When I was a young woman, I worked with street children. It was a time when anyone with a darker skin was invisible to the government of the day. Unless they caused a nuisance. Heartbreaking what powerful people will allow to happen to their people. On Saturday we celebrated 25 years of democracy (check out my post if you like), but we have just come through a really bad patch, thanks to Jacob Zuma. We vote again on 8 May. We are all worried about the rise of the populist right. We could, especially with the discovery of oil, if the wrong people get into power, and up like you and your compatriots.
Thank you for this beautiful series of drawings

Thank you very much.
I hope what happened to us will not happen anywhere else, but again, history is meant to repeat itself. People just refuses to learn and some people seem to feed from others' pains and tribulations.
And the historians think that we should learn from history. I agree with you. They (we) don't. Thank you for your good wishes. Let's see what 9 - 10 May hold for South Africa.
Be well @hlezama
