An email in to us: "As a South African, I can tell you that the artists who initially came out against the Apartheid regime did not have an easy life.  They were blacklisted; some were exiled; and the media and political classes—and even some organisations that purported to be artist-centered—turned against them in every way.  But they are heroes to us, to this day; and the youth always responded to their message, because the youth have a strong spirit and sense of justice.  Never be afraid to speak the truth. Your fear of "consequences" is the only hold that the establishment has over you, and when that is gone… only the truth, as you see it, remains.  This fact is known to all those who resist oppression, no matter what form it takes."
