Remember the recent Olympics where the host country did everything to make sure that that country was globally viewed as a 'clean' country? Politicians, and in SA terms that also means sports administrators, Makhenkesi Stofile, Butana Khompela? rings the bell? thought so. Our politicians unfortunately have this pathetic thinking of making temporary arangements, even towards serious issues such as crime. The world cup and even the Confed cup, will have some very serious security, a temporary arangement of course as afterwards we will be back to normal, and by normal I mean the normal people like you and me will be back to our victim selves. It is really sad that our country treats its citizens this way. It's like this actually, when visitors come to your home you start seeing strange behaviours, superficial most of the times. Are we going to be required to wear strange clothes in some cities, and do certain things for the visitors, like in that country that hosted the last Olympics?
