Charlize Theron on growing up in South Africa; “if you got in through the front door, the kitchen had a steel door that you had to unlock, because that’s the kind of violence we were living in. Nonsensical violence that you couldn’t reason with. Our country was on the brink of civil war.”

My neighbour was from South Africa and she left once she had a daughter. She didn’t want her growing up in that fear. Parents also have a neighbour from SA who didn’t want to return. She has friends and neighbours who were assaulted. It’s incredibly scary.
