Great find raoul.

"What a waste of four young men. They should have jobs."

She said that in her opinion more police were not the answer to South Africa's violent crimes.

"There are young people in poverty without opportunities. South Africa needs a huge jobs programme... that will prevent youth from turning to crime," she said.

Gordimer was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1991.

Several of her novels, which include The Conservationist and July's People, were banned under South Africa's apartheid regime.


This is why people like FW, and Mandela, and Gordimer win the Nobel Prize - which Mbeki never will.

Can't say I agree with this, it may be true in an economic sense but not having a job in no way justifies violence.
