Why has Mr. Gregory never read the Freedom Charter?

Question

i think this question was from the movie goodbye rafana

Answer 1

Mr. Gregory has never read the Freedom Charter because, as a white South African living under apartheid, he has been raised within a system that discourages questioning its authority. The government portrays the Freedom Charter as dangerous and subversive, so people like Mr. Gregory are taught to fear it rather than understand it. As a result, he accepts what he has been told instead of seeking out the document himself.

This shows how apartheid controlled not only people’s actions but also their access to ideas and information. Mr. Gregory’s lack of knowledge reflects his initial ignorance and unquestioning acceptance of the system.
