Your religion in your country? *

Well we are fortunate that historically South Africa has mostly been a Christian country, so we have a lot of religious freedom. In fact, we often hear and see sports presenters, commentators, sportsmen and news reporters make reference to God. *

I must say that our media is actually very sensitive to all religions though. Our media pretty much caters for most religions. Our digital satelitte tv has an Islamic channel and also caters for the hindu public. Our free tv also broadcasts programs for the hindu and other cultures, and I recently saw that they were broadcasting a special on the Quran for the muslim population. So all in all, I think there is a high level of religious tolerance in South Africa. *

rastafarians believe that Haile Saliese (former ethiopean king) is God. they believe in being at peace with nature. an example of a rastafarian would be bob marley. they smoke marijuana for religious reasons. Its a carribean religion that seeks to bring african culture to the rasta adherents. note the african culture bit is debatable *

haile selasse was forced ino exile by mussolini, he returned with south african and british help to his throne during ww2. he was later overthrown by his generals. and died in old age *
