According to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), 64 per cent of Black South Africans are living in poverty. However, only one per cent of their White counterparts are poverty-stricken.
The anomaly is not just in the numbers; the reality on the ground also shows that South Africa is still a country of two different societies existing side by side, one rich and primarily White, and the other, poor and Black.
This glaring inequality between the two demographics has been a source of intense debate for decades. One question that is often asked is why this situation remains unchanged even after the fall of the apartheid system in 1994. Could White people be more prosperous because they are more hardworking? South African media personality Dan Corder has got the answer to this question. It is an answer that most racists might not like. In this video clip, Corder explains the different racist policies and laws that the apartheid regime put in place to give White people a head start – one that they’re still profiting from today.
