“I think it’s something really important - not only for our country, but I think it’s a very global thing. So it would be nice for this country to move in a more eco-friendly direction,” she said. Her friend, fellow student Cayley-Jayne Corder, said there should be a greater focus on social cohesion as SA is such a diverse country.

Corder said mental health is often stigmatised and overlooked. “We are so desensitised to everything,” she added.

One queue ‘for whites’, another ‘for blacks’ in Wellington was not racist, says IECCourtney Sampson says officials separated voters according to their registration status and not their race. So who was complaining? The blacks about the white queue or the whites about the black queue? So then who is being racist? The people in the queue or the people allocating the queues? This is an excuse to blatant racism, how come only black people or white people do the same thing? This is rubbish How long are you going to protect racism guys, just how long and how far are you going to sustain it. This is utter nonsense and a disgrace .Tomorrow the very same Iec will complain that Blf or Eff are racist, forgetting that they are the main perpetrators.
