Seven tragic days in July: Trying to make (some) sense of South Africa by hearing old themes with new(er) clarity
Jeff Rudin
The untold tragedies of our days in July 2021 urge us to continue dreaming. This is how we change ourselves and the world that creates us as we, reciprocally, create, sustain and pass it on to everyone else. For us as South Africans, we can begin realising Martin Luther King’s dream by moving way beyond the chimeral securities of race and its racial thinking.

Unlike the early contributions – including those in
Daily Maverick’s “Age of Anarchy” series of 15 July 2021 – I, with the luxury of thinking time, might be able to suggest layers of complexity difficult to reach by the demands of instant comment.
Underlining these commentaries is the need for introspection, distilled into two fundamental questions: how did we get here and what is to be done? The single dominant answer to both is various forms of the failure of Transformation. This is well captured by Andrew Gasnolar:
“The lived experience of the vast majority continues to be shaped by an exclusionary system that has been far too slow to change.”
