Dutch Royals Heckled In South Africa

In this clip Dutch royals get a barrage of abuse while visiting a slavery museum in South Africa. Demonstrators waited outside the Slave Lodge, in Cape Town, holding signs that said ‘Respect Us’ and ‘We Want Compensation.’ A few months ago King Willem-Alexander apologised for his country’s colonial past and may have thought he’d be well received during his latest trip. But that clearly wasn’t the case with many still demanding reparations. He gets an earful from the members of the Khoisan indigenous community as he leaves the building with Queen Maxima. The pair are then whisked away by security before things get ugly. However, it’s not hard to understand this hostile reception.
Modern-day South Africa’s still scarred by its complicated history
Despite apartheid ending three decades ago, it remains the most economically unequal country in the world, according to the World Bank. On average Whites earn three times more than Blacks. And if you’re wondering how that happened, here’s a quick history lesson: Apartheid stemmed from colonial legislation imposed during Dutch rule in the 17th century. And it was continued and expanded when the British took control.
