Long walk to freedom

ever since i visited cape town in 2006, i have developed a facination towards this rainbow nation. also they have a very strong rugby side whom had beaten the migthy all blacks last night. Currently i am reading the autobiography of Nelson Mandela " the long walk to freedom". right now i am still in the 1950s, the early years of aparthied. I am amazed when i learned the first organized act of defiance by the ANC was on the 26th june 1952 called the Act of Defiance Campaign. Now when I celebrate my birthday, i would also know on that date history was made.

I am also proud that the muslim community (indian and colored) had played a major role along side Nelson Mandela in his struggle to eridicate aparthied. I also learned aparthied means apart.

recently i met a gentlemen from south africa, he beamed when we spoke about Madiba, Cheeky Watson and Luke Watson. and he was amazed when i told him my son can sing Nkosi Sikelel' i Afrika....
