”It’s
a small group of people who have unfortunately damaged the reputation
of south Africa… but at the same time it’s moments like this that have
to make us sit back and assess our position in the continent and how
involved we are with our brothers and sisters.” ”We love our African

North. It’s just unfortunate.’
