Zu Informationen zu - Der Vorbereitung meines Studienaufenthaltes - Auswahl der Universität - Ankunft und Formalitäten in Kapstadt - Wohnsituationen - Und ersten Impressionen aus Südafrika verweise ich auf meinen Zwischenbericht zu finden auf der DAAD-Homepage (unter www.daad.de/medien/südafrika_zwischenbericht_max-sebastian_obbarius.pfd ), in dem diese Themen ausführlich beschrieben sind. Im folgenden Bericht versuche ich lediglich dem Leser meinen Aufenthalt etwas anschaulicher nahe zu legen. Im Anschluss auf den Bericht werde ich für diejenigen Ingenieure, die Interesse haben, an der UCT zu studieren, die einzelnen Module, die ich belegt habe, näher beschreiben. 1 Abschlussbericht – University of Cape Town Max-Sebastian Obbarius Leben in Südafrika Südafrika – ein Land der großen Gegensätze. Das trifft in jeder Hinsicht auf das Land zu. Die Landschaft, die Kultur, die Verteilung der Reichtümer, die Menschen, die Rassen – Rasse ein Begriff, der uns Deutschen aufgrund unserer Geschichte nur schwer über die Lippen geht und der auch im Bewusstsein möglichst vermieden wird. Ein weiterer Gegensatz zwischenDeutschland und Südafrika also. In dem einen Land wird der Begriff vermieden, wo es nur geht, im anderen wird mit dem Begriff förmlich um sich geschmissen. In der Politik, bei Förerdungsprogrammen (Black Economic Empowerment), auf der Straße, bei Demonstrationen, bei Witzen. Und trotzdem, und das ist der nächste Gegensatz, bin ich selten in einem Land so freundlich und vorbehaltlos aufgenommen worden wie in Südafrika.
