Tragic South Africa, Where Your Running Shoes Are Worth More Than Your Life

Tragic South Africa, Where Your Running Shoes Are Worth More Than Your Life


How do I end this?

I'm not sure how to end this really...



It's a combination of frustration, heartache and desperation. How can we, as a country, expect to enter the international arena - on any level - when what we offer visitors to our country is violent crime, theft, robbery and murder?

What have any of these people who fall prey to the thugs that inhabit - and yes those that rule - the country, done to deserve to have their emotional and physical freedom threatened and compromised?

Here we have a 22 year-old young man. His dream of becoming an international star rests on his performances in races in South Africa. His training is rigorous and steadfast. We all conform to the program. We all become aware of the needs of one another. This man has talent. He is an exceptional young athlete.

With nurturing and encouragement he can realize his dreams. With professional guidance and support from his manager, Craig, he WILL realize his dreams.
