SERGE CABONGE: ‘WE ARE ALL AFRICANS’
The businessman tells TshisaLIVE that he’s disappointed at the xenophobic commentary about Chidimma Adetshina, who is a Miss SA finalist .
“We’re all Africans at the end of the day and other nations are laughing at us because we can so easily be divided by something like a beauty pageant. I’ve just concluded, Africans are hazards to themselves”, he says.
He asks, if there would be scrutiny like this if Adetshina was a European. He also asks if we were going to hear such nasty remarks if she would’ve won Miss World.
“But I love what Gayton McKenzie said, that he is waiting for information and records of what transpired. We need to consider where this young girl grew up.”
