It is bad but also not that bad, if that makes any sense. The lack of government services is truly enraging but then there are people like Nomsa (and Dennis, from my last post) just carrying on and doing such amazing things…South Africa!

I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten – no library, no trash pickup, no lights? I’m glad though to see everyone in solidarity and good spirits. Take care, Heather. xo

The Hector Pieterson memorial was not a huge part of this particular tour but each tour they do is different. The price of the tour varies between R250 and R950 depending on if you include transport, food, etc.

Just wondering whether Hector Peterson’s memorial & role in the Soweto Youth Uprising received any prominence? Also, an indication of the cost?

Yeah, there’s no sugar-coating that one!

Heartbreaking ending for Seth, though I appreciate you sharing it.

So glad you got to meet Seth Mazibuko, I’ve met him a couple of times with JHF, such a humbling super person.
