Bigfoot

Hello again. Well anyway I know that South Africa has some interesting background. My mother told me that white and black people weren't allowed to sit on the same bench, or in the same bus and things like that. It was called like apartheid. Really weird though I mean just because I have a different skin means I am stupid or less worth. Wow really? And they thought that white people were more valuable. 
Bloody idiots. Awell of course I want to know more about apartheid and also how they live here. It must be a big difference between Sweden. So the best way is to look for a family that has lived here for many years.

I walked down to Durban to look for a family that I could have a chat with. So I went to the first flat that I saw. I knocked on some doors. Because some people weren't interested in me when I presented myself. Anyway as I said after three doors a family let me in. They had three children. Sounds a bit lot to me. Well the children's parents sat down with me and we immediately started talking.

They told me that some people are very rich and some other live in home lands. It's very different. It depends where you live and how you live. People that live in home lands are very poor. And they don't have enough money for education for jobs. They may not have money for food or clothes for the children as well. The big problem here which I have heard is aids in South Africa. Many people have died from it and it's very affective. Many children lose their parents and they can be homeless. Or perhaps their grandma takes care of them. But she might not have enough money as well.

I mentioned about the apartheid. And they say that white people had more power here before and even now. They basically just made up rules that white and black people weren't allowed to be together. I'm just thinking to myself how could you come up with that. White are very rich in South Africa apparently. Because they have more power. You know they own more land and companies.

In Sweden you have never had a colony, but it was a poor country before the Second World War. The reason why we became rich is because we weren't in the Second World War and we had a lot of resources. And so we sold many things to Europe. So in a way Sweden got rich because of the Second World War. It's funny if you think about it.

South Africa hasn't had a nice history really. It's very tragic. And I must say I'm very lucky to live in Sweden. I wonder really how South Africa is going to turn out in the future.
