i have to tell you i love South AFrica. i was there last November and one of my favorite trips. I have been to africa 3 times and loved each trip. i know i had the sanatized tourist version but there is no country as beautiful as south africa. the only sad thing was i was sitting in the airport waiting for my plane and a light skinned black lady told me that her race was being discriminated. apparently jobs were given to blacks and white people but not her color.

Apartheid would still have been in force in your childhood. I wonder do you remember those times, and what have the changes since then been like for you and yours?

There is this one incident I can't erase from my mind and I was about 4yrs old. My parents worked for a white family and we lived on their property. One day I climbed on something to look over the fence into the neighbours back yard and the neighbour came out of the house and pointed a gun at me.. just because I was of colour. Also experienced being one of the first non-white that was able to go to a so-called white school. I was received very well and didn't have any issues there.

@3timesalady That is terrifying, having a gun pointed at you at that age and for that reason! But I am glad to know that you were made welcome in that school!
