US embassy cable - 04PRETORIA3889

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Report on International Religious Freedom 2003, the Country 
Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2003, the report on 
Supporting Human Rights and Democracy: The U.S. Record 
2003-2004, and the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report - June

2. Embassy will not translate the South Africa section in the 
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2003.  English 
is one of South Africa's eleven official languages, and is 
effectively South Africa's lingua franca, commonly understood 
by the vast majority of post's audience for the Country 
Reports on Human Rights Practices.
