If you are a white South African, you are often reminded of your debt: when you see black poverty and when you listen to stories of hardship due to apartheid and the legacy thereof; when you study matric results and crime statistics, which often look better in formerly white areas; when you read the posters at political rallies calling for the death of Boere; when you hear politicians calling for white people to “go back” to where they come from and to give the land back. Apartheid was a crime perpetuated deliberately over generations and it caused irrevocable damage to millions of people alive today.
