I was part of that last generation of South Africans who had an experience of apartheid. This years commemorations coincide with the divisive exaggerations of an impending election on 7 May, and have been both laconic and polarising. What could have been a unifying moment of a past remembered and future reimagined has turned out rather differently. 20 years after that first election we are a country divided, between those who say we have to celebrate, and those who lament that we can only commiserate.
