The Fatima Meer Chat

That's lovely. He cooks supper for you after all these years. Wonderful! Someday, you must write about your lives together. A memoir is called for, don't you think? And please, let that not be one of the two questions.

Dr Fatima Meer: PLEASEEEEEEE ANSWER MY QUESTION?

Dieter Ludwig..yes i am ..where r u from?

Thank you, Madam, for chatting with us this night. May God take care of you.

Bonn.

Dieter: I don't think in that matter I hope. We cannot afford the Terreblanches and the kind of violence that we have gone through in the last decade or so. We hope and pray for peace throughout the world. We were intended by the almighty to live in peace and harmony

Do you think it is right to deify someone? Isn't is better to look up to someone as a great human being (Mandela) instead of elevating him to a god like status (Gandhi)?

of course yes dieter ludwig

Does that mean Krish Mackerdhuj has been unable to get blacks into the cricket team? That's an interesting point to make because Jonty Rhodes was on this Chat last week and he say blacks would be in the team only in five or ten years.

Dr Fatima Meer: Please answer my question?

What are the standards of honesty in the ANC administration? I ask because sometime back you spoke of Cyril Ramphoosa being big business. What are the levels of probity in the Mandela administration?

Hi

The challenges to Mbeki or Ramphoosa or however succeeds Mandela will come from the townships, racial intolerance and, of course, the fear that dominates all African societies. As an outsider, I am pessimistic about the future of your country. Is there a basis for the optimism you have demonstrated so eloquently on this Chat?

What do you say to the Great man when you meet him? How has he changed?

Karl: I couldn't resist your appeal for answer. I share your concern for the elimination of poverty not only in SA, but throughout the world. Let us pray for wisdom on the part of our govts and generosity on those who have hoarded wealth. We hope this conflict between the haves and have nots will be resolved

Please give us your insight on Mr Mandela, something we can remember him by when we leave this Chat room.

Prof Meer please give us the chance to interact with Nelson Mandela can you do something?

Your insights into Nelson Mandela would be a good way to end this Chat. We pray for him as we do for you and Mr Meer.

Dr Fatima Meer: I'm sorry to be harsh. But I must say that Nelson Mandela has betrayed the revolution and has turned Capitalist after spending 27 years of his life in prison? PLEASSEEEEE ANSWER?

Karl: ou are obviously an imbecile. Please do not interrupt this Chat with your juvenile views. Since when must 27 years in prison define someone's ideology? Begone, cretin!

Dr Fatima Meer: Do you believe in the violently over throwing the system to eliminate poverty, if yes why? And if not why?

Karl: You are obviously an IMBECILE. Please do not interrupt this Chat with your juvenile views. Since when must 27 years in prison define someone's ideology? Begone, cretin!

Mr. Sharma and Lata - everyone has a right to voice their views and opinion as u yrself. please keep that in mind before saying begone to someone.

All: This has been a wonderful experience for me. I have felt close to you and am sad to cut off Dieter, Phoenix, Trenton, Alexander, Naina, Mr. Sharma, Ravi, Savera & Niyanta whom I will meet. I am happy that one of you found optimism in my demeanour. That is in contrast to Mr. Sharma who sensed bitterness. Our country has changed dramatically and for the better - I am hopeful...

Dr. Fatima Meer can u provide us with your insight on Mr. Mandela?

...We have to share both political and economic power in order to become 1 people. Mr Ramaphosa is doing a fine job in opening up Black economic enterprise. Together we will win. Namaste, Salaam-a-laikum and Good bye.
