The readers commenst are just as interesting

MJ - How can you say I am giving South Africa bad publicity when all I am doing is publishing what is mostly available on your News sites? Maybe the ANC should close down the Newsites or have them publish Marxist dogma only.
It must be difficult for you to live in a Democracy when you dont understand the meaning of the word.

Did you read this comment? (With regards to all the attacks on Table Mountain.)

"I am a guide in Cape Town and nobody on any of our tours has seen a mugger. The well worn tourist areas are NOT where they operate. They are on the lookout for easy pickings, and if you are in a group, you are relatively safe. They attack mainly individuals and pairs on more remote tracks. There are remote areas of Central Park in New York that you can also get mugged in. While I agree it IS a conern, it is not cause for panic and there are now a lot of pressure groups demanding more & better action, like armed rangers disguised as elderly, frail hikers, ready to turn the tables on any thug.
The cablecar area is totally safe - but you might be lucky enough to see a snake - from muggers because it is always busy.

Peter Sumner, Cape Town, South Africa"

I had a chuckle after his cable car statement, but seriously, this is why South Africans have to take to task many in the tourist industry, this is irresponsible, this belief that crime only happens in certain areas/situations and that certain things are "totally safe", anyone who knows/has experienced crime knows that to not be true.

dearest Alf, that is exactly what we were trying to tell the majority for the past two weeks, the repercussions of the ANC, however their thick skin refuses to believe or accept responsibility, like the ANC....have you noticed what a dive the rand has gone lately against international currencies.....

What about the bad publicity you bring on South Africa and you are not even a South African?

Another, my aunty from the Rhodesian Ruins phoned us last week Friday.
She basically phoned to have a chuckle and to let us know that the Zimbabwean Broadcasting Commission (ZBC) had aired a report on Thursday night regarding the blackouts in South Africa and that they were basically taunting Mbeki and making a mockery of the ANC, she had a good laugh....
Can it get any worse?
