Kimilsungism in Africa, or the Lack Thereof
Here's an update on a story covered here earlier: S.Africa Denies Dark Continent Reveres Kim Il-sung.

Here's part of the statement from the South African Embassy in Seoul:

Statements like "Africans feel more affinity with North Korea than South Korea" and "Since the 1960s, the biggest obstacle to the independence of African countries was the U.S." are totally incorrect. [It also says it is difficult to understand] how an academic, after visiting South Africa for only two months, can make statements on behalf of South Africans and Africans that are totally distorted.

UPDATE: The Marmot, Korea expat blogger par excellence and himself a former Africa hand, provides in-depth analysis of this story, including the DPRK's connection to thugs like Robert Mugabe, in this post: S. African embassy criticizes scholar’s comments.
