Racism has become an integral part of everyday life in South
Africa, and some analysts say that it is time to address this issue. The race
war continues to rage in South Africa, especially on social media. South Africa
has emerged from a very painful past, a past that some South Africans find very
difficult to talk about and forget. South Africans mainly view themselves along
colour lines. Conversations about race have always been an issue; black people,
have particularly been discriminated against based on their skin colour. The
world, in general, seems to be battling with the scourge and the scars of
racism and South Africa is no exception. It can be argued that racism itself is
a very old phenomenon and therefore laws have been enacted to bring about order
to protect citizens. In recent years, South Africa has been characterized by
statements that seek to divide the nation along colour lines. This study aimed
to assess the perceptions of students towards racism and provide
recommendations on how to minimize its effects and promote nation-building and
a common understanding. The study followed a qualitative approach, where data
was collected using in-depth interviews and analysed thematically.
