I just rummaged through some old school junk and found what the South
African Embassy sent me when I inquired about their country, some time
ago. What I received could only be called a mass of propaganda,
including: 2 inches of large pamphlets, numerous maps, a poster, and
even a full-color hard bound book on South Africa. After looking
through all the materials, an observer might conclude that roughly only
1 percent of the country was black.

In the beginning there was Eden and perhaps
Eden was here in Southern Africa and the animals
grazed and drank and enacted a game--and the game
was Peace. The rules were set then in time long
ago--no greed, no hate, no jealousy. Now do not
confuse peace with gentleness. This is not
Nature's way. Each had to eat to live and some
had to kill to eat and so the creatures spread
where they must and each lived where he must and
ate--alas--what he must; but over them all, like
a blessing was Peace. From desert to lakeside
through thornbush and scrub the animals roam, and
so their life will be unchanging as long as we
can keep it so.
