South Africa the "DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY"

Good morning children Azania.

I don't know if it me or everybody feels this, to me it always feels wrong to proudly say GOODMORNING  knowing very well it is not a good morning at all, as we are still oppressed by not apartheid laws but our own government and their bias laws who claims to be democratic.

Maybe it is my lack of understanding on certain words used by our superiors in this country, words such as 'democratic' 'freedom' and 'equal' so I did some minor research.

Democracy:
A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. It's further described as the belief in freedom and equality between people, or a system of government based on this belief, in which power is either held by elected representatives or directly by the people themselves.

Freedom:
the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants (they sure use this one a lot I discovered)


Equality:
the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities, Is a state of affairs in which all people within a specific society or isolated group have the same status in certain respects, often including civil rights, freedom of speech, property rights, and equal access to social goods and services.
tried ignoring Oscar Pistorius's story and his 'sentencing' but it later got to me that this are kind of issues we shouldn't ignore. This country is going nowhere because of us 'ignorant citizens', I've observed and read most of the comments on this issue, others even come to say it is racism but how? because Judge Masipa is black I would rather refer it to as white privilege.

okay so let's analyze this, in this country for rob two men who robbed the SABC news reporter, were sentenced 15 years in prison, for killing a rhino you are sentenced 25 years in prison and  Killing a human being only 6 years in prison (if you are white) yet we claim we living in a democratic country we are free and equal. equal really?

Maybe it is my lack of understanding of these words but anyway. I am a 'born free'  so they call us but I still awaits to experience an equal and democratic country. a country where we will be equal and given same equal rights and be treated as the same.
