Answer:
In "1959:What Is Apartheid?", Gordimer paints a picture of Johannesburg, the city she lives in, to support her point of view about apartheid. She writes about her experience with being raised in a home with servants and the prejudice that her family, and basically the rest of the white people had against black people. “But no black man has his home in the white city; neither wealth nor honour or distinction of any kind could entitle him to move into a house in the street where I or any other white persons live. So it easily happens that thousands of white people live their whole lives without ever exchanging a word with a black man who is like themselves, on their own social and cultural level...Out of this experience all the platitudes of apartheid sound endlessly, like the bogus sea from the convolutions of a big shell: they're like children . .. they don't think the way we do . .. they're not ready ..”. Gordimer explains how the white people viewed and thought about black people. She is persuasive in the way she describes how segregation had treated black people more drastically. I think she did stated opinion clearly, Gordimer is against apartheid and thinks it was terrible and dehumanizing how the “servants” were treated.
