If you have seen the movie Invictus you know the significance of the South African no. 7 shirt at the Rugby World Cup 1995 and what it meant for the South African nation in general, and Nelson Mandela in particular. This photo was taken at the RWC twenty years later when Francois Piennar (the captain of the Springbok team in 1995 and wearer of the no.7) was inducted in the World Rugby Hall of Fame. I was high up but I caught a glimpse of Piennar and the huge screen showed him as well.
Nelson Mandela’s autobiography is called Long Walk to Freedom, and he was certainly a man who wanted to be free, who gained his freedom, so other people would be free.
“I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.

Freedom seemed so close then.

Hi there, neighbour!
“Love your neighbor as yourself; but don’t take down the fence.”
Carl Sandburg
Even in garden gnome society this seems to be a followed adage.
And certainly, some neighbours may be cute but you do not want them on your side of the fence.
I don’t know that the fence will keep those neighbours on their side, though.
And there are some neighbours who will be welcomed even if they have to climb that fence to come over.
