It's a Madiba Christmas

Alex's first visit to South Africa coincided with the recent passing of Nelson Mandela. Limited time meant we had to prioritize the things we did with him while in Joburg. There is soooo much to do here. But since Madiba's passing pretty much defines this period of time, we decided to concentrate on some of the sights associated with his life in Soweto and the Joburg CBD.

Mandela Bridge. Vilakazi Street. Soweto. Regina Mundi.


The Apartheid Museum.




A small scale representation of the Mandela Capture Site.

The Shadow Boxer sculpture across the street from ...



 ... the Chancellor House law offices of Tambo and Mandela.















  ... and in front of the court house.















 The completed Mandela Mural in Maboneng.




Have a Madiba Christmas!



Off to Regina Mundi for Christmas Eve Mass!
