A well-dressed young man whose baseball cap announced he was a fan of the Porsche World Roadshow, chatted to another in a scarlet T shirt that declared: "Let's all young people Join the Young Communist League of South Africa to crush capitalism as a brutal system and replace it by communism." The contradictions were on show even in the parking lot, where Range Rovers, BMWs and Mercedes-Benz were pasted with giant ANC stickers promising to "Build a Caring Society...
