Jailbreak. Serving Time
Noseweek|April 2017

WE RECENTLY HEARD FROM A friend about the Pollsmoor Prison restaurant called Idlanathi (We eat together) which is staffed by prisoners.

Jailbreak. Serving Time

Pollsmoor was even home to Mandela for a while. We had never been to a prison before. We had also heard about Pollsmoor and its overcrowding a few times on the news that week. Everyone in my family was interested.

We had hardly made the decision, when I overheard my son telling his friends that we will be going to Pollsmoor as we have decided to do “Interesting Things” this year. (True. Figpicking and virtual reality gaming are next on the list.) Such enthusiasm for family outings.

Everybody Drinks Corona

I am hesitant to go Into the pub today. Not because it’s illegal, but there is a crÚme colored 1985 Mercedes 300D parked behind the pine tree. This means the devil is inside; that’s what we call Dr. De Villiers. You don’t know whether you will encounter the good doctor with the charming bedside manner or the violent, bipolar bully. The problem is, most of the time, you can never be sure which it is, so it’s best to always keep a social distance.

Bush school – A memoir

OUR SCHOOL WAS IN THE MIDDLE of the bush, ten miles from the nearest town in the harsh beauty of the Zimbabwean highveld. It started life in World War II as No 26 EFTS Guinea Fowl, a Royal Air Force elementary flying training school and I arrived there in 1954, just seven years after it became an all-white co-ed state boarding school.
