GUEST,Hans BS: Zimbabwe 'elections' (165* d) RE: BS: Zimbabwe 'elections' 27 Jun 08


Thanks Lox. I lived in the Northern suburbs, Regions 2. Beautiful place but the level of crime around the city is terrible.

Personally I can never see integration and reconciliation in South Africa. Despite any of you wanting to hear it,the truth that tribal hatred is the cancer that ravages through this beautiful country. The way in which they deal with each other is horrific. Machete law and car tyres filled with petrol placed around sometimes neck is reality. Tribal leaders have a powerful influence on the way people think, talk and behave. Constructions of "race" and "racial" or ethnic identity are complex and tend to be rooted in notions of "natural" cultural difference. Land and access to land further complicate this fault line, thus becoming a critical potential source of tension.

The detonation of this disastrous time bomb has happened, believe me.
The majority of people in this country, who have tasted the bitter pill of violence still hope and expect decisive steps and programmes to end it, sadly it will never come.

I would like to add, there is racism among coloureds in South African among each other. It's not just black and white.
