The document summarizes key points made in a conversation between a narrator and Sheridan about the political and social changes that have occurred in South Africa over the past 10 years. It notes that blacks can now attend university, their children can go to white schools, and blacks now hold political positions like mayor in places like Kroonstad. However, the narrator expresses frustration with corruption among black officials and worries it maintains poverty.
