Happy 90th birthday Madiba

PROJECT BLACK : TAKE NINE

I've posted this photo of the Mandela statue in Mandela Square in Sandton before, but I thought that in honour of this great man's birthday and the fact that I like it in B&W, that I would post it again.

It's also my Dad's birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dad! If I'd got to your house earlier, I would've taken a photo of you! Enjoy dinner with mom tonight ;)

in 1994 I met Desmond Tutu!
ACTUALLY.........he and I corresponded regarding a school project.

It was an awesome experience and one which that particular class of pupils will never forget. The same year Nelson Mandella was elected!
