for Mandela are just PR stunts to paint famous people as champions of the poor. Poverty is everyday, ending it must trend daily👌
