WHEN we think of South Africa, there are so many reasons to feel good about the rainbow nation that has given the world so much. Just think – where would we be without biltong or braais, without the phrases ‘see you now now’ or ‘the robots (traffic lights) are out of order’. What we cannot deny is that Saffers are a hospitable bunch, with diverse cultures and great pride in their country.
Having said that we also have the dubious honour of being at the butt end of some pretty awful moments in the last 10 years. Who could forget our fake sign interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service or Thamsanqa Jantjie, or Idols contestant Buhle Mkwanazi, singing ‘Killing me softly’ and dancing like a rabbit.
