The letter on racism mentioning certain countries that are exempt from visa applications warrants a response.
Racism is an affront to human dignity, a cause of hatred and division, and a disease that devastates society. Not withstanding, the efforts already expended for its elimination, racism continues to work its evil upon this planet.
The oneness of humanity is the pivot, which revolve all that harmonious relations in our rainbow nation stands for.
We fought a brutal conflict to end racism 20 years ago, let us not forget the price we paid for to end endemic racism. This remains largely unrealised because of the endemic racism that like cancer is eroding the vitals of this turbulent planet.
The ignorance and prejudice on which such efforts are founded have led to endless conflicts in the name of the sanctity of tribe, race, class, nation and religion.
