Yes, the big Mandela related news in Cape Town today is the unveiling of
the Nelson Mandela statue at the Old City Hall. We are currently planning
to get our group photograph at that statue on Sunday but that is presides
the point.

Heard on the plane: this evening at 7 pm, there will be a gathering with a
lot of choirs from all over the World in St. Georges Cathedral, just behind
the confence venue. Among them a church gospel choir from South Africa.

Sounds interesting!

Cheers,
Ciell

So, I was wrong on the date — it’s on the 24th for the parade and unveiling. Sorry for the misinformation! :(
