I can’t help seeing the irony in the fact that the widow of the man who wrote the book “Cry The Beloved Country” decrying the evils of apartheid, high-tailed it back to England once post-apartheid society was in full swing. Her husband died too soon to feel the full benefit of the “brave new world” he so wanted to inflict on other whites there. I wonder if he’d be joining Jacob Zuma in a rousing chorus of “kill the white man, kill the Boer”?

The Leftist media has completely misled much of the world on what Apartheid was actually all about. It was not--not at all--what has been represented. (See comments in "Diversity" In Context: Reality vs. Leftist Fantasy.)

Frankly, I believe that Alan Paton's book was written before the Apartheid policy was even announced--although it might have been about the same time. (The policy, by the way, was never actually fully implemented. Some of what people were busy denouncing, would have been eliminated, had the policy been fully implemented.)
