We complain about the number of teenage pregnancies and school dropouts…but what else can you expect from children who grew up alone while their mother’s cleaned our homes and their father’s worked in our mines?
We complain about miners dying from silicosis, but what other jobs are there? How else can you support your family?

We complain about a lethargy and disorganization in our public service, but what else can we expect from a largely uneducated population?
Knowing nothing will change, nothing will improve. How would u deal with the boredom?

We just benefitted from it. Whose responsibility is it then?
