9:38 pm
and people then criticized clicks for what it called racism clicks did issue a statement its c.e.o. said i'm deeply disappointed that we allowed insensitive and offensive images to be published on our website and then went on to apologize under cervical for the hurt and anger that those images had caused but many people including a party like the saying that's not tonight because for a country like south africa that has a history of colonialism a part 8 and is still trying to navigate its way through one of the newest democracies in africa just over 25 or 26 years old it is still a very sensitive period in south africa where there are a number of issues around race relations and black african saying that with its corporate south africa with its institutions or even the government at times that they have been prejudiced this prejudice against them racism and that this is still
9:39 pm
an environment where black and whites are not adequately protected and understood and this again is an example where that has come to the fore we black people say black identity has been undermined in south africa with that but like that let's talk about this with. a political analyst on lecture at the university of course he's joining us from century and in south africa thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera so an apology has been issued by quick and the ad has been removed but the saying that's not enough how do you think this is going to play out. well i think the rejection of that village in part is that for a long time cooperate companies in south africa have had significant blame sports on the question of race and that reflects the man and we call that culture has not changed and to humanize player people and to really understand that you know black
9:40 pm
identity is one of your is that we'll see and mentor and that people in their food medicine in that natural route and be. a significant enough to be recognized as people and that nothing should divide and been from other races simply because of the n.h.l. and their natural setting so i think there injection of the apologies that too many apologies have been seen leave yesterday but it's nothing has demonstrated a change in behavior and in that call that culture out of some companies in south africa and in civilization and every year we anticipate that one company might find itself in trouble and that demonstrates a sense of insensitivity but also and ability to lead and try to do things differently from africa but here's the thing though i mean calling and
9:41 pm
calling it out as obviously a tremendously important to but it is some of the violence that's taking place going to undermine the cause because according to local news reports to click stores have been petrol bombs. not so that he ever valid says no place in our society and all of us i think we should condemn it with the contents that it does and but i also think we must context roll out is generally in south africa we see a lot of file in spinny age too many aspects of our society and it's something that we continuously can have through with and to discourage we've seen it included the right to protest where people in the region will even ben a school or a liability or a tribute that's meant to save be spent but because of those establishment at times and in prison and the government that they out of grief with they then i attempted those establishments so the question of violence and i think is fine but what about
9:42 pm
family even though years some even if it does tend to stalk and shias and into the nation to what violence but i think if we quoted text well enough we then say how many demonstrations where they had how many stores where shutdown peacefully and by fire and large i think that demonstrations of today where we thought of violence and why we climbed down these incidents of violence i think we must have grappled with the want is the meaning of the demonstration that you have if it's trying to do beyond just expressing outrage on social media and making sure that voice is ahead in that why it is on t.v. on all right so in that how does this all impact guy that discussion that you speak of around race and post apartheid south africa. well look i mean the discussion on his post over this other guy is a very big one and i do not think that we thought about racist stuff that pasta
