AFRICA PART TWO: Moving Out, Moving On
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009/03/moving-out-moving-on.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. Moving Out, Moving On. Two weeks ago, I moved out of my flat and into a cell at the Old Gaol Backpackers. Today is my last day of work at the Grahamstown LRC. Tomorrow, I leave Grahamstown. Goodbye Grahamstown, hello South Africa! Look forward to see you back in Canada, and learn from your travel experience that one day we will go there too. March 16, 2009 at 9:19 PM. I came across your blog while reading up on the CBA opportunity. Seems like youve had an amazing experience! CBA/C...

AFRICA PART TWO: JOZI
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2008/12/jozi.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. Of all the places in South Africa, before coming here, I was most intimidated by Johannesburg. I had heard awful stories about rape (people sleep in. Muggings (in broad daylight! Carjackings (people don’t stop at red lights! And other violent crimes. I even routed my flights through Cape Town to avoid the Joburg airport. I headed to Joburg for a long weekend including Reconciliation Day (December 16). What a shock to be in the big city again! A highlight was meeting. There is...

AFRICA PART TWO: The Old Gaol Slaughter
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009/02/old-gaol-slaughter.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. The Old Gaol Slaughter. One day in January, a message arrived: "You are cordially invited to the chicken slaughter at the Old Gaol as decapitator general. 6pm sharp." I was invited to slaughter a chicken. One night last September while drinking at the Old Gaol, this subject somehow came up. A few days later, Emily showed up at my door with a chicken for me! The way to kill a chicken was to hold it, bend the head backwards, and use a knife to cut its throat, drain the blood. ...

AFRICA PART TWO: September 2008
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. A Lekker Day at the Cow Farm. As mentioned in a previous post, I’ve joined Grahamstown’s hiking club. The hiking club is not only a good way to socialize and see the country, but it’s also great bang for your buck. It’s generally difficult (and can be unsafe) to get around South Africa without your own car. The club organizes group hikes (safety in numbers) and provides carpool transport for a small ( very. We drove 20 minutes out of town to Radway Green. It quickly became ...

AFRICA PART TWO: Tanzanian Christmas
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009/01/tanzanian-christmas.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Stepping out of the plane into Dar es Salaam, I was dazed by a blast of heat. It was like a re-entry into the Africa I experienced in Ghana, with those things that are "typical" of the continent: heat, humidity, sickness, scarce water, intermittent electricity… I was back in Africa to celebrate Christmas! Since this entry covers a lot, I've divided it into the main parts of the two weeks: Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, and Selous. In transit that morning in the Joburg. Gardens but ...

AFRICA PART TWO: November 2008
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. Obama in South Africa in Interesting Times. Several people have asked me what it was like to be in Africa when Obama was elected. In Kenya, they declared a national holiday. Personally, I was excited and elated – I woke at 4am, checked the TV, heard "OBAMA OBAMA", and went back to bed feeling immensely relieved. To have a black man as the president of the United States! Sunday, November 16, 2008. Mountain Zebra is King. Mountain Zebra National Park. Monday, November 10, 2008.

Monday, February 16, 2009. Spaceship to the Great Karoo. The Great Karoo enticed me back with its strange natural and human landscapes. I returned to the semi-desert in the height of summer for a weekend aimed at visiting the. And the Owl House of Nieu Bethesda. I set my alarm to wake the next morning to visit.

AFRICA PART TWO: A Zimbabwean in South Africa
http://roannainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009/03/zimbabwean-in-south-africa.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. A Zimbabwean in South Africa. What does it take to get a work permit in South Africa? For Zimbabwean schoolteacher Zwelani Ncube, it took one year of countless phone calls, visits to Home Affairs, an appeal to the Minister, a High Court application, and finally two court orders before he was finally issued his work permit on February 18, 2009. Last November, the Legal Resources Centre brought a High Court application. Under the court rules. 1977 (3) SA 534 (A) at 545B-G). Mr Ncube...
