Gee, I see the socialist/black racist government takeover to replace the capitalist/white racist government has gone as expected.

[ClearCase_guy]

I remember the US newspapers were relentless in telling the public about what a horrible place South Africa was.

Then Apartheid ended.
Mandela was freed.
And all the bad things stopped happening.

"Rape Capital of the World"
"AIDS Pandemic"
"Tribal/Dictator Atrocities"

Yeah, I want to go to Africa. NOT!

I wonder how much of this has to do with the belief that having sex with a virgin cures HIV/AIDS? I understand that this belief is fairly common in Africa.

[ManOnAMission_01]

And people wonder why there is such a huge HIV epidemic...

[YouPosting2Me]

Did Michael Jackson know about this?

[threeleftsmakearight]

Simple explanation:
Bush's fault!

Should we resume boycotting companies that do business with South Africa?

[bigfootbob]

They just announced Friday, they are going to allow same-sex marriages.

[genefromjersey]

This is the same South Africa that sent Arch-Bishop Tutu over here to lecture us on morality !

[US_MilitaryRules]

Send bill cliton to the rescue!

[WhiteGuy]

How much or OUR money do the morons in DC send to thse people?

Cut 'em off.

[AbeKrieger]

Is it the white, oppressed minority committing these crimes... or, it must be the legacy of the white oppression that continues to cause these folks to act the way they do?

Knickers nicked at SA rape demo

 

Each pair of pants represented a child rape in South Africa

Underwear thieves undermined an anti-rape event organised by South Africa's Democratic Alliance on Monday.

The DA hung out 22,486 pairs of girl's underwear, representing the annual number of child rapes, in Cape Town's Bishop Lavis township.

The idea was to distribute the panties afterwards, but some members of the crowd rushed in and grabbed them before DA leader Tony Leon arrived.

The stunt was part of the annual 16 days of action against gender violence.

"The crowd jumped the gun because people were afraid that if they waited they would not get one," Mr Leon told The Star newspaper afterwards.

"This just highlights the desperation of people there - they wanted to make sure they got some panties."

Bishop Lavis is situated in Cape Town's poor and crime-ridden Cape Flats region.

Throughout South Africa, 55,000 rapes are reported each year and many more go unreported.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just a bit of a change from the original story's reference:

"The items of underwear - donated by various clothing manufacturers - were taken away by members of the local community after the event."

So, instead of 'taken away by members of the community after the event' read: "stolen before the event by selfish criminals, spoiling the organizer's efforts to bring attention to the rape of children"

I wonder if the New Orleans "Looter Guy"  was there?
