  • You sound like the simpleton.

  • So if a black teacher does not pitch for shcool, its apartheids fault? After 15 years of 'freedom' that country could not get teachers trained up to do the job and its apartheids fault?

    the problem is still whites... how stupid are you? Look at how these students try to make it on their own... its not a colour thing, they do not need the whites and they do not need to blame the whites. 

    It is an excuse that makes you feel better for your failures. get over yourself.

  • omg its not racism its fact that african people are stupid its just how they are whites asians and arabs smart well not so much arabs but i can say that i am smarter then all the blacks in the world its how god made me people just need to stop trying to fit in you are not racist for being better then another race thats like saying a german shepherd is the same as a chiwawaus when they are not the german shepherd is faster stronger taller smarter better in every way we are not the same its a lie

  • TheNewYorkTimes would you please tell the world the truth!!! We do not blame apartheid for our dismal education system, we blame the OBE from the UNITED STATES!!! That system was a disaster from the beginning to the end of it. Thank GOD it's over. We have what it takes to make it on our own and we will do it the Mzansi way! William Spady and his OBE can go to the nearest hell, and while there, tell the devil that we are not coming!!!

  • Oh my gosh. Can people stop defending their race and stop blaming particular races?! Am i the only one here who sees 2 potential South African doctors who are willing to do whatever it takes but still keep failing. Can you recognise the dreams of these children? Can we stop talking about color and start seeing the multitudes of children who are losing hope in their dreams. We need real, colourless solutions. Stop being selfish and making this all about race. Stop focusing on petty things!!!

  • GO BLONDIE! YOU BECOME What YOU WANT TO BE!

  • Wrong again New york times you guys have got no fucking clue how bad the schools are so why don't all you fucking Americans mind your fucking business and deal with your problems instead of looking for shit, We kick your ass once in Somalia do you want us to do it again?

  • the school looks like a jail o_o look at the doors in the end of the video

  • this doesn't only happen in south africa only....we all know it happens it happens in all black communities

  • @Caeraebro mate, you are a moron. I freaking hate morons with too much knowledge.
