And I must see that my business grows."Township society feels surprisingly little acrimony as the black middle classes have started to move out to white suburbs and send their children to former white schools "Jealousy is common, but they can't destroy you. But they don't have sufficient assets to back what they want to do. We're just looking at credit products," said John More, 41, who was one of South Africa's first black bank managers "My fellow guys [from Soweto] want money. And the new black business class is also determined to find some common cause with its old white masters."My business is not black or white. But a far bigger invasion has been by dressed-up weekend tourists from the poor outskirts, window-shopping in gleaming malls.
As they race ahead, the new middle class also has to keep a weather eye on those relatives who are still poor. Perhaps 20 per cent of black South African society has not even a foot on the economic ladder, nine months after multi-racial elections brought in President Nelson Mandela's government.So far, black society has been patient, ready to take the slow, hard route out of the townships and squatter camps, accepting the culture of reconciliation fostered by Mr Mandela and his African National Congress.A black criminal underclass does target white suburbs.

This is symbolic and probably refers to the 30,000 "Successors" Alexander recruited in Persia to safeguard the destiny of his empire.The tablets, inscribed in Greek, appear to date from around 30 years after Alexander's death in 323 BC, but a third is Roman, dates from the early 2nd Century AD and suggests the tomb was a centre for a cult of Alexander.The archaeologists, led by Liana Souvaltzis, of the Athens-based Institute of Hellenistic Studies, also found an eight-pointed star in the tomb - the symbol of Alexander's Macedonian royal family. It wasI who was caring about his secrets, and who was carrying out his wishes. I was honest to him and to all people and as I am the last one still alive I state that I have done all the above for his sake."A smaller tablet refers to 30,000 soldiers being told to guard the tomb. "The evidence points to the tomb being that of Alexander the Great. But I must stress that the archaeologists are only beginning excavations."Five key pieces of evidence linking the tomb to Alexander, who expressed a wish to be buried at Siwa, have been found.
