And I just wanted to move to South Africa.
I have recently moved FROM South Africa. As much as I love the country, it is in steep decline on almost every level!
This is a sad day for South Africa.
Well WHY did they fail to issue him a visa ? Was it an oversight or a slight ? Pretty important piece of info to NOT include.
SA was obviously bought off by you know who. Wonder what the price tag was.
Yeah, must have been an oversight...How do you spell that name again sir?
Any chance they might be trying to appease China?
This is what happens when CNN wants to be first to run a story, even if they don't have the story yet.
Blame China
What passport does Dalai Lama have?
A Tibetan passport
Wow! White rule,black rule, lets face it they are all no damn good. So much for peace and love.
I got a visa application in the mail.
Oh South Africa! A nation who has given the world such a Champion of peace & freedom – the great "Nelson Mandela", how can thee fail the world by closing your doors to His Holiness and thereby bowing to the very "forces" you once fought to be rid off. Indeed a sad day in the history of South Africa!!!
