...more respect than they would have done a year ago." The South Africans know they are loved for being different. While the other boats are sheathed in corporate logos, the sleek black hull of Shosholoza - named after an old work song from the mines - is emblazoned with bright African motifs. Nearly one-third of the sailors are nonwhite.
