Some familiar names in Italy/Irish/Scots/Welsh side helping improve the Northern Hemisphere game. Personally I'd prefer to see them playing where their hearts are.

No. White empire builders and thieves completely fucked Africa. I know that Africans were complicit with all the slave shit and it was not just "us brits" but it seems obvious. Its probably feasible to fuck with people for a bit but fuck with them too much and it seems to me to be inevitable that at some stage they will fuck with you. with regard to the Cape, I think you have a simplistic view of history. The San were occupying the Cape area when the Dutch arrived. The Bantu et al only arrived there about the same time as the Europeans. and it was only later that the Zulu influence became strong. They migrated South with their cattle finally becoming a major force under Chaka in the 1840's (they in turn pushing the Bantu South) The San have almost totally disappeared, forced out by the Dutch and the Bantu into then German West Africa where they were frequently hunted. I have not studied the history in detail only in passing but I have read enough to know that the whole thing is far more complicated than present day politicians/activists would have us believe

i guess another pretty awful episode of violence and mayhem will ensue...innocent lives will be lost as a country seeks to right the wrongs of the past...there will never be peace.. I just tire of the endless bloodshed.

The thing is, few here know much about South Africa, and few have been there. I have. When the football was on. Didn't watch any though.
