Please put our beloved Gogo in your prayers

Selina packed some rations for her grandchildren in her rural home this morning, enough to feed them for a few days, but not enough to attract any tsotsis to her loot. Armed with a huge smile and an enormous amount of determination, we hugged, shed tears for our impoverished and battered nation and off she went to vote in her home constituency.

I am wracked with worry as to her safety, for in the presidential elections her activist husband was beaten to a pulp and had to hid
e in the bush for five days.

For any of you out there who are listening, please put our beloved Gogo in your prayers tonight.
