Because if we deal with it in this way, we can prevent racial problems."During the interview, Moeletsi Mbeki, who is a political economist and deputy chairman of the South African Institute of International Affairs as well as current chairman of Endemol South Africa, offered some of his views on racism.He said: "We have to be careful on the significance of the opinions being expressed and on what basis they have been founded on."South Africa has a long history of conflict, it is important to understand that. You can't manage a problem if you don't know where it comes from."Everything on social media is magnified and this is what we need to be careful about when coming to the platform," he said...
