SO, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SA?

Oct 4, 2011: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, visibly shaking with anger, compared the South African government unfavourably with the apartheid regime and threatened to pray for the downfall of the African National Congress (ANC) yesterday after the Dalai Lama said he was forced to pull out of Tutu's 80th birthday celebrations because he had not been granted an entry visa.
"Our government is worse than the apartheid government because at least you would expect it with the apartheid government," Tutu told a press conference in Cape Town. "Our government we expect to be sensitive to the sentiments of our constitution." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/04/tutu-attacks-anc-dalai-lama-visa?...
In a tirade that stunned South African journalists, he went on: "Let the ANC know they have a large majority. Well, Mubarak had a large majority, Gaddafi had a large majority. I am warning you: watch out. Watch out.
"Our government -- representing me! -- says it will not support Tibetans being viciously oppressed by China. You, president Zuma and your government, do not represent me. I am warning you, as I warned the [pro-apartheid] nationalists, one day we will pray for the defeat of the ANC government."
Tutu had invited his fellow Nobel peace laureate to deliver a lecture to mark his milestone birthday in Cape Town on Friday. Officials from the archbishop emeritus's office started the visa application processin June but met a series of bureaucratic delays.
On Tuesday the Dalai Lama's office finally gave up on the application for the 76-year-old. "His holiness was to depart for South Africa on 6 October, but visas have not been granted yet," a spokesperson for the office said. "We are, therefore, now convinced that, for whatever reason or reasons, the South African government finds it inconvenient to issue a visa to ... the Dalai Lama."
Tutu said he was still struggling to make sense of what had happened. "I have to say I can't believe it, I really can't believe it," he exclaimed. "Wake me up and tell me this is actually happening here. It's quite unbelievable. The discourtesy they have shown to the Dalai Lama.



While the world has been both vocally and financially supportive of a peaceful transition to a democratic South Africa, it is with dismay that we report that despite stated and rewarded commitment to reconciliation, the South African European Minority (SAEM) has been the subject of sustained brutal physical, cultural and economic reprisals for nearly 20 years. We trust in the integrity of people's values to oppose this assault on the SAEM with the same vigilance with which they supported a peaceful transition.

On a recent fact finding mission to South Africa, Dr Stanton, President of Genocide Watch, determined that urgent intervention is required and undertook to establish a Commission of Inquiry to investigate and take action. Dr Gregory H. Stanton is globally recognized and legendary for his contribution in the area of genocide studies.
