Johannesburg
12.81
Dear Mum et al,
I
posted a X-mas present which should arrive late in January. I think it is
intrinsically African. It’s a piece of handicraft emanating from North
Transvaal. The images are very simplistic and colorful which is characteristic
of the blacks.
In the
veldt a few weeks ago we found some bushman paintings on some rocks. They were
all very simple uniformly red drawings of animals. In the bush the idea is to see/glimpse game
before it runs away. At night everybody talks about politics which is the
national obsession while listening to the monkeys.
Apropos
Pamela if she comes to Africa she should spend some weeks/time in SA. In Joberg
there is not much for the tourist except the local people but there are a lot
of things in SA you could see. You would have to go to Kenya, Zambia before
coming here. Such is politics, Zimbabwe is not a problem.
Regards
Alan
