Walking in the footsteps of Mr. Mandela

Mr. B was a political prisoner at the jail on Robben Island for 15 years and was released when the Apartheid regime came to an end ...

He was the guide on my visit to the island today and he told his story with great dignity. It was shocking to hear the details of his incarceration. There were periods during the telling when Mr. B had to stop and compose himself. Silent tears were shed ...

He spoke about Madiba with great respect, fondness and pride ...

A day that I will never forget ...
