“It might be hard for you to understand this being an outsider; but South Africa holds the souls of its sons and daughters in an almost inescapable grasp. History cast all of us in a strange and gripping drama, but I had deserted the stage. I had no idea what my role was, and felt I would never be whole until I found out!”

“How apartheid was finally buried, without requiem; but in
joyous celebration, will remain forever in the hearts and minds

the eyes of even the most stern, it was for putting the past in
the past and hoping for hope in the future.”

As the sun rose over Cape Town on Tuesday and a new era dawned, people began streaming in their thousands to the Grand Parade.
