On Monday, 20 October, we welcomed Bryan Botha to speak to the club. Bryan gave an excellent presentation about growing up in South Africa. Bryan was born in Johannesburg during the Apartheid Era and lived on the West Rand, 30 minutes west of Johannesburg, and 10 minutes' drive away from Soweto.

Parting Thought
John Matthews provided the parting thought this week -
"It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not."
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
