3. "You reap what you say".
Edited on Sat Apr-03-10 07:00 PM by tabatha
The right wing in the country were/are about as bad as the KKK here. Simply frightening and very authoritarian.

One of the comments:

"I will never forget hearing - and seeing - Terre'blanche speak in the Pietermaritzburg City Hall. I went along to see what all the fuss was about, and found a scene straight out of a Nazi propaganda movie, with enormous banners bearing the AWB swastika, and jack-booted 'soldiers' standing to either side of the podium. When Terre'blanche started speaking, the audience reacted strongly and it took me a moment before I realised they weren't jeering at him, as I expected, but were eating out of the palm of his hand! Of course the AWB were a political throwback, but there were plenty of white South Africans who supported his brand of xenophobia. Thank God he fell off that damn horse, or he may actually have influenced our political landscape, instead of simply adding colour to it."
