A South African court has blocked the government from buying 11 million Chinese condoms, saying they are too small, a newspaper reported Friday.
The finance ministry had awarded a contract to a firm called Siqamba Medical, which planned to buy the Phoenurse condoms from China, the Beeld newspaper said.
A rival firm, Sekunjalo Investments Corporation, turned to the High Court in Pretoria after losing the bid, arguing that their condoms were 20 percent larger than the Chinese ones.
Judge Sulet Potterill blocked the deal with Siqamba, ruling that the condoms were too small, made from the wrong material, and were not approved by the World Health Organisation, the paper said.
South Africa has more HIV infections than any country in the world, with 5.38 million of its 50 million people carrying the virus.

This is news?
Chinese comdoms are most likely too small for any other nation in the world.
Good point. All the guys, or just the black guys?
Actually, as Chinese and Asian men become wealthier in America and around the world, I am seeing more of the other way around. In another 30 years, who knows .... ;)
Also, alot of guys here (in the US and on the FR) like talking about this subject as it relates to China or Asia since they prefer not to talk about how it relates in America or the West. For example, the phrase, "Once you go black, you never want to go back" was a term coined by white women in regards to dating black males here in the US :)
And calling someone an "African American" is a new term, which was promulgated by Jesse Jackson,not all that long ago.
Look, let's make this easy......any person born in France, Italy, Spain, etc. is a EUROPEAN. WHY? Because they were born on that continent. Yes, they're also an Italian, or Spaniard, etc., but then again, someone born in Kenya is a Kenyan AND an African, as well.
But back to South Africa...........every single one born there, IS an African as well as a South African! Whites, who have an ancestry of the first settlers ( the Dutch and French Huguenots ) are also called BOERS and/or Afrikaners. Those whites who came much later, with the invading Brits, aren't;but they are still Africans and South Africans as well.
This is really NOT "difficult". :-)
Sounds like they may have been balloons.
Here’s a classic example of why we have stereotypes...Because they’re true!!!
The Chinese Politburo threatened to mount a sizable retaliation. The Red Chinese Army troops were seen pitching tents and saluting their flags at the South African border.
“the smaller the penis the higher the intelligence..”
I camnot onnerstant which yuo arr sayign. Cuud yuu put it inna simpellr whords fer mee?
I read somewhere that these were actually female condoms - did anybody else see anything about that? If so, that would mean the condoms were too small for the female, not the male?
“How Long is a Chinaman...”
From what I hear not very long at all. But still much longer and stronger than a muzzie! The next major war will be fought to see who has the longer dong!
“One only wonders what knockoff material they’re using in the production process. It could well be that, aside from sizing issues, they are ineffective against STD’s as well.”
I betcha the Chinese have used a “special” powder in them and that is why the African men’s penis’ are disappearing. Here one minute and gone the next. Yeah it’s a master plan by the Chinese to make every African male a eunch and thereby wiping out a total country. Start that rumor over there and just watch the fireworks! You know how superitious they all are!
LOL
Oh man now you went and did it. Made me think about Thresa, give me one more drink, Kerry!
Sorry about that.....though it’s your memory and not anything I wrote, that made you think of old Terry “ketchup” Kerry. :-)
This article made my day!
“That’s INCHES, not centimeters. Re-read the spec!!!!”
Yes, he is.
That would actually be pretty hilarious to witness, the terror as the Africans freak out and start attacking the Chinese who reside in SA right now.
A gal I knew years ago was married to an Asian.....she jokingly (perhaps) referred to him as “Rice Dick”.
hear! hear! I have friends from S. Africa and Zimbabwe who are of English or Boer or Polish origin, pale white, but they are proud Africans and feel strong ties to Africa.
