Aparthied leaders make "Greatest South African" list.
South African Broadcasting Corporation pulls the plug on the Greatest South African contest when prominent Apartheid leaders make the list**. SABC had planned to air a TV program where the viewers get to listen to debates and then vote for the one they think was the greatest citizen.

Mathowie sez: "I'm going to spend the next couple months of my free time ramping up a ton of stuff on metafilter, including letting people donate five bucks to get a user account."
