Education and South Africa
Sir,—Graham Langton (March 24) is typical of people who make judgmental statements on South Africa based on biased newspaper reports and propaganda from HART arid C.AR.E. These people are critical of a country they have never been to, and are not prepared to visit. Are they afraid of having their opinions, based on sensationalistic media reports, changed by observing the actual situation in South Africa? Changes are taking place in this country to give non-whites a better deal, but rather than hearing about these, we continue to read about the supposed injustices occurring in South Africa and of continuing condemnation of the country. Nowhere else in Africa do blacks have better living conditions than in South Africa but the famine and poverty of most of the rest of Africa is all right because whites are not successfully running those countries. Why are people so ready to condemn‘South Africa and yet reluctant to help those in need?—Yours, etc., G. R. GORDON. March 24, 1981.
