MANDELA WORSHIP... - Biased BBC

MANDELA WORSHIP...: "I am sure you will have encountered the Mandela worship on the BBC today. It is 20 years since Nelson Mandela was released from captivity and the excitement at the BBC has been palpable. However I believe the coverage has been very one dimensional and has stayed away from asking any of the tough questions lest the halo around Saint Nelson be dented. 20 years on, we have the corrupt ANC regime rather than the corrupt Apartheid regime. Yes, some of Mandela's cronies have grown rich during this period but for the majority of South African people, there is still unrelenting poverty, widespread crime and rampant disease. How is this an improvement? Furthermore, I see the football loving Winnie Mandela is now fully rehabilitated and the BBC is again portraying this wicked woman in the 'mother of the nation' mode it initially used before the unfortunate Stompie Seipei incident made that impossible. Can you imagine what the coverage of his death will be like? We're all ANC now. (And to hell with the victims of their terrorism)
