Stretching out

The newly re-named Helen Suzman Boulevard. Judging by the stretch limo in the distance, it is either Matric Dance season, or an indication that we are nearing the fleshpots of the Atlantic Seaboard suburbs. I can't help thinking that Helen Suzman would be a bit embarrassed at having a street named after herself if she were still around.

Happy Birthday Madiba

Today is Nelson Mandela's 92nd birthday. I thought it was appropriate to post my most favourite photo of him and Helen Suzman (who died last year at the age of 91) - two of the people I admire most in all the world. I don't know who the photographer is, I scanned it a couple of years ago when it appeared in the Cape Times. Happy, happy birthday Madiba!
