The Dalai Lama has cancelled his trip to South Africa to attend Archbishop Tutu’s birthday after the state failed to grant him a visa in time.

The battle for control of Cape Town will be an even playing field if the ANC pits Cosatu leader Tony Ehrenreich against the DA’s Patricia de Lille.
Cosatu’s Western Cape provincial secretary, Tony Ehrenreich believes the Democratic Alliance has reason to be concerned.
Cosatu has forwarded the name of its Western Cape provincial secretary, Tony Ehrenreich, to the ANC as a candidate for mayor of Cape Town.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille had hoped to have at least three other women in her cabinet, according to papers filed in the Equality Court.
