yes - this government, whose people fought so hard to gain freedom and a rickety democracy has told the Dalai Lama that he will not get a visa to visit south africa for the peace conference. This goverment that is quick to speak out about how their people were denied human rights 15 years ago is backing China and it suppression of Tibet.
The peace conference that was to be held here has been post poned because of the idiots that run this country
If the Dali lama can`t use his "Visa",then he should try his "American Express"..South Africa should take a "Visa" it is a major credit card!................................LOL!!...OUTLAW
This is a total disgrace. In response as to why the Dalai Lama was refused a visa a government spokesperson said it was because he would distract us from the 2010 world cup. WTF!!! Do they think we are stupid or something?
However, they allow a person like Robert Mugabe into this country!
Ridiculous. This is a typical case of the Chinese government squeezing the SA government's crown jewels.

Does it only take a generation to forget the struggle?
jakes - we know who are the stupid ones...following along that line - can't wait for April 22 - Going to be my first time voting!
wha happened - would seem not even a generation - a mere 15 years. People are sick and tired of feeble government excuses. I applaud Americans of colour that have said (in my reading of the elections) that they no longer had excuses to fall back on, they cannot say that they are no longer represented, they can no longer say they do not have the opportunities available to them. South Africa has had a black president/government for the past 15 years - the first 4 were great - Mandela was a great leader and had the same outlook. Since then the excuses have grown and grown, corruption is at its highest.
Our next president (as it is more than likely Zuma will win) has been charged with over 700 counts of fraud and corruption. Rape. This is the man that will take us forward.
Crime has never been so rampent. Not just any crime - violent and nausiating headlines 'grace' our newspapers every single day.
yes - our government snubs those that want to do some good and are quite happy to have human rights violated - as long as they have something to line their back pocket though.
