Que missiva tão tocante...

Recebi um e-mail, proveniente da África do Sul com um tipo de mensagem que só o tinha recebido, até agora e como habitualmente, da Nigéria.
Tentei obter a autenticidade da mesma junto da “referida personalidade” mas não obtive qualquer resposta à mesma.
Porque está em causa uma possível autoridade do país, uma tal Deputy Minister of… do governo de Mbeki, não divulgarei o seu nome, embora vontade não me falte.
Até porque este tipo de mensagens só descredibiliza o povo africano; não quem o recebe e possa cair no logro.
É o país X ou o país Y que irá ser sempre apontado.

É lamentável que surjam estas mensagens.
Continuo a dizer que estas mensagens só ajudam a descredibilizar um povo africano que nunca regateou a solidariedade em tempo algum. Bem pelo contrário.
