Mandla Mandela’s hypocritical boycott call

MANDLA Mandela, in The Star of October 19, insists that South Africa should boycott the Miss Universe Pageant as it is being held in Israel this year.

Would he suggest a boycott of Morocco if the pageant took place there? After all, they occupy the Western Sahara illegally.

Would he suggest a boycott of China who have no right to Tibet?

Of course it is his Palestinian sympathies, to which he is entitled, that makes him suggest this boycott.

I wonder how he feels about the human rights abuses that are now playing out in Afghanistan.
