South Africa celebrated the Human Rights day earlier this week. What happened there was very interesting and something disturbed my human rights consciousness. I unfortunately will not be airing my views on it as we are close to the local government elections and well- meaning comments can be easily construed as being party political. There it is, my confession that I am suppressing my human right to freedom of expression as enshrined in section sixteen of the Bill of Rights that is contained in our Constitution. I will nonetheless deal with a subject that is unlikely to affect the outcome of the upcoming elections, Libya. The uprisings in the Middle-East has caught the world spell-bound. For many people it has been the confirmation of the adage that the masses make the revolution. In all these uprisings there were no discernible political party hands. It was the people in all their hues and socio-economic standings. I guess all of us love the “underdog”. An interest
