About this listen

 What a day. The first Afrikaner “refugees” leave for the USA. On the same day, SA topped the tables in the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China, winning two and coming third in another, breaking a national record. The 4x100 victory came against the mighty US team, which has won 15 Olympic gold medals in the event over the years, and the Canadian team, which won the most recent Olympic medal. As this was all going down, 50-odd Afrikaners arrived in Washington on route to Texas, where they will take up their refugee status. What is the difference between these two events? Why is SA so successful in sporting integration and so bad at political integration? Listen in.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro. Music & Design by Bernard Kotze. Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic.
