Why, how could this be that the murder (or “killing” as it was reported) received so little press attention? I’d think that surely if Winnie Mandela had been murdered sorry, killed, the international press would be all over this story. It couldn’t possibly be that there’s a double standard? Could it???

Wait, I know, maybe it’s because from 1948 through 1994, there were 21,000 murders in South Africa. Since Comrades Nelson, Winnie and Mbeki took over in late 1994, there have been 176,000 murders. I guess a brutal murder in South Africa just isn’t news anymore.

South Africa needs a leader. Someone who could make its black population realize the impression they are sending to the rest of the world. Blacks should have worked hard to make the country better, under their rule, than it was under white. Instead, they give the idea that without whites, keeping them in line, they act worse than animals. They had the perfect opportunity to prove whites were wrong, and they flushed it; just like African Americans did with desegregation.
