The day was 26 May 1982. South Africans were asked to send in photos taken on that day and a wonderful book was created showing a moment in time of a country.
It was organised into 24 chapters, depicting the hours of that day. I opened up on a few pages randomly. It might be important to note that this was during apartheid and many photos contrasted the different life styles in the country, however, there were many encouraging images that showed a country about to change. It took another 8 years until Nelson Mandela was freed from prison which seems a short time now in retrospect but at the time we thought that particular day would never come.
That the book fell open on this page was a special bonus for me because of the black and white picture on the bottom right side. It is from a theatre production at the Market Theatre called “Saturday Night at the Palace”. The writer Paul Slabolepszy also starred (he is the blond guy on the right), the other two actors are Bill Flynn and Fats Dibeko. It had opened not even a month earlier and ran a total of three seasons, most performances being sold out. My husband and I were there, not on 26 May but in May or June that year for sure. It was later made into a movie with the great John Kani.
