How well respected is Lucas Radebe over there? Are you aware that the rock band Kaiser Chiefs are named so because of Lucas?

Cape Town is a beautiful city but if you are black it’s not the best place to be. A lot of black professionals are leaving because of discrimination in the workplace. They say that restaurants are also the same, but this is what I hear from people I know from there so it might not be the full picture.

That makes sense.

My boy who lives there is actually Afrikaan (sp) so he might not experience the same as actual blacks there. I hope I spelled that correctly. But he considers himself black tho. He and I worked on a project together in London and we've been cool since.
