Zuma agree with denying the Dalai Lama entrance to South Africa

Jacob Zuma agrees that it was right of the South African government to deny the Dalai Lama a entry visa. Even though the peace conference has been postponed till who knows when, the controversy behind this whole visa mess has not died down. I don't know where Zuma got his info but I wonder why the rest of the country was not explained it in this way. Apparently according to Zuma the Dalai Lama cannot come into the country for March because it is the anniversary of the 1969 uprising led by the Dalai Lama. So firstly when that spokesperson said that China had no influence he was lying. Secondly why didn't they just inform them to move the conference before or after March? Why go to the extreme and deny him the visa? If it really was just about the date they could have just said that, now there are all this negative attention on South Africa as if this whole World cup thing isn't a farce in the first place. Our 'brilliant' government built 6 stadiums, where only one would have worked just fine. Spending money on something that would be used rarely. I'm of the topic, the fact is every time someone asked: Was it because of China the Dalai Lama was denied, we where told no. Now the ANC party president goes and says yes it is because of China. Who is lying?
