Melt my heart

Sarah: Hey, Juma, Grandma wants to know what you want for Christmas. So think about it, ok?

Juma: I don't know what I want. I don't want anything. I have everything I want right here (hugs me).

Johannesburg, day 4: Lion Park

Johannesburg, Day 3: ropes course

Johannesburg, Day 2: Soweto tour

At the "Welcome to Soweto" sign. This is where most of the anti-apartheid action took place.
At the Freedom Charter, written by the anti-apartheid gurus such as Mandela.
The house Mandela and his family lived in in Soweto, before his jail time.  His family got shot at by snipers.  Regularly.
The World Cup stadium, designed to look like a calabash of traditional sorghum beer.
