For black people, especially unmarried women, travel is a definite luxury that probably only happens once every two years.
A friend who lives in France. who by European racial standards is biracial, told me that travel is not something black South Africans do.
Images of overweight, greedy politicians taking their mistresses or side chicks on holiday with hard-earned taxpayers’ money still dominate social media, to the point that the average white person is under the impression that all people of colour enjoy holidays that are funded by the gravy train. This isn’t the case.Black people live in the depths of black tax and suffer from tremendous guilt when it comes to supporting immediate and even extended family.
Suddenly, cousins you never hear from are calling and nagging for rent money because, in their eyes, you are wealthy. It’s really an uncomfortable position to be in, having to explain to your family where you got the money.
