Really ... surely not the bobbies ...


 
I just wonder, now that Mandela's calming influence has gone, how long before the ANC(which has some rather unsavory people in it) decides they don't need to be a 'Rainbow Nation' any more. The lot of the bulk of its voters hasn't improved much and they know it, freedom doesn't buy food and land. Zimbabwe's extreme solutions may begin to have more and more appeal.
 
the problem is there is no alternative to the ANC
In next years election, the ANC are guaranteed to win.
Its not healthy
 
Did anyone see the funky sign language man on stage with all the dignitaries yesterday? He looked like he was translating with attitude. It has just been on BBC News that he was a fake, he was actually stood next to Obama at one point. Bit of an embarrassment for the organisers. Gave me a laugh though.

Quite possibly because it is still tribal and the Xhosa are the majority, but people still live in hope. I think you have got it in one.
