Diplomats son's teaching Britons the South African way of life....

Britain sends SA diplomat packing

 

[supersunbird]

Yeah, he is poor boy living in squaler and thus he must steal to survive...

NOT!!!!

 

[xtermin8or]

seems like typical rebellion of spoilt rich kids, much like the Waterkloof four

 

[kingrob]

Just showing their true colors and another embarrassment for our country.

They are now going to steal right here in good 'ol SA...without the police catching them of course.

Lock the youth up for a good 5 years so he'll have a massive disadvantage for the rest of his life.

 

[scatlett]

yep, its all that poverty he has to endure....

 

[kingrob]

''I'ts all APARTHEID's fault, that's why they became criminals!''

*Most probably what the 'diplomat' will tell the SA press & his comrades.

 

[TonyA]

Well they were due to return in 2007 so were probably just keeping in date!

However, according to sources at the South African high commission in London, British authorities asked the South African government last year to send home the diplomat's elder son, aged 17, after police caught him and some of his friends allegedly holding up a youth at knifepoint and robbing him of his MP3 player.

These sources said that this year the diplomat's family fell foul of the law again when British police sought his second son, 15, who had been caught at school with a spray gun.

Sounds like a very troubled and dysfunctional family to me.

This time the diplomat flew back to South Africa with his son before police could question him.

When the diplomat returned from South Africa, British authorities asked the South African government to recall him for this alleged attempt to defeat the ends of justice, these sources said. ...

There's NO excuse for this kind of behaviour from a South African diplomat. Pity the local Sunday Times didn't pick up on the story.

Booted SA diplomat not under investigation

Department of foreign affairs answer:

Mamoepa said that the diplomat was still "in good standing before the eyes of foreign affairs."

Sources close to the diplomat said he was "utterly devastated because he had been looking forward to returning to South Africa only at the end of 2007 when the term of his boss, Mabuza, also expires".

The diplomat was really enjoying life outside SA!

Some London high commission staff, however, seemed relieved at the diplomat's departure.

They alleged he had shown a dictatorial style in his dealings with staff, so much so that he had acquired the nickname "Mugabe".

Geez, not the best nickname to have, even if some want things to go that way.

Just heard a Diplomatic spokesman on the radio: "The SA diplomat left by mutual agreement...". + "The boy only committed a misdemeanour".

Robbery of a cellphone is a misdemeanour is it?

At knife point, don't forget that!

AFAIK even murder is a misdemeanor for a 15 year old

(dare I say except for america - where they put kids in jail - and to death?)

 

[Kimosabe]

Why did they let him leave the country? they should have arrested him at the airport and put his ass in jail.

'The diplomat' & his two pathetic looser kids fleed the country before the Metropolitan Police could arrest them.

This is actually the part that embarasses South Africa, and all of us, the most.

Is there any way we can embarrass ourself anymore after the whole beetroot incident in Canada ?

Minors, ie those under 18, are not longer executed in the states - it was deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court.
