My ethos is espoused in the words of Nelson Mandela: “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
You will always find me standing on the side of the underdog OR HERE.
Winston Churchill was a prisoner in Tshwane
Winston Churchill was captured by the Boers during the South African War and thrown into prison in Pretoria. He was working as a war correspondent but the Boers put an end to that. Little did they know that he’d escape and get smuggled onto a freight train heading to Portuguese East Africa (that’s Mozambique). He even came back to Pretoria as a war correspondent and fighter – when the enemy city fell in 1900, he rode in on horseback and liberated a bunch of prisoners.
