Dalai Lama cancels SA trip over visa delay

[SlowInternet]

Guaranteed these bastards are now going to turn around and say that the gov did not deny the VISA, but that Dalai Lama canceled his request before they could successfully process it. Thereby once again, dodging responsibilities.

"Our government is worse than the apartheid government, because at least you were expecting it from the apartheid government," he said in a news conference on the government's failure to grant Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama a visa.

"We were expecting we would have a government that was sensitive to sentiments of our Constitution," Tutu said.

"The trouble is that the ANC on the whole reckons that the freedom that we enjoy is due to them. They reckon everyone else is just a sideline."

Tutu, who shouted and shook his finger as he spoke, said President Jacob Zuma did not represent him.

"Hey Mr Zuma, you and your government don't represent me. You represent your own interests.

"I am warning you out of love. I am warning you like I warned the nationalists that one day we will start praying for the defeat of the ANC government. You are disgraceful."

He dared speak out against a white man.

That is not going against the stream, in fact it is a national hobby lately.
