Oscar Pistorius doing the staged prayer made me sick
Pistorius is an Afrikaners and they are God-fearing and believe in the power of prayer.
Power of media manipulation you mean.
You don’t understand the Afrikaners. They are mostly strict Calvinists. Everything including political meetings starts with a prayer. In the old days morning parade in the army started with prayers led by the Unit Dominee or, in his absence, by the senior officer on parade.
Was any one of those “protesters” over the age of 12??
Solid here’s what happened today. I feel informed
have your say
