But, in the end, I must admit it's of critical value to continue with conversations like this as they are a constant reminder of how sectional divisions still persist in our so-called rainbow nation and that we need to seriously interrogate the obsession with social cohesion that's void of restorative justice. I was one of the many who believed the event was unnecessary. Gauteng's Education MEC and the ANC's provincial deputy chairperson Panyaza Lesufi later walked out of the event, afterwards tweeting that he was "deeply disappointed" as Rupert missed an "opportunity to take the country forward". She did so in a room where guests noted that "money was arrogant" but still, nevertheless, cap in hand asked for lessons and resources from a paternalistic Rupert. But she subdued this fear and spoke her truth regardless of the consequences. When she stood up on Tuesday evening she would've been mindful of the power dynamic that exists between her as a woman, Mkhari as her boss and Rupert, a privileged white male.

Rappetti was in the audience and first expressed her views on Twitter, asking, "Am I the only one feeling a tinge of insult in the way Rupert is engaging with Mkhari?" She eventually stood up, doing for South Africa what Mkhari and many in the Sandton venue failed to do. It is the host, who instead of challenging a powerful man perpetuating harmful ideas about wealth, hard work, youth and blackness opted to laugh, bow his head and dismiss certain claims, who I have a problem with. It is the young black professionals we are meant to aspire to, putting out a hand asking for help from the rich white man I cannot reconcile myself with. I am angry with the middle class folk in the audience who couldn't help but laugh and clap hands at every awkward moment of the tortuous interview. READ: Rupert schooled in the art of talking but not listening Based on his mannerism and remarks, he obviously sees himself as rich, generous, and, by extension, somehow better than others. To say I was upset, shocked and disappointed would be an understatement.
