that “only one idea has proven powerful enough to anchor SA identity, at least among those who are poor and black: the idea that one experienced apartheid, or that one’s parents did, and that one is therefore owed redress”.precarious, it makes it a fertile ground for those who lie, who twist facts and spread conspiracy theories.
