Another very practical example that reminds us of the lack of this moral fibre in our society is what is happening often still in the practical everyday life of South Africa. One example that comes to my mind immediately, if I had to think about it now, is the Vryburg High School example where clearly that moral fibre is non-existent between the communities involved. They’re still living in worlds apart as if nothing has changed over the last few years. They still do it in the same way as ten years or more ago. And what I think is important is that we have to take that example as a lesson and say it can go wrong elsewhere in the country as well unless we work towards getting ourselves together as different communities, as different individuals, as people belonging to the same nation. So the moral fibre is a wide ranging concept in my mind and it has to be addressed by our leaders and by every citizen.
