During the apartheid, millions complained that 99% of the faces on television were white, and today, in democratic South Africa, many quietly notice the same imbalance, just with the colours reversed.
While our country has made progress, we cannot ignore the fact that the media and politics have created a new form of separation. On some TV channels and social media platforms, you seldom see a balanced reflection of all South Africans. Posts or stories that do not fit a certain narrative are often filtered out or ignored, especially when they show good things happening in white or coloured communities.
That’s not democracy – That’s selective storytelling.
The truth is, ordinary South Africans, black, white, coloured, or Indian, are not enemies. We all face the same struggles: unemployment, crime, poor leadership, and lack of service delivery. Yet, politicians and certain media outlets continue to use race to divide us, because a divided nation is easier to control.
Meanwhile, our crime rates rise. Our moral values weaken. And our communities keep losing hope.
We can’t keep blaming each other. We must start holding the real problem accountable — the corruption, the lies, and the empty promises that have stolen the future of this beautiful country.
If we want to build South Africa again, we must stop looking at colour and start looking at character.
It’s time for ordinary citizens to unite, to speak with one voice, and to rebuild what politics has broken.
This nation belongs to all of us, and only together can we make it a place to be proud of again.
