He is right to not accept any more awards, his award cabinet should be full by now. I do not really understand this Freedom of the City of Pretoria award though. What are the pre-requisites to be awarded? Mandela is a national icon, not a Pretoria icon. Would it be wise if all the cities and towns in SA awarded Mandela a "Freedom of the City" award? People should stop using Mandela to push their own agenda. Hope Miss Major got what she wanted, "THE WOMAN WHO MADE MANDELA BREAK HIS PROMISE", nice title for an autobiography!!

2 men walk out of a cave 20,000 years ago... one white, one black. One goes on to build cities, create marvels of Architecture, write literature, paint masterpieces, sculpt statutes, advance medical science, land on the moon etc... the other goes on to rape, pillage and kill each other. We were equal when when we walked out of the cave, its not fault your're savages.

Do you not have your own self achievements that you have to rely on your 'race.' This racial superiority is getting old now. Believe me, I know people like you who get below 40% at school. It's embarassing, so they have to sing this 'We the White race created da da da da...' tune. It's sad especially when they see that I'm in the to 20 and they are failing. And it is very immature to paint a whole race with one paintbrush as I know really good Black men and some really dodgy White guys.

S.A is for all, of course you people don't understand that. Man you South Africans are the most intolerable people in the whole of Africa. I'm ashamed to be South African by birthright.

I knew you could not be of Dutch extraction because the Dutch are fairly tolerant but you are definitely of German extraction that is why your so arrogant.

You obviously don't know much at all about the Afrikaner. The Cape was under Dutch control for most of the time, but the Genoproject found that the average Afrikaner's genetic make up is 64% German.

The assumption to think we mostly Dutch is therefore easy to make, as the Cape was a Dutch colony. We do have a lot of Dutch, but the majority is German, followed by Dutch and then French.

What's so exceptional about an old convicted terrorist breaking a promise?
