‘The ANC is a typical terrorist organization. Anyone
who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is
living in cloudcuckoo land.’ — Former
British PM Margaret Thatcher, 1987, quoted in the Ottawa Citizen,
1996.07.13
‘I make my own bed every day. I don’t allow the ladies who
look after me to do it, I make my own bed. I can cook a decent
meal ... I can polish a floor. Why can’t you do it?’ — Nelson
Mandela, 1994.03.20
In March of 1996, my housemate
Tigris and I visited friends of mine in Durban, South Africa. I’m
going to write up some notes from that trip, but I haven’t done
that yet. In the meantime, here are some pictures I’ve finally
gotten around to scanning.
All images are 400x300 JPEGs unless otherwise noted. They were all scanned with a hand scanner that was not great by 21st-century standards, so I may re-scan them at some point.
