Considering the ANC's struggle for freedom and equality, you would think the suffocating of voices would be something they adamently abhor...sadly the oppisite is true. Power - greed - ignorance. |

I am so saddened that in this enlightened age there are some who still make these kinds of choices. Please reconsider. |

Isn't South Africa supposed to represent something higher than self interest of those in power?
By that measure alone, apartheid was just fine!?
Surely, S Africa stands for something better? |

I'm shocked by this decision - those who made it seem to be conveniently forgetting the past and sold their souls for a few yuan more. Time for another boycott me thinks.... |

It is disgusting to deny a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate a visa to S.Africa. Stop kowtowing to the Chinese dictatorship! |

Based on the article that I have read, it seems that the South African government is a victim, too. Solutions? Don't give the Dalai Lamea a visa, but let him attent via web conference. |

Of all the countries, it is South Africa that chooses to deny entry to the Dalai Lama. How can the South African government forget the lessons of their own history so soon. Please give the visa. |

good luck with the campaign. the Chinese Government has been doing this nasty pressure world wide. the best way to handle this would be to have HHDL sit down with the Chinese leaders and talk! |

Excluding the Dalai Lama from a peace conference by denying him a visa is an outrageous hypocracy and such a conference cannot be taken seriously. Please grant the Dalai Lama a visa and invitation. |

Is this how the New SA conducts itself? By siding with a country that violates human rights after it's own past.
What a sad day for the country and its people. |

The minister or official responsible has acted without properly applying his / her mind. The action is a total over-reaction to the situation. The visa should be granted without delay. |
