Multicultural South Africa

South Africa is a very multicultural society. According to southafrica.info “Africans are in the majority at 37.2-million, constituting 79.4% of the total population. The white population is estimated at 4.4-million (9.3%), the coloured population at 4.1-million (8.8%) and the Indian/Asian population at 1.1-million (2.5%).” Unfortunately, on a day to day basis, you still see a lot of segregation with little real mixing of blacks, whites and coloured people. The different racial groups appear to live next to each other, but donĀ“t really mix that much.

It is always delightful to see examples where kids of different cultural backgrounds actually hang out together. We therefore thought it was worthwile to take a picture of this engaged discussion between three boys of different colours at Gold Reef city:
