A sad day for South Africa and South African rugby. When will people wake up and realise what a total fuck up that place has become when women get raped randomly, toddlers have their throats cut and not even famous black celebrities (remember, Lucky Dube was killed last year) and sports figures are safe from the wanton and out of control violence in the country?[/quote]
When will people wake up you ask? Hopefully at the ballot box but I am not optimistic. Mandela was a terrorist, Mbeki rejects medical realities, and Zuma is an alleged rapist. When you have such poor quality leaders and such past behaviour is tolerated and even celebrated in the case of Mandela, it rubs off on the people. Give me Pik Botha or DeKlerk any day of the week! Mistakes were made by continuing apartheid, but apart from that, theleaders before Mandela (Botha, DeKlerk) generally followed evidence based policies.
Sorry, but I think they’ll be a lot more of these type of obits.
