Lillian Dube On Looking After White People While Her Son Was Home Alone During Apartheid! Lillian Dube is now an accomplished actress for decades now but she also had humble beginnings.
In a recent interview Lillian revealed that she used to a nurse aid in an old age home for white people which meant she had less time to take care of her own child.
“I worked as a nurse aid in an old age home and I would nurse bloody white people when my child had no one to look after her. But because my mother told me that no matter what I do, I must do it well. I loved those white people. We laughed and they were always there to support me,” an emotional Lillian said.
Lillian was speaking about how people today do not understand where we come from and what the older generation went through during apartheid.
“Besides the corruption that is there, the struggle for equality is still there. Take public hospitals, they were beautiful for whites. Go into trains, white people were allowed to read newspapers while on the train, while we were together like sardines so that we could not even sit down. You had people grinding on you because you were so close. People don’t talk. We had a terrible life.”
