The empire - in the context of South Africa

Abstract

My premise is that apartheid created the “empire” system in South Africa, with its resulting consumerist culture; the western/European style of living and presentation has become the norm for a majority of South Africans. What part did Christianity play in this? The Bible has been used to justify so many injustices, especially slavery. Post-apartheid, is South Africa still under the empire system – a social and economic dominance of a few over the masses? Using articles as well as personal observation, I will try to show that in post-apartheid South Africa the empire system still exists.
