Trauma in South Africa
Torey 2022-04-19 09:02:40
The story is not novel. A gangster gangster accidentally "saved" and "adopted" a victim's child, and was slowly inspired by his unshakable conscience. Unfortunately, at the end, I still cried . Not because of this story, but because of the heaviness of South Africa. How many such stories are happening in such a post-colonial land, and how much helplessness is there? Such problems (education, wealth gap, violence, Crime, domestic violence and gender power disparities, apartheid, cultural GHETTO and TRAUMA) are not easily solved by economic development.
