It Was a Pity (She Did Not Call Security)

It was a pity
she did not call security

It was a pity
security needs to be called
in our newly free country

It was a pity
she didn’t feel secure
with the intelligent species
all around days after
National Women’s Month

It was a pity
not just for Ziningi Shibambo
but for the all of us

Penned Tuesday morning, September 2 2008 on seeing the Cape Times piece,
“Woman racially taunted, assaulted by three men at Tri-Nations Test.”
