Heard on the plane: this evening at 7 pm, there will be a gathering with a lot of choirs from all over the World in St. Georges Cathedral, just behind the confence venue. Among them a church gospel choir from South Africa.

Sounds interesting!

Cheers, Ciell

Yes, the big Mandela related news in Cape Town today is the unveiling of the Nelson Mandela statue at the Old City Hall. We are currently planning to get our group photograph at that statue on Sunday but that is presides the point.

So, I was wrong on the date — it’s on the 24th for the parade and unveiling. Sorry for the misinformation! :(
