As a South African I honestly cannot understand how people can't see South Africa as a unique nation, untied by ties of history, bonds of suffering, victory, struggles, hope - and in more ways than I ever before thought possible - blood.

About This Quote

I honestly cannot understand how people can't see South Africa as a unique nation, untied by ties of history, bonds of suffering, victory, struggles, hope - and in more ways than I ever before thought possible - blood. As a South African, I feel embarrassed to see this country treated like an object. It is not an object. It is my home.

I am proud of where I come from and where I live. I am proud of the people who built my country and the people who live here today.
