The question is: do you still own up to this mumbo-jumbo? Do you still believe in the madness espoused by your discredited leader?
No more burying of heads in the sand. Face the truth!

You are making generalisations. Not ALL white South African people supported NP. The boys did not commit themselves to military service, we were forced to go. You had a choice, either you do military service or you end up in jail. There were one or two other ways to get out of military service but this was not well known.
Whether we still believe in the madness of apartheid? There will always be a minority who believe in doing their own thing but I think all in all the answer was given in March 1992 when the white people voted YES to call an end to apartheid. They voted yes because they were truly gatvol for the NP. And unlike what a lot of people believe about FW de Klerk, he did not call for 1992 referendum because he wanted apartheid to end, he called for the referendum to show the world that the white South African people would like to continue with apartheid and he got the biggest surprise of his life.
While a small amount of South Africans like to carry on like their forefathers the majority of us is happy to help build a democratic South Africa. Unfortunately people like yourself make it damn difficult to carry on believing in a multi-racial democratic South Africa. How many times do you want us to say sorry? Sorry for something I had no say in. Sorry that I tried to make a difference. Sorry that I lost my job because of affirmative action. Sorry that I had to start from scratch to rebuild my life while still believing it is for the better. Sorry that the building me and my son build from nothing with long hours and little sleep is reasonably successfull. Sorry that at this point I can only appoint two people of colour, because I would rather pay each of them a descent salary than to have the four employees I actually need but could not afford to pay that well.
Now let me ask you a question - What did you do up to now to make a difference, to make the democracy work?
