Traditional Leaders? More like mumbo jumbo nonsense. Do they think we still live in the trees? I'm a South African, and right now damned ashamed of being one. I hope to God that the SPCA goes head-to-head with FIFA and these 'traditional leaders'. If this happens I think I will leave this country, by any means possible. I have been a wtness to 'ritual' slaughter at African weddings. This ritual sacrifice for a ball game is just as heinous a crime. What is wrong with people????? Do they truly want to show their 'African' savageness and ignorance to the world????? SICK SICK SICK SADISTS! I was an active ani-apartheid activists. Is this what I fought for - to be labeled as an ignorant savage????? NO, a million times no!
