Let me tell you the reality of this country. I'll give you an example from my own estate, which is predominantly white. I would estimate that at least 50% of the white residents here are struggling financially. Some can barely afford their rent. The other day, a white neighbour actually approached me to borrow money to buy groceries just to get through to month-end. Drive around and stop at a traffic light on Beyers Naudé Drive. You'll find white people begging on the streets too. They are also dealing with unemployment, debt, rising living costs and financial hardship, just like you and me. And here's something people don't talk about enough: there are black residents in my estate who are considerably wealthier than some of their white neighbours. Some earn massive salaries, while others run successful businesses. So where do we get this idea that every white person is rich and every black person is poor? Wealth is not distributed according to skin colour. Yes, South Africa has serious historical economic inequalities, and wealth remains concentrated in relatively few hands. But that doesn't mean every white person benefits from that wealth or has a trust fund waiting for them. **Not every white person is related to Johann Rupert!** 😂 Let's stop treating ordinary people as representatives of wealthy families. Poverty doesn't check your race before moving into your bank account. 🇿🇦
