"We have a saying in my country"

Just after posting the last entry, I caught an item on the radio news where a South African journalist was commenting on Dubya's flying visit

"There is a Xhosa saying - 'he could just have made a telephone call'" - implying that he only came to talk, not to do anything.

But it's nice to see that the modern world isn't erasing all the old traditions of their culture.
