References made to the apartheid era have become somewhat of a cliché.
Many of the younger generation have no emotional connection to the suffering of those who grew up in the apartheid area. Today you are not stopped to produce your ID for curfew hour or hit in public for by a clueless person considered to be more superior due to their complexion. Access and the freedom of speech is enjoyed by all.
What I find to be a cliché is when a person meets resistance, they respond by spitting out quotes of respected apartheid "fighters" in order to gain the upper hand.
This I consider to be a cliché of the worst sort. What's worse is that some of the members in government are the number one examples of trying to deflect attention from their wrong doings by insinuating that the struggle for freedom gives them the right to do whatever they want.
They don't mention that the same tactic does not work for you if you are part of the working or middle class because then the law and all it's might applies to you.
