There\u2019s been a lot happening in South Africa over the past week.<\/p>\n

Private schools accused of\u00a0being racist; the government explaining how a wanted president escaped via private jet from an air force base; and a man\u00a0remains behind bars after he was caught having sex with a goat.<\/p>\n

With regards to Sudanese President\u00a0Omar al-Bashir flying out of\u00a0Waterkloof Air Force base recently despite a court order preventing him doing so, the powers that be\u00a0have explained how it happened: the immigration officer did not see his passport.<\/p>\n

The explanations goes something like this: a group of people rocked up at the base, said they were flying out of the country on al-Bashir\u2019s jet, gave a batch of passports \u2013 none of which were\u00a0al-Bashir\u2019s \u2013 and left.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m no Sherlock Holmes, but I would think that the little photos in the passports would be checked against the faces of those getting onto the departing plane.<\/p>\n

The again, maybe\u00a0al-Bashir was hidden in a carry-on bag, or wearing a fake moustache and glasses \u2013 those disguises can be pretty tricky to see through.<\/p>\n
