A Greek ancestor from the early 20th century.
I have no idea even of his name or our connection, neither do my great aunts.
But he has such aura.

- As a white South African, before I was 18, I experienced: 2 carjackings, 1 successful & included racial abuse. 2 muggings, both at knife point, one at 12 years old, both included overt racism. 3 home invasions, 1 time they shot at us.
- Second rate civilisation living in the wonders of my ancestors."Five years ago, Hagia Sophia was reopened as a mosque — It was an act of liberation." I agree.
Readers added contextHagia Sophia was built as a church, the historic center of Greek Orthodoxy, seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Its conversion to mosque or even a museum, while under the Turkish state control rather than the Ecumenical Patriarchate, symbolizes the monument’s subjugation. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sop… - For non-south Africans; “muti” means her body parts will be used for protection magic.I’m afraid to know what happened to this child.

- Replying to @SifiReturnedMy neighbour was executed on the side of the road by two men he let hitch a ride on the back of his truck. Another man stopped to see why the car was pulled over with the door open, the shot him too. The murderers let his black foreman walk away, he cried a lot at the funeral.
- Replying to @SifiReturnedI was born after the end of apartheid. My dad was a conscientious objector to the (apartheid) draft and faced prison. My family ran charity medical clinics, feeding programs and orphanages. We are the pacifist liberals. We believed in the new South Africa.
- Replying to @SifiReturnedI remember arriving at a nearby farm once to drop off something. A bunch of people came out with guns and told me that this farmer, an intergenerational family friend, was shot and killed closing a farm gate in a random attack, they left his car idling and didn’t even take it.
- Replying to @SifiReturnedA friend of mine in university in the UK, a lovely fine art student called Anna, was in the car on the way to the airport to leave South Africa with her family, and her mom was shot and killed in an attempted carjacking.
- Replying to @SifiReturnedJust this last year: -my great grandfather’s cousin and his wife (84 and 85) were kidnaped for R2M ransom, it was a targeted hit. -a 94 year old aunt had a home invasion and the ransacked the house around her in bed. -my cousin was stabbed in the arm in an attempted carjacking.
- This Nun: moves to a war zone, gives up all personal belongings and even the right to have a mirror. Eric: spends thousand of dollars on hair care, plugs and very obvious Botox.
- She didn’t kill her child, she won’t kill yours, that’s demonstrating a quality that a lot of women don’t have in the modern world. Maybe reconsider your judgement.Here we are
