In Strailya mate...

In Strailya mate ...


An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having a beer.

All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces.. "In Seth Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice," he says.

The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says.

The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it, throws his glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African and the Kiwi. He turns to the astonished barman and says," In Strailya mate, we have so many bloody South Africans and  Kiwis that we don't need to drink out of the same glass twice.

 Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on the way home from a concert in Soweto on the eve of the World Cup, his office said.



The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zenani Mandela died in a one-car accident and no one else was injured. No other details on the crash were immediately available.



Zenani, who celebrated her 13th birthday June 9, was one of the anti-apartheid icon's nine great-grandchildren.



"The family has asked for privacy as they mourn this tragedy," the foundation said in a statement.

NZ Rugby Union has apologised to former NZ Maori representative players...



Maori players received apologies from NZRU and SARU for being excluded from tours to South Africa during the apartheid era



The New Zealand Rugby Union has issued an apology to Maori players who were excluded from South African tours during the apartheid era. This includes legendary All Blacks such as the late great George Nepia.



It follows a similar one from SARU president Regin Hoskins, who has said sorry to the men excluded from selection and for the offence it may have caused to the Maori community.



Hoskins says the acknowledgment of the mistakes of the rugby union's predecessors and the apology for the sport's culpability is another step in attempting to lift the shadow of apartheid. It is better late than never!
