Today is Heritage Day in sunny South Africa. It’s the day…

I really should have played my South African card and taken the day off so I could also celebrate National Braai Day. The day started off wet and miserable, but now the sun’s come out and it looks like we’re in for a lovely day. I’m on lates, so could still call in South [...]
