It is good that Mr Mbeki made the apology, but it is still shocking , verry shocking, such actions could not come from SA people. just some 15 years ago SA people were all over africa. mainly( Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia,CongoDR Namibia, Angola, Swaziland and lesotho.we accomodated them, cryied with them, had compassion on them.and seeing that they easily forgot all that ,it disappointing. may the souls of those gone rest in peace.
Thanks for the apologies by SA. We will start the process of healing and may those who committed this evil against their brothers and sisters get rehabilitation and prayers beacause they were instigated by Satan. Condolesence to the bereaved families. NOW, let's get on with preparations for the Soccer WC 2010. I want to come. I am actually looking for flags of my favourite Teams.
We welcome President Mbeki's apology and we hope the people of South Africa will never allow this shame to come upon them again. The Continent of Africa, more than any other place in the world, needs unity, peace and harmony for its development. It is never too late to change the course of events.
