thirdworld writes in southafrica about the anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, and reminds me that the "new" South Africa is 17 years old.

How time flies!

And there was a time when I thought I would never see it in my lifetime.

The annus mirabilis 1989 when peace and freedom were breaking out all over. And then Saddam Hussein had to go and spoil it all by invading Kuwait.

new south africa, mandela, peace, freedom
