The beginning

I’m at an interesting time in my life, that might not seem out of the ordinary but it’s a change to what I’m used to. As a young South African living in this post modern world, identity is increasingly becoming a thorn in one’s foot. I’m faced with this obstacle of being part of a global community, at the same time I need to face the reality of my past and its implications to my current world. Over the next few weeks i wish to answer some questions regarding racial reconciliation, the identity of South Africans and how the bible and what Christ mandated fits into my life as a South African? So often “religion” is divorced from the realities we face everyday, realities of racism and white privilege. This is not just a one sided adventure to making the white Africans feel guilty for the deeds of apartheid but its step to learning how to empower a people that do not see the need to be empowered.
