Left Botswana for Johannesburg. We are staying in Hotel Michaelangelo, a very luxurious hotel to rest in the middle of this hectic trip. jawahir goes to Zambia tomorrow and I to Malawi.



The serene calm of our new surroundings is surreal given what those unfortunates in Botswana and also in Musina, a story we have yet to tell, are going through. At least minor incidents like the interminable wait at OR Tambo Airport, seem so trivial in comparison to what thousands are experiencing today.
