Writing for change is something privileged Capetonians reject if it doesn't suit them. This includes Coloured clergy, who in 2005, intoxicated by unholy spirits, united with rightwing politicians to complete their political project of moving Coloured people to the right of the political spectrum.
Coloured tribalism is a belief in the superiority of Coloured people over Blacks in Cape Town and the Western Cape indeed throughout South Africa. Coloured tribalism consists of apartheid social engineering theory and ideology on race. Coloured tribalism, together with studies of other tribalisms in the country's other regions, needs to be studied, and its nature understood in order to deal effectively, from an informed point of view, with the future of the Western Cape and race relations there. Coloured tribalism should be separated from genuine coloured concerns which are the same as every Black person's concerns in South Africa. This is not an ANC-Western Cape issue its an issue for individuals who feel the pressure of Coloured tribalism in their everyday life. Once Coloured tribalism has been dealt with, it will cease to be a "buffer" for white superiority and normalisation of race relations will be well on its way.

Africans, around the world, continue to moan, rightfully or wrongly that they are either unfairly treated by the Western media or simply ignored. Certainly, the principle of access to fair representation in the media should be universally recognized, particularly when production and reproduction of negative representations violates the dignity of a people.
