Today is the 1 year anniversary of the death of our beloved Nelson Mandela. As Port Elizabeth forms part of the Nelson Mandela Bay metro I decided to make today's Friday Video a tribute to Madiba. I picked up this one of Johnny Clegg doing Asimbonanga along with a group of kids specially for today.
Thank you for your post. Purely by coincidence, one year ago I was driving SA's garden route, on my way to the airport in Port Elizabeth, when the news broke that Nelson Mandela had died. For hours we listened to remembrances on the radio. A few days later, after we got back to Joberg (where my daughter lives), we went to his home outside Joberg to participate with the big crowds in celebrating Madiba's life. It was a most moving experience for an American visitor.
