SOUTH AFRICA RACISM HORROR!!!! White students urinate on food and give it to black people!!!! SHOCKING VIDEO

http://play.24.com/VideoShow.aspx?cid=e580623d-529f-4491-8088-822b2879d50e

bombshell hit the University of the Free State (UFS) on Tuesday when a video was distributed showing five black cleaners at a traditionally white men’s residence on the campus being “initiated”.

Amid loud laughter, they are shown taking part in races, downing beers and drinking a mixture in which a student had secretly urinated.

Hundreds of furious black students gathered on the lawn next to the campus library on Tuesday afternoon, demanding an explanation and singing protest songs.

Student leaders managed to persuade them to delay a protest march until Wednesday morning.

Screaming students condemned the scenes on the video and waved placards with messages such as “Enough is enough”.

Speaking to Volksblad at the spontaneous campus protest, a student said: “We’re furious. The problems at the campus have now escalated, and become a full-blown human-rights issue.”

The video was apparently recorded by students at the Reitz men’s residence last September.

Given mixture to drink

The narration on the video begins: “Once upon a time the ‘boere’ lived peacefully here on Reitz Island, until one day when the less-advantaged discovered the word ‘integration’ in the dictionary.”

The cleaners take part in a “boat race” (a beer-downing competition), a dance, a sprint race, a mock rugby practice and finally, they’re given a mixture to drink.

The video shows garlic being put into a dish full of what looks like dog food.

“We know they’re less privileged so we’re adding a bit of meat,” says the narrator.

Another student puts the bowl on the toilet and urinates into the mixture.

The brew is then distributed in plastic glasses to the cleaners.

All five of them spit out the first mouthful, but try to finish it amid loud encouragement from the students.

The video ends with the words: “That, at the end of the day, is what we think of integration.”

This is followed by one of the students asking a cleaner: “What does ’sefebe’ mean in Afrikaans?”

“A black whore,” she replies.

This is just a Sad reality which shows that South africa is among if not the most racist country of the world!!!

Blues, JAzz and Roots Festival 15th March'08


Get a little taste of entertainment at the inaugural Blues, Jazz and Roots Concert in conclusion of the first season of the Old Mutual Encounters Summer Concerts on the 15 March 2008.

The month of March continues to give way to yet another show. The Blues, Jazz and Roots concert is one of the many entertaining concerts South Africans will take pleasure in seeing. This event will take you back to the beginning of Jazz and Blues in South Africa, and if you are a novice then you will be getting a radiant overture to the life of its compositions. Held at Emmarentia Dam, Johannesburg Botanic Garden on the 15th of March as part of the Old Mutual Encounters Summer Concerts Series, the concept behind this event captures an array of new, modern and traditional takes on Jazz and Blues, with local acts ranging from Valiant and Ollie, Tidal Waves, Radio Kalahari Orkes, Robin Auld, Dan Patlansky, Syd Kitchen, Madala Kunene and Jim Neversink who will play host to the day.

To add to this occasion, Michelle Shocked, one of the most powerful musicians who has travelled across the globe to release more albums than any of her fellow musicians in her field, is heading back to South Africa. After two years, she brings back her own unique style and sense of originality within her artistry as a musician combining the right amount of soulfulness with just enough blues, rock ‘n roll and gospel music. Critics have assured her music as being playfully profound and that her most recent release ‘ToHeavenURide' was heavensent, at the same time elevating a sense of humour, irony and symmetry. Hers is music that overflows with jazz and blues roots, one can even hear a bit of the New Orleans brass influence in her music.

Tickets are already on sale at www.oppikoppi.co.za, www.ticketconnection.co.za, and all Mr Price stores and at the gate. Gates are open from 10am to 10pm.

Ticket prices range from R100 for adults, R50 for scholars and children under the age of 12 years are free.

There will also be a children's arena, which includes jumping castles, clowns and many other attractions, where parents can leave their children under supervision while enjoying this events entertainers.

Channel O Launches ‘Skika'


East African beats, East African lyrics and East African rhythm… That's what Channel O is going to deliver to DStv audiences from March 10 when it's brand-new, first-ever, dedicated East African music series Skika: Be Heard begins!

Running for 13 weeks, Skika is hosted by Kenyan personality Aimee Ongeso and was created for Channel O by Nairobi-based production house Mondeas, in collaboration with two other local production companies, Quite Bright Films and Mwafrika Entertainment.

Showcasing the East African entertainment scene, Skika will focus on the region's vibrant youth culture while shining a spotlight onto its emerging and established stars. Featuring three music videos in each episode, along with a news segment and behind-the-scenes footage, Skikais structured to entertain and inform its audiences.

Channel O General Manager Yolisa Phahle says that Skika is set to give audiences across Africa the opportunity to take a closer look at East African talent and creativity.

“Channel O was born in Africa and for over a decade, it has profiled the continent's artists, provided a platform for African music and supported African success. We're very proud that we are able to serve as a community meeting place for African music fans and we intend to continue creating new programming that will keep audiences tuned in. With Skika, we're taking another step forward, one that we believe our audiences will directly benefit from. East Africa has a vibrant music legacy and dynamic future. We believe that our audiences want to see this, understand it and celebrate it.”

With the each episode of Skika themed, the show features a wide variety of music guests. In the episode titled 'Freedom of Expression', fans can look out for Majimaji, Eric Wainaina, DNG and Die Hard. In the Ghetto episode, musicians Girongi, Ojiji, Rastaman, Wakamba Wawili and Wenyeji make appearances whilst in Old VS New, its Zippi, Yunasi, Sauti, Longombas, Grandmaster Masese and Chizi who are featured. And in the SHENG episode, viewers tuning in will see Chiwawa, Dream, MC Kah and Muki Garang. And that's just four episodes! So all-in-all, Skika is set to be packed with guests, local musicians, videos, interviews and more.

Excited about the launch of Skika, Mondeas Director Rand Pearson says, “This project highlights the commitment we all have towards the development of quality local content. It's a content revolution in Kenya and we're proud to be a part of it.”

Meanwhile, though Skika is the first East African dedicated series on Channel O, East African musicians have had a long association with the channel. Several performers from the region have taken home Channel O Spirit of Africa Awards and last year's winner roster included Nameless (Kenya), Peter Miles (Uganda) and Juma Nature (Tanzania).

In addition, Channel O's popular reality series Dance Africa and Emcee Africa have all made stops in East Africa whilst its continental music series Urban Massive also visited Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in 2006. Further Channel O was a sponsor at Kenya's Kisima Awards in 2006. And late last year, two lucky competition winners from Kenya and Tanzania jetted into Johannesburg for the Mary J. Blige concert, courtesy of Channel O.
