Pretoria, August 14 -- An affluent white family has decided to spend a month in a Mamelodi shack. Julian and Ena Hewitt together with their two children left the comfort of their Wapadrand plot in Pretoria to experience everyday life in a South African township.

I am a 24 year old young man, and I can honestly say that generally people my age are not racist. I am not saying that there are none. But I don't know of anyone my age that hates people from other races because of their ethnicity or skin color. We as believers, that this world can be rasism free, must stand together and fight for a rasism free future.

@@pylchott9864 Speak the truth! They must not have seen all of the stories about white college students dressing in blackface and derogatory costumes. What about the young, white racist mass shooters in the U.S.? The white boys marching with torches in North Carolina were mostly in their 20s/30s. Just because they smile in your face and sleep with you doesn't mean they aren't racist. Everyone wants some chocolate. Y'all better wake up. They will play with you now, but when college is over, they put on their suits and join the other white oppressors. If this white family doesn't give her a raise and move her to a better home they are full of sh _t. This smells like a white guilt dog and pony show to me. I'm with you Eck. No white validation needed.

This is what I have always said about South Africa, the problem is, we do not understand each other’s struggles and this is why to point fingers at each other when we don’t understand why we tend to fight for the things we fight for in each and every race. I commend this family for trying to understand the other side!!!! We need to learn about each person’s struggles and understand where we are all coming from and maybe people can band together to fight against the injustice we face as South Africans at the hands of our government, instead of pointing fingers at one another!!! Lovely!!!

@mbigboyny you where obviously taught/conditioned to hate people judging by the outward appearance of skin color! Don't you know we are all uniquely loved and created for a special reason beyond this physical world/ appearance? Do you not realise that this life here on earth is temporary? We all have blood flowing through our veins, which makes us the same color: red. Judging someone just because of the skin tone they where born into is so shallow and misleading, what a waste of time! Nothing is hidden from God's sight and every person will have to give God an answer when their time is up. What will you say to OUR CREATOR when your cord is cut my friend?

I like what they did, the only way to know how it is like, is to experience it! The sad part is of course that a domestic worker earns so little money that they can not improve their standard of living beyond this. But because of very high unemployment rate in South Africa the salaries are kept very low... But this particular family is not to blame for that of course.. :)

You don't have to ask for permission to come stay and work everyday from such condition , and now we are at peace with one another....I hope the rest will follow and that will show the GOVERMENT that people need not be divided by colour or wealth ( as corruption is RIPE is GOVERMENT ) This is a GOOD example and I do recommend our WHITE folks should learn us , from that.
