Hello, I explained in a post that I could no longer follow bloggers who do not put links on their gravatar! it’s hard to find you. So how easy it is to put your wordpress link underneath your photo or logo; I do not understand this oversight? In addition you would have more readers! Well there I make an effort for you because you follow me from the beginning. Please think about it and thank you for your visits. Congratulations for your blog!
cheers

Afzal this is amazing, I am astounded I really do not think that we South Africans know the impact of what that international contribution was to the struggle for liberation was especially those Jonny come latex who are the experts today. Can I share these memories with people in the international human rights field! I think it is something that must be told. What a contribution Papa has made and what sacrifice all you guys made.

Respected comrade, thank you for your very generous sentiments. I must confess that being born in exile and growing up away from the battles that countless comrades like yourself waged right here at home, I was a mere bystander. My siblings and my parents were the ones who bore the brunt of the injustices of Apartheid, like yourself and the many nameless and faceless courageous people of conscience who made the sacrifices and stood on the ramparts. It is because of those comrades and yourself included that I am today able to even post these historic photographs and scribbles on this blog. Aluta Continua, Chief, and Kea Leboga to all the ordinary working class people who gave their lives so that we may be here today. Thank you again and warmest wishes …
