I am appalled by the caption posted for the photograph of black south African women on washing day. The work Kaffir is extremely offensive and degrading to a race of people who have struggled all over the world for centuries. The direct translation for a Kaffir is a non believer. South Africa has progressed tremendously over the past 15 years and to refer to any race or person as a non believer or Kaffir is negligent on this website's part.
