Spitting Image: I've never met a nice South African

Side "B" of "The Chicken Song."

In the closing verse, the South African chorus names writer and anti-apartheid activist Breyten Breytenbach, exceptionally, as "quite a nice South African" and say "that's why we threw him in prison". At the time Breytenbach had, as the song points out, been living in exile in Paris and had been previously imprisoned by the South African regime due to his mixed marriage.

I haven't heard this for so long - I was only a young when this came out and it made me more aware of what was going on in South Africa then any news story - along with Peter Gabriel's Biko, free Nelson Mandela concerts and the movie Cry Freedom. It is a shame we don't have people really highlighting issues in funny or thought provoking ways any more.

@palaeologus1 but.....Based on a Forbes analysis of the recently published HSBC Expat Explorer Survey examining the feelings and experience of expatriates living and working in across 100 countries worldwide; South Africa emerged as the 3rd friendliest country and ranked highly in many other fields.
