The BBC are now on it too  :buggedout:

What makes me  :hatred: is that these morons who have run a once prosperous country into the ground with their corruption, greed and general apathy towards the public now say "there is no evidence" that they sold arms to Putin. Yeah right. :tongueout:

The South African government is a communicable disease in itself.

Indeed: when Bill Clinton visited here, Nelson Mandela told him that the SA government would not turn their backs on Russia or Cuba due to their support in the apartheid years.

I have noticed the deeper one looks into the life of Mandela, the less admirable he comes across, and frankly I am not sure he deserves his iconic standing. I also know no one is all good or all bad, and I don't doubt there are instances when he did good things.

Trevor, by complete coincidence, I've been listening to two albums from S.A. jazz musicians this week (Bokani Dyer, Mthunzi Mvubu). So your cultural scene is thriving, at least.

She may as well get with the times and blame colonialism.   It would get more international attention.   :lookingup:

The world's most unfunniest comedian IMO is paid almost $2 million to promote South Africa, his birth country,

That is ZAR33 million of taxpayers' money, even though they say it isn't.

Wild Earth keeps interrupting its live safaris with commercials. One second I'll be focusing on a leopard crouching ready to spring at a baboon, the next I'm seeing an ad with those unspeakably awful blue Charmin bears jawing about how much they love toilet paper. Considering the broadcast originates in South Africa, this seems a good place to gripe about that.
