Journey of a man - and some news and views thrown in. Angry African on the Loose. Saturday, January 5, 2008. Trevor Manuel, Comrade Parsons and me (1997).

An Accidental Activist: Lusaka - September, 11 (2001)
http://anaccidentalactivist.blogspot.com/2008/01/lusaka-september-11-2001.html
Journey of a man - and some news and views thrown in. Angry African on the Loose. Friday, January 18, 2008. Lusaka - September, 11 (2001). The damn electricity keeps on shutting off in Lusaka. This country exports electricity to South Africa. But they can't even keep their own grid up. And that is a problem for a charity who operates only on the Internet - we depend on electricity to keep us up and running. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

An Accidental Activist: An African adventure - thanks to Air Cameroon (2002)

Journey of a man - and some news and views thrown in. Angry African on the Loose. Wednesday, January 2, 2008. An African adventure - thanks to Air Cameroon (2002). But first I had some travel plans to arrange. I phoned around and everyone else was going to fly Air France - via Jo'burg to Paris to Bamako. That sounded odd. Why fly all the way to Europe to get to Mali? My travel agent also recommended this, but I insisted on her finding a more direct way there. The alternative she came up with? I responded...

Journey of a man - and some news and views thrown in. Angry African on the Loose. Saturday, January 12, 2008. My dad was an ass. My dad inspired me. Inspired me to not be like him. I am sure other people had worse dads. Hey, my old man never beat me up or anything like that. But he was a tough old bastard who wasn't always there for my family - even when he was present. He just looked at me and said, 'well done'. And then returned to play his hand. I just don't know. She never left a note and I want ...

Journey of a man - and some news and views thrown in. Angry African on the Loose. Sunday, January 20, 2008. The Battle of Seattle and me (1999). I was as exited as hell. Minister Alec Erwin, Minister of Trade and Industry, asked me to be part of the Ministerial Team to go to the WTO round in Seattle. Not only was it an incredible honour to represent my country, but this was going to be my first trip to the US. USA here we come. Actually it wasn't that bad. I am like Pavlov's Dog when it comes to flyi...
