Mandela turning in his grave
Mandela was part of the problem. (Not saying, of course, that he did or would condone this kind of lunacy.)
I wanted to say I feel like taking a personal lap punching the air, but since that would suggest I'm happy, I cannot. But I have never been motivated to visit South Africa and I;m glad. I even know two people --Yardie women-- who have moved there and wouldn't visit, despite having gone to the continent a few times. To my mind, the damn Boers should never have got off scot-free like they did, especially to the point of re-instituting some of the same Apartheid as before.
So then, I had harboured this little notion of attending a match at Wanderers for a West Indies engagement, as the one possible exception. Then came the first round of their xenophobic madness some years ago when I saw footage of a mob attack (with a knife) on a Mozambican shopkeeper. Horror of horrors... it was filmed by a white man no more than maybe a dozen feet away! Bakra Massa was in no danger at all.
No thank you on South Africa.
