Survivor South Africa - Possible Racial Politics

26.11.06

|

I am watching the final episode of the first Survivor program in South Africa. In every other Survivor in any other country of the world things would be clear cut. I won, you won, she did, he did, black, white, coloured, Indian, man or women it wouldn't be about gender, race, religion or any of these labels. But I just can't help but ponder about the political innuendo and influences of the South African version of our show.

There are two survivors left, one white woman and one black women. Incredibly convenient for demographics I must say. But this could easily be put down to coincidence. Now we wait and see who exactly the winner will be. Vanessa (black girl) or Jacinda (White Afrikaans girl).

Update to follow in about an hour when I know who wins!
