In the 'groot krokodil' [big crocodile] se back garden

This evening we had a chance to address a business gathering gala dinner in the Wildernis (just outside of George at the Protea hotel). As always Graham made a wonderful impression with his humble and direct style.

However, as I was leaving the conference hall I noticed the 'cornerstone' of the Hotel, look who opened this hotel in the 'Wilderness'! P.W. Botha! He was one of the last apartheid nationalist Presidents who was much parodied in recent years, and much feared in his time. He retired in the Wilderness snd lived here until his death some years ago.

Ag shame...

I'm on my way back to Cape Town - have a few meetings this morning, and then the evening at home with my wonderful family! Less than 2 weeks before we move into our new home, and I'm out of town three times before then. Please spare a little prayer for us! Thanks, 'one in the wilderness calling "prepare ye the way of the Lord"'....
