As South Africans I think we need to be worried about how we are always perceived as people who think/behave as americans/europians. Akon indirectly said we tend to be the last ones to notice things happening in Africa due to our behavior.

You guys are what the next generation must study. Against all adversity, Mac , you soldiered on and gave us a place to congregate in twice a week. Your passion has taken you to places you didn’t think you’d be in such a short time, yes eventually you would have been, but in God speed it happened. Keep keeping on my brother, you are truly inspirational. I single you out because of what you endured and openly put others on.
