I guess it would be weird not to say something about yesterday’s elections.
They did, after all, mark 30 years since true democracy. And like most peoples’
experience of living in South Africa, everyone’s experience of yesterday was
different. For some, it was violence to the point where they couldn’t vote. For
others, it was catching up with neighbours, and ordering Butlers in the queue.
And I honestly don’t have an opinion on how the same thing can be so different,
to the point of seeming grossly unfair,
