Cecil John Rhodes: British Empire Hitman

The Colour of Sunday

Sundays in Soweto are usually days of constraint. There’s a quiet yearning about them. A yearning for the past, both personal and political. Something captured wonderfully by the terms ukubluza and babalaas. The streets are calmer and are coated with those finishing off Saturday’s libations and others in their Sunday best, post-worship.

Even more bizarre was the apology from his foundation.
