I once was at a meeting in Durban and I had to cab in from Umlaanga Rocks, along miles and miles of streets lined by steel gates and high walls, some with razor wire. Honestly, it looked in places like a gigantic prison.

I asked the cabbie about it once, and he said, "Oh, yes - just like in America".

He wasn't kidding.

“I asked the cabbie about it once, and he said, “Oh, yes - just like in America”...He wasn’t kidding. “

Maybe that’s what he thinks of America, but it is not yet the reality...although it will be in one generation once Amnesty is passed.

What I wonder about is what did those neighborhoods look like 30 years ago, when the whites ran the country.
