Tata Madiba, Happy birthday to the only hero that we, now a middle aged Afrikaans couple, have ever had. We watched you on TV in 1990, and again in 1995 when you wore Francois' jersey (and marvelled at the forgiveness in your heart). And last Sunday night, when you were at Soccer City, we were so extremely thankful that you were spared to see this day, and indeed the whole incredible month of the World Cup. It must have been your dreams come true. It also was ours!
