ZuluWiki! I wish there was some free or very cheap way to get on the internet here. I’m sure many folks would love to take part in that community. I should show it to some of my friends, see what they think.

I agree with your take on the warehouse. Especially because it seems like exceptional treatment, people notice they are being disrespected.

Here I’m not sure; at first it struck me as such, but security concerns are so ubiquitous that I think people hardly notice it. Almost any house that is more than a shack has razorwire fencing. At some point you just sort of see past it maybe? Or maybe not, maybe it does leave a lasting impression of distrust. It’s hard to know how it effects people here since it’s really all they know.

there are eighty-six articles in Zulu at

http://zu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhasi_Elikhulu

It’s modest, but a start nevertheless.

It was a couple of days ago, but your story about the padlock and cages in the school restroom reminded me of my reaction to the security in the warehouse. They are on completely different scales, of course. But I think if people are put in that sort of degrading environment, is it any wonder that the general enthusiasm and morale is so low?
