South Africa plans to ask Canada to review a ruling last week by an immigration board in Ottawa granting asylum to a white South African carnival worker who claimed that he was forced to flee his homeland after being attacked seven times because of the color of his skin.

**There is more to this story than first meets the eye. It sounds somewhat absurd at first glance, but after reading this... I just think it would be a fascinating story to investigate if there is truth behind it.**

    • South Africa is a hell hole NOW. It used to be a nice place. What is the world going to think when SA hosts the next FIFA World Cup?
      Of course he was being treated like crap in SA. The gov't there is a gang of criminals big time, mob rule.
      25% of South African men admit to being rapists. So its probably more like 50%,
