siyahamba: succeeding Mandela
http://joeannasawatzky.blogspot.com/2013/12/succeeding-mandela.html
A Mennonite Family's Sojourn in South Africa. Monday, December 9, 2013. One metaphor for Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela has repeatedly emerged for me in the wake of his passing last Thursday. Sunday's City Press. Mandela's death signals the end of an era. There are many reasons why Mandela is beloved, but foremost in the eyes of the world was his example of forgiveness. The point was brought home strongly again by another acquaintance. "We hated. Inspired by Mandela's start, it remains for South Africa- and t...

siyahamba: July 2013
http://joeannasawatzky.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A Mennonite Family's Sojourn in South Africa. Monday, July 15, 2013. A reading of Ruth. We received this encouragement firsthand from Nonyameko Dwele, one of these students, who bore witness to the insights she is gaining through her studies. On a visit to our home last Saturday, Mama Dwele narrated the biblical story of Ruth and made specific applications of its main themes to her own social situation in South Africa (which was one of her assignments in the introductory Old Testament course). The week o...

Peter Goes to Africa: October 2009
http://petergoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Peter Goes to Africa. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. I suppose I've been rather silent for the past couple weeks, you'll have to excuse me, but I was on something of a vacation, beings that my sister and brother in-law came to visit me here in Cape Town. Of course, I was very happy to have them here, actually, I was so excited when I was picking them up at the airport, I didn't even notice that Jon had an arm sling, due to a shoulder injury he attained a week earlier. Thursday, October 8, 2009. Tonight we ...

Peter Goes to Africa: Two Funerals
http://petergoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2009/11/two-funerals.html
Peter Goes to Africa. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. It was a rough weekend for our church community in terms of health concerns. On Sunday I received news of the death or near-death of three people affiliated with our church: Margaret and Monty both passed away, and Johann fell very seriously ill. I received word of all this in the past four days! And then to top that off one of our deacon's mothers fell quite seriously ill as well. To give some relative comparison, I've only been involved with two oth...

Peter Goes to Africa: Review: 'A Celebration of Handel'
http://petergoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2009/11/review-celebration-of-handel.html
Peter Goes to Africa. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Review: 'A Celebration of Handel'. The Philharmonia Choir of Cape Town. It was a memorable performance, I was very glad to be able to sing with such a talented choir that holds high standards for itself. Considering at the beginning of the year I was quite sure I would not be able to sing this year at all, I was glad to have this chance with the Cape Town Philharmonia Choir.

Peter Goes to Africa: September 2009
http://petergoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Peter Goes to Africa. Sunday, September 27, 2009. But there was more to the weekend to Bible studies and discussion. We went down to the beach on Saturday (when it wasn't raining) and played in the sand and took a walk on the beach. Then at night we were entertained by spontaneous power outages and challenging each other with nonsensical, unsolvable riddles (ie. 'I have no arms and no legs, what am I? Sunday, September 20, 2009. Monday, September 14, 2009. September 13th 1989 - September 13th 2009. On Se...

Peter Goes to Africa: July 2009
http://petergoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Peter Goes to Africa. Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Two Days Late, I know. From the Land of the 'Winter Solstice'. I wonder if any of you who read this are actually as concerned with my keeping my bi-weekly Monday promise as I am. Seriously, it gives me stress! But around here things usually quiet down during 'winter break' even at the church. Many of our regular programs shut down for a while, so my schedule has been more relaxed the past few weeks. The Pastor Goes on Sabbatical. It was My Birthday. The Anab...
