So, I'm sitting in my Land Rover, driving in the Kruger National Park on my way to Lower Sabie and in the car in front is a family - mum, dad and two kids.
On the back of the car is Blue Bulls sticker - that's the Joburg/Pretoria rugby team. We've all stopped to look at some elephants and the kids in front are clearly having a ball. Just another day in the park, right?
Wrong.
This is the day Nelson Mandela is being buried, and what strikes me as really significant, on this day of all days, is that the people in the car in front of me are black.
