Question

READ THE EXREACT GIVEN BELOW AND ANSWER THI
THAT FOLLOW
The day was symbolized for me by the playing of our two national anthems,
and the vision of whites singing "Nkosi Sikelel-iAfrika' and blacks singing 'Die
Stem,' the old anthem of the Republic, Although that day neither group knew
the lyrics of the anthem they once despised, they would soon know the words
by hearts.
On day of inauguration, I was overwhelmed with a sense of history. In the first
decade of the twentieth century, a few years after the bitter Anglo-Boer war
and before my own birth, the white-skinned peoples of South Africa patched
up their differences and erected a system of racial domination against the
dark-skinned peoples of their own land. The structure they created formed the
basis of one of the harshest, most inhumane societies the world has ever
known. Now, in the last decade of the twentieth century, and my own eighth
decade as a man, that system had been overturned forever and replaced by
one that recognized the rights of freedoms of all peoples, regardless of the
colour of their skin.
