    The road to becoming the
    remarkable “Rainbow
    Nation” that it is, was
    fraught 300 years of
    prejudice and degradation;
    but South Africa is now
    not only a model African
    nation but a model to the
    world – Black majority
    rule, but with Blacks,
    Whites & Coloureds living
    together jointly fighting
    the new apartheid –
    HIV/AIDS.
