For those (few) of you in the Deep South of Cape Town: I went to the first of these, and it was amazing. Sushi, champagne, music, as well as Harry's grand story-telling. Tomorrow night! noordhoekartpoint.co.za/2023…

Today, 67 years ago, approximately 20 000 brave South African women of all races marched in solidarity to the Union Buildings in opposition to the oppressive and racist pass laws of the time. The manner in which they organised themselves that day was momentous.
