Should I be?

Do you think they'll return to SA? Do you think they'd be safe? So many disagreed with them competing....

A few Cambodian (I think?) athletes have gone missing, presumably to avoid returning to their home country, I thought they could do the same. I don't know, she could have returned already.

I was thinking about this actually after reading the other thread in this topic about them being branded prostitutes. I think they should be offered asylum by the government so they have a choice as to whether they return or not.

Well, one of them (Sarah Attar) doesn't live in SA, she's at university in the US, but has dual citizenship.

The other is a 16-year-old, and I worry for her too. She is very brave. I hope she's safe - but her dad is her coach so at least she certainly has strong male support within the family, and obviously that matters a lot.
