censorship

I have to agree with mathabane and the whole idea of his stories being censored. People have the tendancy these days to down grade things not in the context of bringing down or putting down but in the sense that things have to fit with their lifestyles and how they do things. so unfortunately his story was one of them, it may have been a really graphic and quite mind blowing acts of violent during the apartheid that most people know was a very tough and rough time that people in South Africa had to go through but then we also have to realize that this a man talking, and telling his story of his life adventures and near encounters and this are things that really captivated him and were dear to him so when someone goes through the trouble of removing that whole scene of the story, he has actually removed a really significant part of the authors works which he wrote in order for the world to know his story. This parts that are censored out are a very big time in his life and maybe he could just rate the book a little bit higher and for the more mature people who can handle his stories. Yes there are times when censor ship is actually necessary like basically in almost all forms of media because our world is developing really fast and media is actually a really big company and promising in terms of investments so people need to watch what they see or hear in this media because companies now are getting the latest shows just to be the person with the latest show now this shows mostly hurt the youth because they watch television most of the time and will be exposed to these things that will teach them wrong.
