From the page: "You must agree that the ANC really do know how to run a colourful election. In one single week, they managed to demolish a peace conference by forcing Nelson Mandela, FW de Klerk and Desmond Tutu to withdraw from the event. The reason for their withdrawal was that the Dalai Lama had been refused entry to South Africa. The Tibetan spiritual leader was coming here to attend the conference, which was cancelled as a result of the fiasco. Naturally, 'onse meisie' Charlize Theron, who was due to chair the event, also pulled out. The ruling party really does know how to clear a room, fast."
