Discuss the following themes in relation to what is happening WASTED OPPORTUNITIES

In South Africa at the time shown in My Children! My Africa!, schools for white and black South Africans were completely segregated. This is shown in the play by Isabel and Thami attending different schools, and the fact that Thami did not receive an equal education to Isabel is shown by Isabel's shock and disgust at how simple and dull Thami's school seems. However, the play shows that even black South Africans raised in these segregated areas had the intellect to succeed in academics and in life, if the government would have allowed them the chance them. Mr. M believed that Thami had opportunities to work in the white world and make South Africa better for blacks. Thami did not have the patience for this. What Mr.M thought was an opportunity was regarded as suspect by Thami. Thami felt that nothing short of violent insurgence would change things.
