Not so, Hone

- Kerikeri

Hone Harawira writes on Winnie Mandela accurately. A woman of her times, heavily involved in the tragic history of South Africa. Since Black rule the situation has worsened, as the nation becomes an everincrea­sing basket case.

One thing Hone got wrong (perhaps on purpose) was that Jesus Christ got it wrong. Many Jewish people got it wrong, not believing Christ was exactly who He said He was, overcoming death, and they still haven’t got the message. We will all know the facts in time.

We are all mongrels, a mix of many bloods, Maori, Pakeha or whatever. New Zealand is becoming a real mixture of many races and cultures. Some Kiwis are shamefully forced by many circumstan­ces to live in poverty. Others super rich and becoming richer by the hour. A bit like South Africa was, and look what happened there!

Christ didn’t get it wrong, His teachings are mankind’s only hope.
