Overview

How apartheid was finally buried, without requiem; but in joyous celebration, will remain forever in the hearts and minds of a nation reborn. When tears came, and there was dampness in the eyes of even the most stern, it was for putting the past in the past and hoping for hope in the future. From http: //www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Look_at_South_Africa_Celebrate_the_Beloved_Country.html DEDICATION To our mom, Hazel Margaret Lock (7th Jan 1922 - 2nd June 2006). Thanks, mom for sending me all those clippings from The Beloved Country and keeping me up to date over the years, but more so for all the encouragement, support and especially love. Your generous spirit lives on in this work , a true labour of love . This is for YOU! RIP, dearest mom C and G ( Hemingway *) * a private family joke! In the light of current world events and global uncertainty, I say: Look at South Africa ... Thousands of people died over the years of South Africa's turbulent, history (and under the nightmare called apartheid - forgotten already )...which has ended relatively peacefully. In a land of such contrasts, a happy, sad land of great wealth and the disparity of abysmal poverty; yet the beauty and richness of the land ...and most importantly its most valuable resource, the spirit of its 45 million diverse and vibrant peoples always seems to shine through in conquering adversity. Out of a violent and bloody past, South Africa's extraordinary relatively peaceful transition to democracy was a minor miracle ... and I believe, South Africans have accomplished something precedence, unparalleled in the last decade. - the words of Former Archbishop, Desmond Tutu How apartheid was finally buried, without requiem; but in joyous celebration, will remain forever in the hearts and minds of a nation reborn. When tears came, and there was dampness in the eyes of even the most stern, it was for putting the past in the past and hoping for hope in the future.
