South African history is marked by terrible racial discrimination and divisiveness, but also of uprising and triumph and democracy. Massive obstacles have been overcome to bring South Africa to where it is today, but there is nevertheless a long way for the nation to go as racial tensions and inequalities stubbornly remain. The dream, of a single nation, united yet full of diversity, is still a possibility and is closer to realization than ever before.
