THE TIGER IN THE WOODS

Tiger Woods is known mostly for his prowess on the green turf. However, lately he added another feather to his cap - women. The hulabaloo which greeted the revelations that he has had some sexual relationships with 14 women (?) at the last count beats my imagination. This is so because I am an African with no colouration or attachments. Just pure African.

I was born into a land where moral teachings included learning to keep quite when one's actions or inactions would offend the sensibility of others or bring the family name to disrepute. For example, it is unheard for a woman to have sex with a man and go about telling it to whoever cared to listen. in other words, there is no "kiss and tell" in Africa. That is not to say that promiscuity is encouraged or tolerated. but you just can engage in such things and go around telling every ear - think about the embarrassment, shame and all that you would be bringing to the family, friends and community.

Not Tiger Woods, his "harem" and the holier than though people in America. The girls took special joy in telling of their escapades with Mr Tiger 'Clean'. Now that the Mr Clean image of Tiger Woods has been smeared (?), he's been thrown into the woods alone. I hear he's gone into rehab to cure him of sex addiction. I wish Tiger was a true African, he would have been hailed as a 'Real Man' instead of being condemned. And those girls, they have no moral gumption. How can you have sex with a man and go about embarrassing and humiliating yourself. Have you no shame, no family, friens and community?

Well, Tiger, pleasw whenever you come out of the wood, give me a shout. I have some advise for you; such that no one can give you.
