Dear MyPE
WHY WHY WHY … are “National Orders” Only Bestowed On ANC-approved Recipients?
Just like in the Eastern Cape which should be called “The Home Of ANC-approved Legends”
I nominated JODY SCHECKTER, an East London native, for several Provincial Awards many times over the years to no avail … as he is currently the ONLY African FORMULA 1 Champion since the Sport’s inception in 1950, the LAST Ferrari F1 World Champion to be known by Enzo Ferrari & the Record Holder for 21 Years as a Driver Title for Ferrari until Michael Schumacher in Year 2000.
Maybe it is because he has no “Struggle Credentials” and/or because he is White?
