Orlando Pirates chairman, Irvin Khoza, has apologized for his use of the "K" word at a press conference 2weeks ago. His words: "Stop thinking like a kaffir because you are contriving and misleading about something that is not there" were directed at a black journalist. He was given a week to apologize by the HRC (Human Rights Commission). Khoza has done exactly that by saying that the recent racist video in the UFS has promted him to apologize. He said:"I humbly submit to all South Africans that at no stage did I intend to open the wounds and hurt our people who suffered from racism"...Well, Mr. Khoza, you made the right choice by apologizing in good time and by being the bigger person on this one. South Africans hope that it does not happen again because a man in of your statue can not be saying such demeaning things..TO A JOURNALIST NOGAL?
Reports say that this was Khoza's second apology for his use of the word and he humbled himself to repeat the apology..OK Mr. Khoza, you almost scored an own goal on this one but you redeemed yourself well..!

Apology accepted, yes. But the incident still says something of where our country is at. We are starting to see black on black discrimination. This is a new form of discrimination that is soon to take over this country and its based on ethnicity, economic and educatational background...watch this space!
