How I wish all comments in Sowetan were so sensitive, mature, and dignified as the first 6 I found. For a moment I doubted that I was in a Sowetan website.
The language one usually reads here, including moral values and antisocial tendencies, are more spine-chilling than these pictures! I am truly proud of the six comments who demonstrated to international visitors especially to our website that there is a lot of good and maturity in our readers below the sometimes over-exuberant ranting that has been a regrettable and embarrassing trademark of Sowetan and Sunday World.
