Privileged to have put an X in a ballot paper for the first something that wasn't even my fore fathers were allowed to....we were hoping for the best after being disadvantaged- yes for few years things got better we are well educated thanks to F.W De Klerk and all our political leaders who took part in ending apartheid!
