I was beat up at school quiete often for my 'liberal' ideas, and my dad just shook his head everytime. And Iwas expelled from a more posh school for painting the huge portrait of PW Botha with black PVA, after the headmaster refused my request to remove the painting from the school hall.
But this is nothing to the suffering of the millions of black south Africans. And I can tell you being an anti-apartheid Afrikaans speaker was not easy too!! Ask someone like the GREAt Bran Fischer, or Breyten Breytenbach.
