Thank you very much Charles and Marje for your supportive comments. It's very sad Charles to learn that those attitudes still pertain in SA. How can people be so insulting and cruel to fellow human beings? It's no wonder really that there is so much violence from the townships, I should think the people have had enough oppression and injustice.
Marje, I'm thrilled to learn of the Afro-Irish link in music by the Afro Celt Sound System. I'm half Irish, as my mother was from Cork. I'll be looking into that over the weekend!
