That kid

It was some years ago. April or may. Somewhere deep in a forest in Liberia. A place of illegal mining for diamonds (no, I wasn't there to find some diamonds myself).

And there the kid stood and looked at us and smiled and just kept looking. With its intriguing eyes.

Stuck in the mud

SA183 will bring a friend to OR Tambo today. A friend with whom in 2007 I got stuck in the mud in Liberia on our way to an illegal diamond mine spread out in a forest. Things you do sometimes....



It didn't take us too long to get out of our mud-pool and back on the road we were.
