Moin zusammen,

immer mehr weiße südafrikanische Liberale, die sich aktiv für das Ende des Apartheid-Regimes eingesetzt haben, geben zu, dass sie einer Illusion erlegen sind:

The rainbow is a shattered mirror

Written by Breyten Breytenbach

…

After 1994, for a period, there was an inclusive will to unite around the dream of a new nationhood that could embody the morality of forgiveness and even perhaps mutual trust, but it quickly drifted into the sewer of betrayed expectations and predator politics, of fear and uninhibited greed, immorality and racism. Nothing was done to promote inclusiveness. How then could “healing” have taken place?

After the initial transitional phase of cohesiveness it quickly became clear that the One Nation as a promised land would be directed by hegemonic Black Nationalism and a deep desire to excise the past and rewrite history. In practice, the ruling party’s demand that “it is now our time, it is our turn to eat” – which manipulates nationalism based on skin colour as the last refuge of the scoundrel and a way to excise the past – means the ruthless enrichment of deployed cadres to the disadvantage of the remainder of the population.

This “disadvantage” – impoverishment and lack of service delivery – has now made the country hostage to crime and ethnic populism. And everyday reality makes it increasingly clear that it is expected of Afrikaners to transfer their skills, farms, schools, banking cards, shares, cell phones, arms, liquor, and gardening tools, quietly, in guilt, before they themselves disappear from Africa and history, and that they have no moral right to object to their fate.
