Dumisani and Carol arrived quite by surprise very early one morning in March. I had had Dumisani's enquiry the evening before, but while I slept he had paid his deposit, packed, driven from Midrand to Mpumalanga and arrived bright and early with Carol. We had a lovely filter coffee together and thats when it all came out. Dumisani from Joburg, South Africa met Carol from London, England on Facebook! Sweet! Rushing off to a business conference close-by, Dumisani left Carol with me. As their room was not quite ready at 8am, Carol joined me for a sight seeing tour of Belfast - Yes, even quaint old Belfast makes an interesting jaunt for visiting tourists. Carol works in midwifery research in London, and was remarking how heathly it is for babies to be carried on their Mum's backs, as is so natural here in South Africa. Its just the best for bonding. Well done Africa's Mums.....we can show the world! On the subject of great African women, I took a short detour to Mum Ngwenya's vegetable garden between Belfast and Syathuthuka. No one was at work that day but we could see that the fields had been harvested. When's the next crop due Mum Ngwenya? Tourism businesses are ready to come buy your fresh vegetables!
