Dear Mum
Nkosi
sikelel i Africa roughly translates as “God bless Africa”. It is the name of
the black national anthem and they used to close all meetings in Soweto by
standing and singing this song. I can’t imagine any of the blacks singing the
official National anthem which I have never heard.
They
did show the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games on the TV news followed
by a report on aboriginal demonstrations. It’s very predictable.
A while
ago I even sent some Christmas presents over. If you want you can sort them out
as you please. I think I left the price on one of the books.
Regards
Alan
