This whole saga with Jacob Zuma just seems to go on and on. Quite recently I read a newspaper article by Melanie Verwoerd http://www.news24.com/Columnists/MelanieVerwoerd/could-zuma-be-planning-an-ambush-20170531 - which engages the psychology behind the man - really interesting if you're interested. He manages to hold on to power despite onslaught from all directions.
In April there was a call for South Africans in the UK to protest outside South Africa House. We heeded the call. On a lovely sunny spring day I headed into London and met up with Dayne and Tessa.
South Africa House, on the east side of Trafalgar Square, is accustomed to protest. For four years in the late 1980's there was a continous protest outside the embassy - 1408 days - calling for the downfall of apartheid and the release of Nelson Mandela. In this spirit, Saffas came out to protest what is happening in their beloved land. The bokkie has seen it all.
As has Nelson ...
It was so good to spend time with family and members of a wider family.
