Seems a bit bizarre. Doesn't everyone get repeatedly stabbed in South Africa, irrespective or colour? Its a clever bit of ingenuity to have a punt on it though. Good on him. I wouldn't fancy living there either.

I would imagine you're far more likely to get stabbed in South Africa if you're black.

"There's a hatred of what we did to them and it's all about the colour of your skin," Huntley reportedly said.

I thought it traditional for racist refugees to go to South America rather than North America ? Certainly Nazis fleeing persecution for 'what they did to them' found countries such as Argentina and Paraguay very welcoming.

The guy's 31, he was 16ish when Mandela became president. He's not Adolf Eichmann!

I dread to imagine what on earth his life is like that he's been stabbed 4 times and attacked another 3 by "racists", but there must be literally dozens of people in this country who have suffered racist violence repeatedly. The grant of asylum is pretty provocative.

the South African government are dishing out the 'racism' card quite freely at the moment what with the Canadian government and the Semenya thing. Are they racist acts or is the S. frican governemnt just a little sensitive (understandably so but I am sure it does no one any favours accusing people of racism)
