Two years ago a columnist at Sunday World Kuli Roberts was fired for writing certain things about coloured people. In her column Shwashwi, which I used to follow, she wrote that coloureds were a fascinating human species in that some of them, after imbibing alcohol engage in serious fights. She wrote that when such fights ensued, the fighters used anything they could lay their hands on; dishes, television sets, radio, spoons, chairs and others. She added that once all these weapons of mass destruction were done with, the fighters would use anything including their underwear.
