The reason we took so long to adopt it is because of = a government minister named Jaap Marais He said that television was an = instrument of the devil. He feared that by showing programs that = encouraged racial mixing (american) television would undermine the = religeous and political systems( this man is a little bit to the right = of your David Duke! ) only after he left the government to form his own = political party did we finally start to get television in sa.The crime = issue is probably unrelated because as time went on the people became = increasingly brutalised to the extent where we stopped thinking of each = other as human(I mean this quite literally) We have picked up some very = bad memes over the years
