I recently had the privilege to go on a Soweto Tour with City Sightseeing Joburg and one of our stops was Mandela House in Vilakazi Street. Last time I was in Soweto they were still busy with the renovations on the house so I took the opportunity to visit and have a look. There are various quotes throughout the house and decided to do a double whammy with this picture, taking a selfie while getting the quote on the window.
The significance of posting this today is that it is the one year anniversary of the death of Nelson Mandela. Mandela truly gave his life for the betterment of all in South Africa and making the transition peacefully while others wanted to do it otherwise. For that I have all the respect in the world for this man and as a tribute I post this picture today. My Mandela House selfie.
I have reveled in you posts and tweets about Soweto the past while. My excitement is hard to contain as my husband and I will be doing the same tour tomorrow. Thanks for whetting my appetite to #discover and #explore Gauteng.
A great 'selfie' and tribute to a great man.
