You have captured the essence of that "golden time" and something of the deep disillusionment and sense of betrayal felt by many of us 30 years on. However I still have hope for our "wobbly" democracy and faith that the majority of our people are still pursuing the dream.
Fiona and I send you our best wishes and appreciation for your skill with words.
Thanks so much for your very kind comments, Rod. I like to think I'm writing in hope rather than in despair. The truth is that I'm far more optimistic about the likelihood of a functioning democratic society in SA than I am about the chances of the British and US electorates engaging both their hearts and minds when the time comes to make their marks.
Thank you, Gordon.
