Soweto
Sir,—l thought I had made it quite clear in my letter of September 15 that there was no luck attached to entering and driving around Soweto, therefore Bishop Tutu’s statement was quite untrue. When he has made flagrantly untrue statements such as this, what guarantee have we that anything he said was factual? I cannot imagine why H. I. Hopkins wants to know, but the “we” he is curious about was, in Soweto, a friend from Johannesburg, and for the rest of the trip, my wife. If H. I. Hopkins genuinely wants to know more about South Africa, he is welcome to telephone me, but if he is interested only in detrimental reports, as are so many other people, he may as well not bother.—Yours, etc ’ L. R. WILKINSON. September 21, 1983.
