Back then, the white minority held a virtual monopoly on political and military power, and no self-respecting artist went there to perform in a country where the black majority was oppressed under apartheid. Indeed, it's hard to imagine any of the bands named in the article above being allowed to perform by the ultra-conservative Boers who were in power then. Good thing that the world sometimes DOES change for the better. It’s cool to see that South Africa has come such a long way since when I was a college student in the mid- to late 1980s.
