Offended by Story

I am deeply offended to see a story in the Travel Section (News and Briefs, Dec. 16) promoting Cape Town, South Africa. Apartheid is still alive and well in South Africa, and there still is an international boycott of the country in place.

Until freedom is restored to everyone in South Africa, and until everyone has the right to vote and choose where he or she will live, and until the black majority of the country is represented in its government, I for one do not want to read about how Cape Town is preparing for an onslaught of tourists.
