69

So once upon a time, there was a period called Apatheid in South Africa when people were treated differently based on their race, or rather colour.
Un old chair written with 'Non-Whites Only' at the back of busy Long street in Cape Town just remained me of those days that we probably forgot now.
It was shocking to me since I have never seen these kind of stuff in the real world outside of museums or books. There was another chair written with 'Whites Only' right next to the 'Non-Whites Only'. So.. when I saw the chairs placed right next to each other maybe only 1m away, I felt so... weird and hazy. It would be mainly because I had never expected to see them in the real life. It was actually just around corner from where I always walk around.
A piece of history living in a hectic modern days.
I found it interesting.
How about you?
