Xenophobia likely involved

THANKS to Oscar "Pistolorius", Alex Crawford of Sky News is hanging around in South Africa – and telling us all the news we usually manage to miss out on over here. News like the latest SA Police Service brutality against a Mozambican taxi driver.

Why are people surprised by the SAPS? Dare one use a now popular word – used liberally towards other countries – and hiss "apartheid" and "xenophobia"?

Perhaps the United Nations should institute sanctions against South Africa. There are few things as ugly as hypocrisy.
