South Africa - Greetings lead to ire
Print Edition
It’s the season to be jolly — jolly critical, that is — in the South African city of Cape Town. The mayor, Patricia de Lille, has been criticized by political opponents for encouraging people to mark the season by writing personal messages to Nelson Mandela, the former South African president. The city is collecting the messages at a civic center exhibition honoring 95-year-old Mandela, who is critically ill, and plans to deliver them to the anti-apartheid leader.
A labor group with links to the ruling African National Congress, which Mandela used to lead, said de Lille is trying to help her party, the opposition Democratic Alliance, by associating it with the revered Mandela.
