Racism by the Book

South African laws reserving holiday resorts for whites were scrapped a few years ago, but there are still many places that practice apartheid. The Pearly Beach Resort is one of over a dozen whites-only places listed in the 1993/94 Guide to Holiday Cottages put out by one of South Africa's biggest publishers. The Minister of Tourism was shoked to hear about the whites-only advertisements-Bhadra Ranchod is the first onowhite in South Africa to hold a Cabinet post. The publishers say the racist ads will be excluded form the next edition.
