"We fought for freedom but we got democracy."

The South-African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela in an interview on radio 4 (Wed 2 Dec 09):
"The economy of South Africa is owned by the previously privileged community which is basically white; it is a white economy. We fought for freedom but we got democracy. It has given us the chance to vote and it has given us the chance not to be harassed..."
Justin Web: "And that's a start isn't it?"
HM: "Well it is not a good enough start. It might be a good enough start for you but I don't think that people can fight for 350 years and then all they gain is democracy, which they don't understand, and the freedom of harassment, I don't think that is good enough.
[...] I don't have the energy to waste any more on politics because I see it something which I can't affect."
JW: "But you did affect it, during apartheid..."
HM: "I can't affect it anymore because politics internationally has taken its own mould, and it is an international private club."
