"Nothing's Changed" by Tatamkhulu Afrika is a poignant poem that reflects on the enduring impact of apartheid in South Africa. The speaker revisits a once-familiar place and confronts the stark reality of change—or the lack thereof—in a societal context marred by racial division. The vivid imagery captures both the beauty of the landscape and the bitterness of inequality, as the speaker recalls his past and witnesses the unchanged prejudices that persist. Through this powerful narrative, Afrika emphasizes themes of memory, loss, and resilience, inviting readers to grapple with the complexities of personal and collective identity in a fractured world.
