MICHAEL MORRIS | A free society produces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions - Business Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was looking for something quite different in my labyrinthine and somewhat ramshackle digital archive last week when I came across a Cape Argus news report of late December 1911 informing readers with an entirely straight face that “the natives of the Fiji Islands have become less fastidious in their tastes, and have taken to eating tinned salmon in place of the white man”.
