A crosstitute from the Apartheid era in the running. Enough that we have them in the Security Dept now for Climate :(
How come India/Pak always have to have someone? The clique keeps the gravy train going. Wonder how much money India/pakistan/Sri Lanka/the east Europeans give and yet they want all the best jobs so that they can bring in their countrymen.The other African and South American countries can't even get intership positions.
